Fair use rationale for Image:Papatokissinthedark.jpg[edit]

Image:Papatokissinthedark.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shota-con tag[edit]

Kay, I just edited the genre tag. From Yaoi to Shota-con. It's quite obvious that it falls under the category of Shota-con, not yaoi.

The main character Mira. Is only 15. The secondary character, his uncle, Kyosuke, is 27.

There's a huge age difference between the two.

<<; Seriously. Leave it how it is. It's not yaoi.

Erm... actually the term is traditionally coined with pre adolesent boys, although being the age of 15, one year lower than a wide age of consent in most of the world then I suppose you could call it "shotacon" but of course what I mentioned first is debatable.

I agree. Mira is not a shota boy. he's above then Japanese age of consent, and while a vulnerable personality, he is also portrayed in a rather adult way, like how he makes dinner for Kyousuke, and wants him to call, worries about his fidelity, etc. While this titale may be more than a little risque to Western viewers, I think it's very much more YAOI than shota.

15 is a very common age for the subjects in all types of hentai material in Japan. Shota refers to pre-adolescent children. -- AvatarMN (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
