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.
People have an emotional response to the topic. They will create explanations backwards from the solution they want to explain and justify anything.
That's why this topic is useless to keep spamming. People who have strong opinions on it won't be moved.
Me attacking loli porn: this shit is degenerate and has no place in a healthy society, so I need an argument to get rid of it
Pedos defending loli porn: I desperately want to fuck children but they will kill me if I try, so I need the release valve of cartoon child porn, and I will protect it by adopting an absolutist position on free speech
Just because we’re all “rationalizing” animals doesn’t mean we’re all the same.
That is what I'm saying.
Ban the topic, it isn't useful to discuss. And ban the people who bring it up, they are either spergs who don't really contribute anything anyway, or are subversives you actively working against the forum.
