I lowkey wanna know what drawings would trigger the rest of the world, like Brazilian or Indian twitter.
Brazilians: Conflate Brazil with Latin America. Especially if you give a Brazilian character a Spanish accent. ESPECIALLY if you make them speak Spanish.
Much less of "triggering Japanese twitter" but rather "paint a target on your forehead for Cygames to (potentially) shoot" considering anything on or above rating:q here would violate Cygames' official guidelines... And keep in mind both the guideline and Cygames are Japanese...
The Umapyoi Police was kinda a thing back then, right? Rabid fans who dox and harass people who post Umamusume lewds, I mean. Though they don't usually go after non-Japanese artists. And they aren't much active these days anyway.

That hasn't actually stopped anyone, the material is just really rare since the Yakuza controls the horse racing world and everyone's more scared of them then CYGames being angy and taking their horse girl idols.
Yakuza can't get a foothold into the Japanese horse-racing world these days. Because the Japanese government runs it so messing with it is basically messing with the government's income.
Of course some racehorse owners have alleged Yakuza ties (not open ones, you can get kicked out for even associating a bit too much with Yakuza), but racehorse owners as a whole are scarier than Yakuza anyway.
It's dumb but true. The pinch in particular is so notorious in Korea that games have to have actually make separate art in order not to accidentally offend them.

Yakuza has less and less connection with JRA or NRA since the govt basically has a chokehold on it. It's the owners that Cygames are more afraid of.

I'm gonna be that guy and nitpick you by saying that the non-JRA races in Japan are organized by the Nnational Association of Racing, not the National Rifle Association.
But yeah Cygames definitely is more afraid of the owners than anything, considering they go out of their way to gain their blessing first and foremost.
If I had a nickel for every time someone posted a manga of Verxina having nightmares about Gentildonna pulling a Narita Top Road on her sisters, I'd have three. Not a whole lot, but still.

As worse as Verxina praying that her trainer won't be "robbed" by Gentildonna.
No, I'm saying it's entertainment catering to that degeneracy not merely they happen to enjoy it. "Hitler liked dogs thus all dogs are bad" is not the argument. "Jewish snuff is made for Hitler" is the point. It's catering and normalization that's the source of the argument. The intent of the entertainment isn't tangentally appealing to awful people, it's directly marketing toward them.
The artists get off on fictional kids, and they're catering to other people who get off on fictional kids. Sure, there may be some true pedophiles and even child rapists who enjoy it, but they're usually a periphery demographic. As long as they're not doing anything harmful to real children or benefiting from the harm of real children, I see no reason to judge them.
One thing I do agree with is that lolicon/shotacon stuff (as in the sexualized stuff, not the sanitized loli/shota-adjacent stuff) should not be normalized. It is inherently an alienating genre and therefore should not be pushed on mainstream audiences. Lolicon/shotacon-free spaces do need to be maintained so typical fans of a franchise can continue to interact with it comfortably. It's harmful to both sides when loli/shota fans spread memes to the general fandom of a mainstream franchise and when anti-loli/shota people invade loli/shota groups to call them degenerates. Good fences make for good neighbors and all that.

If a guy jacks off to a drawing of wolves, does that mean he's not a zoophile?
That's the thing; he is technically a zoophile just as a lolicon or shotacon is technically a pedophile, but the latter term is so strongly associated with criminals like child rapists that a lot of them don't want that label attached to them. They know if you call someone a pedo that others will jump to the worst possible interpretation of what that means.
Frankly, I don't care what someone's attracted to as long as they have the sense and self-control not to act on it in ways harmful to others.
EDIT: Forgot to clarify that my point was that watching two people murder each other on TV is fundamentally different from watching porn. You are, let's say, a more "active" participant in the latter. But thanks to compartmentalization, people can enjoy it without getting the urge to apply for a second job as an ice cream truck driver.
Really good pieces of art inspire conversation, incite arguments, and get people talking. When I first saw this image, I didn't think to myself it would be "good art", but it seems this has really struck a chord with people. What a time to be alive.
