SLR's deep learning model for an automated Japanese censoring

Meh, I find I don't mind so much when viewing Jav stuff if it's censored. Used to hate it and try to squint my eyes to remove some of the blur (it kinda works, but not well), but I've come (lol) to a happy place where I can accept it in exchange for some of the fucking weird shit they put in their vids.

Slightly off-topic, but not really, there are some fascinating points of view that having a blank slate (read bland actor, but in this case blurry images) makes it easier for viewers to insert (lol) themselves into the action, to project themselves into the scene.

I concentrate on the models reactions (facial and noises) more so than just staring at a cock/pussy combo anyway, so maybe that's why I don't mind the censorship so much.

Philip Nah, what's illegal is illegal.

I still don't it. Shooting uncensored porn is not illegal in Japan (naturally, because the censoring happens later in the editing room). Making uncensored porn available to Japanese people is illegal, I get that. Japanese government can dictate what their own people get to see. What I don't get is why making uncensored porn available to the whole rest of the world except Japan would be illegal. Japan has no jurisdiction outside Japan. And why would they even care how the content is available to everyone else on the world except Japanese people?

LordCrash SLR is trying to enter the JVR market. They already have a huge foothold in the American/European markets, and they're trying to get a bigger slice of what is literally the largest single adult film market in the world: Japan.

If SLR releases uncensored JVR content to the world outside of Japan, it gains them nothing. The people who would sign up for SLR because of that content are already signed up for SLR, so they don't gain anything from the investment.

BUT if SLR releases censored JVR content to Japan (+ the rest of the world because they can), they gain a new foothold in one of the the largest adult film markets that exists.

If SLR tried to play both sides by releasing censored content in Japan and the same content uncensored in the rest of the world, a bunch of negative things could happen. They could be fined by the Japanese gov't for whatever arbitrary reason, but more importantly the JVR stars would never shoot with them again, since the stars themselves would be blacklisted in the JVR market for releasing uncensored porn, which again would basically ruin SLR's investment trying to get into the Japanese market. And JVR is all about the big names, just like the rest of the world.

Or so I imagine.

justsomedude101 literally the largest single adult film market in the world: Japan.

I highly doubt that tbh.

LordCrash it's not illegal, but you would need the permission of the copyright owner, and 1) they are unlikely to give permission because that would be seen as ripping of their Japanese user base and 2) if they did give permission, there would be no point since they could just give you the original files.

But creating such a tool and releasing it is perfectly legal, and it would be legal to run that tool on your own legally acquired videos.

LordCrash I highly doubt that tbh.

It's true.

justsomedude101 but the JAV stars do have uncensored content available on pornhub - so I am not sure they would be blacklisted

Philip we do need Unity developers! But any creative and driven skilled people are welcome, my email is above

Dropped you an email

argyle43 You should check out Minami Aizawa

She's the current cutie at Ideapocket and has got a similar body and looks as Rio.

Philip I could reverse it, but I won't because it's illegal

Just curious. Did you mean that you indeed have the ability to develop an AI that could reverse censoring without access to the original uncensored videos. Or you could reverse it just because you already have the original uncensored files?

wmfewmgkqoozlnzmnn Believe he was saying that the AI censoring SLR has been working on can have that censoring reversed. Like an on/off switch, though as mentioned before it will always need to stay "on" and censored for a bunch of legal reasons.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. So it is indeed technically possible. That's good to know.

I found this paragraph encouraging:

It’s worth noting that the legal problems the man faces don’t seem to include any for the actual video editing itself, only the acts of distributing and selling them, and had he kept the private part-showing videos he created private, he probably could have avoided any trouble with the law.

So even though the studios/platforms could not do it, the users could probably still do it legally by themselves if they have the knowledge

sickpuppies I'm with you, but the censorship - especially when loosely done - does make it hard to fully see the model's faces during blow jobs. Hopefully the AI will allow the censorship to be reliably as minimal as Japanese law allows.

dellicious If you haven't already, check out the portion of the linked demo in the original post from like 36-46 seconds. Good idea of how fine-tuned the censoring can be when it comes to blowjobs.

It’s so strange how Japan has some of the most fucked up porn in the world, literally anything goes, but the performers privates have to be pixelated as they are deemed offensive. It’s totally ok to see a girl throwing up a ton of puke into another girl’s mouth but make sure their vaginas are pixelated! It’s nuts.

petermc I have no idea where you're at but here in the US it's not much better. Can show people being shot/stabbed/blown up/etc. on primetime TV, but show a woman's nipple and you'll pay millions in indecency fines

Not to say I don't agree with censorship in Japan being silly.
