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.
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.
