Apologies for the lack of links, but this has been squeaking out all over the place. Details can be found on Kiwifarms when its up, and some were posted to 8chan.moe a couple days ago. It's a shitshow.
Soyjak was a /b/-tier shitposting site that had a massive dark side. Despite the site often raiding loli boards on other sites and communities to brand lolicons as "pedophiles", it turns out that the admins of the site were running a sophisticated and secretive grooming operation behind the scenes. They would make kid-friendly memes and offer free Robux to entice kids to the site, where the site admins themselves were spamming CP when traffic was up to desensitize the kids to it. Then some were selected and invited into a grooming Discord, where they were pressured and eventually blackmailed into producing CP and cutting themselves. At least one suicide is confirmed but people who knew about it have claimed there were many more that weren't documented. This all got out because of mod chat leaks by a disgruntled member of the pedo group matched up the admins' IP addresses to ones that were all over the logs for CP spam, and people started digging. Come to find out the owner of the site is a gay man in court for child molestation in Tennessee.
They also had raid groups that used abandoned TF2 chat servers to coordinate attacks on streamers, minor e-celebs, and anyone who threatened to expose the group. They sent CP to peoples work emails disguised as spam so it would go unnoticed, and basically "gang-stalked" targets across the Internet. They wouldn't touch the person but would attack any community the target was in whenever the person went there, to make that community become hostile to the target and isolate them. One bragged about "targeting their mental health directly" with this tactic.
There were minor rumbles about all of this back in April, but apparently enough finally got out that it blew up a few days ago and the owner pulled the plug on the site in a panic. He's trying to sell the domain now. Several people in the chan-o-sphere have been noticing a large rise in secretive IRL pedo activity across swaths of the alt-site Internet over the past year, but this is the latest and loudest exposure of it that I'm aware of. Soyjak had been raiding 8chan off and on for months prior to this, notably with some emphasis targeting the GG threads with soyface.jpg and CP spam. All the while claiming that 2D loli art was what they were protesting against.
I'm beginning to think "don't trust anyone who vocally hates anime lolis, because they're guaranteed to be a fucking pedophile" is becoming an iron law. 8chan GG did a quick tally and there's been over 500 such cases just in the last few years, with the infamous Dr. Pizza being just one tiny but well known example.
Ah yes, the old “people who object to animated child porn are the real pedophiles” gambit. Just like the old “people who object to the degenerate homosexual lifestyle are all closeted homos” chestnut.
Of course pedos try to obscure their perversion and degeneracy by pretending to aggressively oppose child pornography. And of course this would manifest as opposition towards the only moderately socially acceptable form of child porn, which is lolicon.
But this doesn’t excuse lolicon. The vast majority of people are disgusted by both pedophilia and animated depictions of pedophilia. The fact that pedos attack lolicon in order to hide their own sins is immaterial to any discussion about the evils of lolicon.
Two things can be bad at the same time. And just as it is convenient for pedos to point to lolicon say “look at that evil shit”, lolicon enthusiasts are latching on to a convenient narrative that redirects attention away from their own evil.
You degenerates are not mounting any kind of legitimate defense when you say “these pedos lied about hating loli porn, therefore anyone who opposes loli porn is a pedo, therefore loli porn is fine”. Pedos don’t actually hate loli porn, the vast majority of people who oppose loli porn are not pedos, and loli porn isn’t fine.
I've said it before but I feel the anti-loli shit is the wedge on the door they want to use to crack down anime. They'll complain about underage, aka 16-17 anime characters too, then about just any "young looking character", maybe also about extreme content like rape or sexual harrasment.
If you don't believe me there was some aussie politician complainig Harley Quinn was loli
It has been moving this way for a long time. Paying attention to various sites over the years where user-added tags are a critical aspect of how to search and find things has shown a very clear trend of the "loli" tag expanding in scope over time. It used to be just blatantly pre-pubescent girls. Like 12 and under. Now you are liable to see the tag on anything where one could potentially suspect a girl to be under 18.
Loli is absolutely what they want to be the first major domino to get their foot in the door to police anime. It's absolutely reasonable to think its disgusting but anyone letting them take an inch is a fool because there is zero way it stops there.
Fun fact: a lot of those anti lolis have 15 year old anime characters being sexualised in their twitter likes(Usually Marin Kitagawa from the anime my dressup darling). It's not even funny anymore, every single time. If we hold them by their standard they're doing the exact same thing they claim to fight against(which is still retarded but whatever).
Except pedo fags on here defend actual loli porn of characters that are clearly depicted as young children
This is reasonable, as is your close "the vast majority of people who oppose loli porn are not pedos", if by oppose you mean you polled them and they said "yes it should be illegal." But not if you mean setting up "anti-loli brigades" and raiding 4chan boards which this is about. The thing is, how many normal non-pedos have the time or inclination to actively campaign against the stuff when it doesn't involve real children? Unless they are working for the feds or some NGO, I doubt people are going to obscure imageboards to lecture people about the sins of cartoon porn. We would rather avoid those places. So no I don't think it's an understatement to claim "anyone who vocally hates anime lolis... is guaranteed to be a fucking pedophile". If only because normal people don't have time for that shit.
On the other hand normal people bringing up our disgust when the topic arises (as in right now) seems perfectly fine. Claiming "you're anti-loli you must be the real lolicon" is indeed an extreme take, and possibly projection.
To add to that, lolicon bans don't impact the groomer pathway because that's based on identity and sexuality. So it's a safe, no-cost cover for them.
Also the vast majority of people would line up on the anti-loli side, but most of them are effectively neutral because they simply don't know about its existence. Like Tucker Carlson has no idea what a loli is. And why is that? Because loli has no institutional champions and lacks the popular support of other fandom, so it is one of the only true fringe subcultures left.
You're completely fucked in the head because you think there's an equivalence of evil in looking at drawings of imaginary characters and sexually exploiting real, living, thinking, feeling children. You sit there and let that sink in for a second. Take in the scope of that delusion.
If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. You ought to stop, but you get to live.
Child abuse? Jesus Christ himself passed judgement on that one, and his recommendation was you kill yourself because there are worse sins than suicide.
Your inability to say "these two things are bad, but this one is far worse" belies a complete disinterest in moral thought.
Elephants mourn for lost loved ones. Squirrels 'plan' for the future. Dogs dream about chasing prey - they 'practice'. The only human behavior that has no equivalent in the animal kingdom is abstraction.
If you cannot see how desiring childlike appearance and behavior sexually is bad for you and should be abhorred, perhaps you are incapable of that abstract thinking.
Before a monster preys on a child, s/he desires to do so. If you feel even a shadow of that same desire, it is your moral obligation to fight against it, not to exercise it for the brief moment of gratification it brings you, you self-righteous twat.
DRAWINGS ARE NOT CHILDREN. You definitely need Jesus but not in the way you're trying.
Sure, and corpses aren't people. I reserve my right to call necrophiliacs disgusting abominations.
There are phrases for certain personalities - Zealots, Fanatics, Psychopaths.
There is a difference between normal people who simply dislike lolicon vs people who use popular dislike of it to mask their real obsessiveness where they need to periodically conquer and destroy something to feel like they're important. They destroy all the normal people who want to live normal lives, those people find they have to become a fanatic about something in order to stay afloat.
