  • SLR's deep learning model for an automated Japanese censoring

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.

                Philip how do you upload to that gif site, everytime I try it does nothing. 🤷‍♂️

                    Good news, now the other way around... Japanese girls at SLR Originals... 🙂

                    I'm curious, what is this committee?

                        What's the point of censoring a US porn scene that is easily accessible in its original, uncensored form to all Japanese users by simply using a VPN?

                            LordCrash A whole bunch of reasons I would assume: being able to advertise in ways and places that would not necessarily be legal if you're promoting uncensored content, being able to market to a substantially larger user base who has already lived with and grown accustomed to censored content, not limiting yourself to only users who will want to jump through the extra hoops to use a VPN and hope their payments will be accepted by payment brokers outside the country (and who would already be doing that anyway), to not do something of questionable legality (in Japan) or anger anyone who might otherwise be able to put a stop to any long-term plans to produce SLR JAV, to massively increase the video quantity available on the .jp site and be far more competitive in a market primarily centered on PPV scenes, etc.

                            If anything I'm hoping that this will put the pressure on more JAV VR studios to upgrade their mostly-ancient rigs. I can usually look past the censorship/pixilation myself, but I can't really look past the 4k visuals that look straight out of 2019.

                              Good to see things are moving forward with this, hopefully it means scenes with Japanese talent are coming at some point

                              LordCrash So much for being a contract if they can be unconditionally cancelled. We need a plan for the releases that several months after being released ... all of a sudden "cannot be released," then taken down for compliance. If it takes 4 months for a film to release, it should take 4 months for a film to be unreleased. SLR's one-day-after-the-fact notice is not enough.

                              To any admin, I hope you can start a dedicated thread for studios/videos that are on the chopping block (or formally under review) that gives us ample time to stream or download because I sure miss that beach scene from VRGoddess that I never got to see. 😔 It will forever haunt me everytime something like this comes up. For all we know this could be the tip of the iceberg and the doomed failing of JAV VR porn on this site, one niche at a time. Next thing you know PlushiesVR is under review for depictions of bestiality.
