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.
Arguably worse in some ways. As I mentioned in my other posts, the right are being authoritarians on the issue...while the left still hold all institutional power.
This will backfire massively, this is certain segments of the right being absolutely retarded and handing power not to "good Christian conservatives," but essentially to leftists who hate us, since they're setting precedent but don't control the narrative or institutions.
At least what the left are doing is largely inline with their goals. What the right is doing is attempting to fight for their beliefs but just helping the left further.
I get what you're saying, but I think they do honestly dislike loli, and I get why. Although for me the issue is whether or not real children are hurt, I can see why people coming from a different angle link it to CP, the latter of which is very obviously bad.
Fair enough, though. They're certainly picking a stupid fight, and demanding everyone bow to them or else admit their moral inferiority. Pretty annoying - and counterproductive - stuff.
