Seemingly irrelevant paragraph

The third paragraph of the quoted content seems disjointed from the text before and after:

AV director "Tarzan" Yagi says that a successful AV actress should fit a stereotype that "can be identified at a glance, making it easier for viewers to recognize the type they prefer." Yagi mentions "the 'slender' type, 'Lolita' type, 'buxom' type and so on."

Some AV idols have garnered a substantial following outside Japan, resulting in some of their content being subtitled into other languages.

In June 2008, a bill that proposed the imposition of a ban on child-pornography possession was submitted to the House of Representatives of Japan where it was brought before the Diet in September, but failed to pass. On 15 July 2014, penalties were added to the simple possession of child pornography as a result of the revision of the law.

Could someone familiar with the topic edit into the article why it's relevant to the subject matter, especially in the Types section? -- kazerniel (talk | contribs) 02:44, 31 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

I removed the paragraphs that aren't about AV types, and I agree that the 3rd paragraph isn't related to the topic. Production of child pornography was already illegal, and AV idols sound like they're part of the above-board porn industry. Leangle30 (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
