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.
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.
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.
