Needed to make this a main post for the sake of visibility, but in general, I think reset the clock did a lot more damage than help, because of the fact that people believe that the only reason you could ever be against a certain thing, is because you’re engaging in it yourself, when we know for a fact that isn’t the case.
To be specific, it is very much possible to be against loli/shota porn and not be an IRL predator. People like Ableist forget that, while I’m not against it existing per se, I understand why certain places would ban it altogether, and I would actually like for Ableist or anyone else to actually post the specific places where “governments ban loli/shota porn and waste police resources” where people have actually been arrested for the sole possession of that fictional content, because as much as you say that, I’ve never seen it. Unless that’s like a European thing, I’ve generally never heard of that before.
I just don’t get why some people don’t understand why the average person thinks that someone who jerks off to loli/shota porn isn’t right in the head.
I second this attitude. I think there are too many people wanting things set based on their personal preference rather than just saying “this isn’t for me” and moving on. Obviously, it is different on real people, but much like you I am very much anything goes on drawn or written work.
To go with my own example, I am not generally a fan of skimpy outfit looks. I find chainmail bikinis to be an active turn-off and consider looks like this to be vastly more appealing to me in terms of turn-ons. I am not going to demand everything meet my standard, and I am not going to say someone is a perv if they like the chainmail bikini look.
