So, I recently decided to use my Pixiv account for other than lurkin' artists' explicit pictures, and decided to upload some of my own here. At first, I didn't really think about the whole censoring thing, but I did know it was some kind of serious law in Japan. Then, just to be sure, I checked the guidelines and they even give a guide on how to mosaic censor pictures if needed, so I freaked out, deleted one of my picture that was 154% guilty for displaying genitals, and censored it to reupload it again.
A moment later, I thought again about all that, and remember on how lots of artists don't even touch their explicit art, even some Japaneses artists leave them untouched, so I'm kind of lost now.
Does it apply only if you are Japanese yourself ? Or if you plan/are selling that piece of art ? Or Pixiv/artists just don't really care about it at all ?
