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.
Want to talk about banning? We should ban discussion of it on this board.
It is just a grenade that gets rolled into right-leaning communities to split the lolberts away from the Christians and traditionalists and to make us look retarded to any new person who happens to come by.
No, you guys are doing that all by yourself with the fact that you seem to almost gleefully resort to authoritarian solutions to almost every problem in existence which makes you just as bad as the leftists which is why anybody who cares about freedom of speech and expression want nothing to do with you.
Also why I'm not getting my hopes up for 2024. By the way, I sometimes find it very curious that every time there's a discussion about loli on this site. The right wingers almost always make it about porn in general, which is why I'm so suspicious of peoples' intentions and view that in of itself a slippery slope. I think that right wingers are trying to use loli as a gateway to banning all porn in general which is why I resist them and I see the sneaky infiltration they're pulling, these are not average users, they're activists.
Again though, I've pointed out that I'm in favour of accelerationism, I partly want to see the right get exactly what they want so that they're the ones next who have to explain why nothing they've proposed works. This attitude of "Let's ban anything that causes an argument" yeah, doesn't fucking work and it just makes people who had nothing to do with it resent the fuck out of you and not want to hang out. Take that from somebody who's been through this before with people who thought banning certain discussion was the right thing to do.
To be frank as well, the loli discussion isn't so much as a discussion as much as it is right wingers trying to gang up on everybody else who even slightly disagree with them and call them paedophiles without due cause until they get fed up. Problem is people aren't taking the bait so they're getting increasingly screechy. If anyone deserves a ban it's those libellous arseholes that are doing it and actually mean it, that's something I have a major problem with and seems to be a tactic.
Unless you are a retarded anarchist you realize every aspect of civilization from property rights to self defense requires exercise of authority.
The question that people who aren't retarded argue of is in what situations that exercise is proper.
Authoritarian != totalitarian. Gay commies are totalitarian, actual strong civilization is authoritarian.
Authoritarianism and exercise of authority are two different things, if you don't understand that you're the retard that doesn't even understand your own philosophy, don't feel bad though, a lot of people don't.
The people who don't like the person exercising the authority will always call it "authoritarianism". There is no point in running away from that label, it just paralyzes you, which is what the gay commies rely on.
But lets pretend you know what you are talking out. Why don't you explain for the class what you think the difference between authority and authoritarianism, and also what the difference is between authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
Looking forward to your failure of a reply.
