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.
Firstly, you didn't address any of my points. Secondly, as I've said repeatedly, the left still controls everything. If you want to go totalitarian, can you fucking please at least wait until you take over everything first?! That's my big issue; this is counterproductive.
If you want to be authoritarian, there's a right way to do it, and a correct order in which to do it. Doing it out of order just blows up in your face. Take back the culture, take back education, then we can talk about whether we should ban "degeneracy" or not. That's my point.
I admit I do have libertarian leanings still, but I try to come at everything from a practical angle, and can have an honest discussion about libertarianism versus authoritarianism, and see the points of the latter too. Again, my point is this seems utterly impractical.
And if you embrace their viewpoint, you'll have no endpoint either. You have to meld both; you have to acknowledge friend-enemy distinction, but you also have to have principles, or you have nothing. You also have to do things in a sensible way, which porn bans at present are absolutely not.
Again, not as long as they control the majority of the institutions. Unless you're in a position to operate the majority of levers of power, you're just giving them more power, even if you believe you're hurting them in the short term.
The majority of the legal system favors the left, despite their disproportionate criminality and harmfulness. Why the fuck would you want to write more laws chipping away at certain rights, while they still maintain power?
That sounds even gayer than arguing over a public forum, I'll have to decline.
The end point is normalcy where gay commie subversion is recognized, disregarded, and the people who are engaging in it are exiled.
What exactly are you afraid of them doing that they aren't doing now?
How do you figure? Just because you say so, doesn't make it so.
For starters, doing away with nice things like the First and Second Amendments, if we continue helping them along the path. They're fucking terrible already, but could be so much worse. For all the faults of the current system...we could easily fuck things up much harder, and hand even more power to them.
If the end point isn't normalcy, then what is it?
Also there is no meaningful "first amendment" anymore if you aren't a gay commie.
People have been arrested for memes, many people have gotten fired, lost their bank accounts, some have been put on the no-fly list. Not for any ACTIONS but because of WORDS.
You are living in a world of high-minded when reality is completely different than the fantasy world you are advocating for.
