It's the damn first time I've ever been glad of the western hostility toward Japanese ACG culture.

I wouldn't be so sure, Japan caved in for TPP after all. There is some talk in their government to increase censorship no? When money is involved, you can't trust people, especially with Japan's sky high debt. The fact that some merchant is trying to "survey the market" on this Wikia should sound the alarm already. Who knows what kind of backroom deal/underhand tactics they are trying to pull. Gee, you think they'll pressure DMM to license a Western Kancolle spinoff to an American game company and force all foreigners to go there? Non-American gamers, especially the Chinese and Taiwanese players definitely won't stand for that. If they can convince DMM that Americans can pay more then Chinese/Taiwanese, it might just make DMM reconsider. That is the thing about money.

@Vcharng Yes, I do worry about that. And I never heard about Ishihara, but his case alrealdy shows that politicians are willing to bite at the hand that feeds them.
