Shimoneta: A boring world where the concept of dirty jokes doesn’t exist

Shimoneta is about Japan in the future where public morality laws have gone to a point where all sexual content and language have been banned for several decades. With the advanced surveillance technology of the peace makers, all citizens are all monitored around the clock, turning everyone into information gatherers for the “PM Force” Aiming to purify society. Thanks to the law of public morals and healthy child raising, Japan now has the healthiest and purest country in the entire world. And here at “Tokyoka Academy” (Japans most elite school for public morality) young men and women learn to keep the word of chastity forward, To a perversion-free tomorrow

In the world of Shimoneta, perverted humour — or anything else deemed sexually perverse — has been banned for years. Pornography has been summarily destroyed and now the entire population of Japan wears collars that report if anyone says anything “naughty.” For artists, it is one step worse: They are forced to wear bracelets that check their hand movements to make sure no lewd images are produced.

Thanks to this, the children of this world have grown up in an environment devoid of even the most minor of sexual content. All they know is that impure things are bad — not that they are even sure what an impure thing would look like.

The public morals lobbyists in Shimoneta have done their job too well. In an attempt to protect their children and society in general, they have created a world where the children are ignorant of the entire concept of perversion. Sex (or “docking” as they call it to avoid the dirty word) is practically a foreign concept. The high schoolers can’t even understand why someone would want to do it — much less exactly how to do it.

Kajo, the student council vice president and secretly the perverted terrorist “Blue Snow.”

In fact, one student spends the entire run of the series pursuing what she believes to be a radical scientific breakthrough: that “docking” and childbirth are related in some way — though she isn’t sure exactly how. It is as funny as it sounds.

The most extreme example of sexual ignorance in the story is Anna — as her mother is the head lobbyist for public morals and has enlisted her daughter as a co-conspirator in her crusade against the perverse.

While Shimoneta is entirely built around mocking the concept of a world free from “the perverted,” it doesn’t advocate sexual anarchy. The back end of the story focuses on the emergence of another terrorist group. Okuma and Kajo’s group, SOX, seeks to educate and show the harmlessness and joy of sexual jokes specifically and porn in general. Their end goal is a return to the way things used to be.

The group they face is simply a group of panty thieves who get off on sniffing used undergarments. These terrorists are simply acting out according to their sexual kinks and undermining everything SOX is trying to accomplish. Thus SOX is forced to stand against them and show the world that they are different — that when it comes down to it, they are freedom fighters, not perverts.

If you were to do Say anything sexual or inappropriate, a swat team would arrest you on the spot, and same goes for the bracelets. If you draw anything sexual or inappropriate, you would be arrested by a swat team.
