Yes, but also no. There really is a subgenre like that over there, which some use as an excuse to go after the rest, even though the vast majority contains no such thing.
Which is why I oppose all of this censorship on GP. This is just an excuse for them to turn anime into the same degenerate propaganda, that most western media is now. They made this painfully obvious when they referred to stuff like "Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!" as CP. Anything with a female character that isn't a troon is heresy to them and it makes leftoids and their masters seethe.
Considering the homie up there immediately went to the "why are you defending sexualizing children" you can see this exact slippery slope excuse play out in real time in this very comment thread.
Because that's how it always goes. First they pass "common sense" parts because nobody likes pedos enough to risk defending them, then the bar for pedo gets lower and lower until any woman under 35 without sagged tits from 3 babies is "pedo shit."
Correct. I've even seen people claim that the main character from Stellar Blade "looks like a child".
Which is how the argument against anime in general always goes. They always "look like children" based on "I know it when I see it" criteria, which means that all of it must be CP and banned.
Same way that all anime is "sexualization." Dumb shit shows like Ichigo Mashimaro are just dumb shows about girls doing funny things, no different than something like Craig of the Creek or various other cartoons. But because its anime is inherently sexual.
And these two things cycle into the true cause, that all anime must be banned.
Which is why I always stand against censorship and why I'm so adamant about it. It's the difference between being principled and being a coward who flees because someone might call them names.
I do. I also stand against shooting children with a gun, but I'm not rushing to ban guns either or even put a law into place trying to restrict them to accomplish such a task.
Its also not Strawman Bullshit when we already have seen things like Australia banning A-cups from appearing to stop pedos. Same with the aforementioned Uzaki manga where an adult college women was protested because she was too short to be an adult.
Are Classical and Renaissance statues and paintings of nude children CP?
I know this sounds like an obvious "no," but there isn't a simple, non-arbitrary criteria for differentiating between loli/shota hentai and legitimate art, for the same reason that there's no simple and non-arbitrary criteria for differentiating between art and porn.
Yes, you can certainly describe what you regard as the relevant differences between porn and art, but there's never gonna be anything even approaching objectivity in that discourse, and policy-making is something you have to be a total autist about or else nefarious actors will take advantage of ambiguity to abuse the rules to their advantage.
But it's not new is it? I wonder what changed...
