Okay, try this. From a strictly biological stand point, there is nothing wrong with a young teen engaging in intercourse and conceiving a child. In fact as women age they have fewer eggs and a higher likely-hood of birth defects like Downs. But when you throw in morals, we get all squeamish because young teens are still considered children themselves.
The reason child porn is illegal is morals. The vast majority find it objectionable, so laws were passed to make it unacceptable by social standards. Basically, child porn is illegal because enough people find it offensive. So why can't the same thing happen to Yoai? There are certainly plenty of people who find it offensive.
My point being, one form of censorship inevitably opens the way to other forms. It sets a president.
