Not sure why this matters so much to people, shit is creepy as fuck.
Like it or not, criminalizing it is a waste of government resources.
Canary on the coal mine.
First lolis, then anime, regular porn, "hates peach", political opinions, then all that but off-platform too.
patreon proved this when the loli bans became nippophobic, and they enforced feral porn bans in a similar manner against slugbox.
I consider loli to be the canary in the coal mine.
The vast majority of loli bans happen because of entirely moralistic reasoning, without real logical or legal considerations.
In those cases it means you have a group in control willing to make entirely emotional and hypocritical judgments on content. If you applied their reasoning to other content you'd also have to ban said content, but almost never is that the case. You should then understand that NOTHING is safe. Your speech will ultimately be restricted in some capacity because the precedent has been set.
We could say the same about your one man obsessive crusade on feminists too.
Ask yourself how many areas of their supremacy started with "one little thing no one cared about" to open the door to the monstrous things they have now.
Except they have genuinely evil motives and cause very obvious damage to both society and male individuals.
Banning weird pedo-type shit that nobody wants to see and gets extremely uncomfortable at the thought of is fair.
Not every site has to have porn at all, much less this kind of thing.
And you think the people who make these laws and pushes don't have evil motives? That they won't cause damage to society and male individuals?
The entire "war on porn" is entirely built on "men use this to subvert women's dominance over their sexual release, therefore it must be stopped." This is just a subset of that larger war. You have shockingly large blindspots in your own zeal to how this war on men works based entirely on personal biases.
If a site doesn't want to have porn for PG reasons, that's entirely fair. Making a political statement on "freedom of speech, except things I find icky" is a different beast and that's where this battle is taking place on these sites. Its challenging that these "free speech" advocates won't back down when its even something horrific and distasteful they have to defend.
The ACLU defended the KKK for the same reasons. Because they understood at the time that compromising your rights for any reason just gets them compromised further.
This isn't like being against Twitter and Facebook blocking Hunter Biden info. It's a weird crusade for something that nobody wants to see because of some weird purity spiral.
Nobody's disputing that banning porn entirely from the internet (unless you pay your tithe to your new gods...sorry I mean unless you pay for OF..) is an obvious feminist ploy. But that doesn't mean every site has to have porn and it doesn't mean that every site that has porn has to include all types of it.
principles are important but this isn't the hill to die on
just accept that there isn't a rational discussion to be had about the subject, add an implied "except child porn and stuff that is sort of like child porn" exception to everything, and fight for the stuff that isn't edging up to the line
Yeah. Don't fight for free speech if you don't like it. Just let the line get redrawn time and time again until it's something you care about. Then watch at that something gets censored too, because free speech isn't an argument against the censorship anymore. It hasn't mattered before, why whould it now, suddenly? Because you care about [topic]? Get real.
I expect your guns on my desk in the morning then. Because there isn't rational discussion to be had on that hill either, and that one actually does hurt real people instead of made up flat fiction.
Just keep compromising every time, it certainly worked so well for all our gun laws didn't it?
