If all Japanese adult products are censored and therefore not explicit, then why /e/ is separated from /h/?

Some people like to see fucking. They go to /h/
Some people like to see sexy girls in suggestive poses. They like it here.

the easy explanation is /e/ = no penis

A large part of it comes from a (now abolished) law where anything showing pubic hair had to be censored... I guess the rule comes into play for anything uncensored.

Japanese are wicked, they always invent ways to pass over senseless laws... in that sense they're worst than conservative americans
>> Sam and OMG HAX!!
Allow me to put this in the simplest way imaginable.

People are irrational morons.
The Japanese people are people.
Therefore, the Japanese are irrational morons.

Laws don't have to make sense. I mean, they usually don't. Our standards are fucked up to all hell. (Recently turning on Cartoon Network, I saw Naruto, and the scene where Zabuza takes kunai in his mouth, because his arms are dead, and slashes people to pieces while getting stabbed by spears. But the blood was editted out. So, it's okay to show horribly violent acts as long as their natural outcome, bleeding, is not shown? WTF?)

So in summary, Japanese govt. makes dumb laws. Artists find loopholes. Traditions begin.

More like the censorship laws were put in place by the U.S. during the occupation and reconstruction of Japan. And the television censorship you refer to is voluntary as far as I know, as CN's a cable channel.

/e/is separate from /h/ because people were asking for a board they could put non-worksafe pictures that didn't involve fucking. (Previously /c/ wasn't a worksafe board, so those could go there.) Once /e/ opened it became the most popular board at the time outside of /b/, thus it stuck around.

While what you say is true, did the Japanese not have the power to reverse said laws once the U.S. left?

And while, yes, the censorship on CN (or any cable channe) is technically considered voluntary, the FCC does push its powers beyond its boundaries. No law states, as far as I know, from CN running things uncut, but then come the lawsuits and charges (which are a hassle, whether or not they are valid).
