Japan is very lax over pedophillia.
Nah. They’re lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.
Not really, they’re lax about CSAM and didn’t even have laws until 2016-2017. Even then the laws are lax

They didn’t bother outlawing possession of CP until 2014 edition.cnn.com/2014/06/…/japan-child-porn-law Distribution was legal right up until 1999

Under the new law, people in possession of child pornography have one year to dispose of it before they risk prosecution.

Very considerate!

They go after it mainly to appease external forces like other countries objecting to it, but people who are convicted often get very light sentences.
