Reading the comments of the people who want it suppressed and didn’t get mass downvoted, I ran into something common:
They want it banned because they believe that the society that they want is completely incompatible with that content existing, or that banning said content is completely consistent with 1A because the US existed for almost 200 years without such content (porn in general, lolisho really only got over here because of anime becoming a sensation) being mass distributed throughout the country.
Going back to lolisho specifically, there’s no way to get around the fact that sexual lolisho art depicts children in sexual situations, and I personally don’t believe that anime looking like it does matters, because that’s still a human out there, so the reaction to it is gonna be what it is regardless. The discussion tends to be a lot more…focused and less calling people authoritarians and pedos when we actually address the elephant in the room, so I might as well do it in the main post instead of a comment.
I’m just a college student that’s not that well informed on why this is being used as a canary in the coalmine, but I’ll let y’all have at it.
Continually engaging in a behavior creates dopamine reward pathways in the brain. Reinforcing those pathways creates a thought funnel that shapes behavior. For vidya addicts, we get happy chemicals from +1s and level-up chimes. For stoners, the stench of skunk puts a smile on their face, even if it's actual roadkill.
If you degenerates (you know who you are) continually jerk it to fictional children, you're going to suffer intrusive thoughts where actual children trigger the same nerves, and at that point, you're going to need a field expedient lobotomy to fix the problem.
What's fascinating to me is we have seen, on this very board, pro-loli advocates decry the rise of incest/step-cest porn, despite it also being (in all accessible forms) fictional.
I don't want people to need a new hole in their head, so I advise them to stay off the road to Hell.
I suspect that a number of prominent pro-loli advocates are actually 'vegetarian' pedophiles - like the fictional trope of a vampire who only drinks the blood of the non-sentient. They feel that without their substitute, they'll end up doing actual harm to others, not just themselves.
Those people need to stop immediately, seek help, and keep a high-caliber handgun or internal combustion automobile and sealed garage handy in case the detox fails.
Freedom includes freedom to do the wrong thing.
That is why "freedom" is retarded as an ends in itself.
Liberty is the freedom to choose how you go about doing the right thing. That is the correct goal.
Good line. Strong rhetoric in this post.
