Offline for a few days…

 

I’d just like to inform my readers/comrades/friends that I will be offline for a few days next week from Tuesday on.

Going to have an eye surgery on Tuesday, June 30 at 1700 UTC+2.

Details for those interested below:

Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelium Keratomileusis (LASEK) is a procedure that also changes the shape of the cornea using an excimer laser to ablate the tissue from the corneal stroma, under the corneal epithelium, which is kept mostly intact to act as a natural bandage. The surgeon uses an alcohol solution to loosen then lift a thin layer of the epithelium with a trephine blade (usually with a thickness of 50 micrometres). During the weeks following LASEK, the epithelium heals, leaving no permanent flap in the cornea. This healing process can involve discomfort comparable to that with PRK.

Eroge Websites blocked

You may have heard about the RapeLay incident: None Japanese gaming sites/feminist groups/ politicians using one of the most extreme sort of Eroge as reference for all games of this genre. And banning them. This lead to the situation we are in atm: Foreign visitor are blocked from most Eroge producer’s websites.

.

 

After a lot of reactions from foreigners minori added the statement on the left to their homepage.

.

The blocking was quite a strict move but after thinking about it I guess it was the right decision for the current situation.

How should they deal with politicians who have no insight (especially the foreign ones) and who tell them that foreigners are offended by their games?  How would you react?
