It should be no secret that the idealized vision of the financially conservative, socially Libertarian, anti-Globalist, populist Right that is currently enjoying a brief ascendancy was brought about by a wave of young, Internet-savvy independents swinging to the Right since 2014. You saw them everywhere on social media before the vast purges began. For the sake of brevity, let's call them "the Anime Right."
Contrasted against them are the "Tradcon Right." These are the financially insolvent, socially oppressive, globalist powermongering boomers who have dominated the establishment Right for at least the past half century, as well as a smaller but loud swell of ambitious newfags who want to emulate them because the libertarian populism part won't make you a billionaire or get you fawned over on Fox News.
All of the good things coming about in western society today as the result of the Anime Right rising for the past yet years, and merging with the establishment Right, and doing so with enough numbers and energy so as to overpower the Tradcons. The latter have lost footing in every single area of cultural and political action except for the tiny hats, and even that, impossibly, is beginning to be discussed somewhat openly if still in hushed tones.
They tried demoralizing the shit out of us, beginning with an event called #GamerGate, to get us to fall in line and it only made us angrier and more determined Now years later, what do we see? The age-old tactic of salami fighting, and loli art is the bait. What is salami fighting? Its a tactic taught in some martial arts as a way to deal with an opponent who outnumbers you. tl;dr is, you run and let them chase. Because people naturally have different body builds and running speeds and endurance, by stringing the enemy along using bait (in this case yourself) the enemy naturally stretches out into a thin line from fastest to slowest. Then you turn around suddenly and try to pull a quick takedown on the first person behind you before the second catches up. Then you repeat with the second person, and the third. It's like slicing a salami. You can't beat the whole thing, so you trick it into spreading itself thin and then you take out its pieces one by one in the order of lowest hanging fruit.
In this case its because the new Right is, well, new. It has fragility. Fault lines. Points of disagreement that are less important than the overall cause, but ripe to be exploited to cause fracturing if the enemy can just find the right wedge. And you know who the enemy's best allies are for this? The Tradcons who want control and power back.
I warned this very forum about this shit a year or more ago. The Left and their political cuck allies are desperate to shut down the Anime Right. To splinter it off, or more accurate force it to be ejected from the new Right coalition.

Do you want the people making the Right wing a viable, populist alternative to the Globohomo Left to pack up our shit and go home? Because moralfag crusading of fictional works of any fucking kind is how you're gonna do it. AND THE ENEMY FUCKING KNOWS THIS. STOP. HELPING. THEM.
You want the 4chans and 8chans and regular fucking memelord degenerate nerds of the world on your side through all of this bloody bullshit fighting? Because people that like are how you ever got this far. Then leave the fucking anime, the fucking videogames, and the fucking lolis alone. You are directly in the process of taking the first steps down the path that made our enemies our enemies in the first fucking place. You think somebody's ideas are "icky" and you want government power to destroy expressions of it, and in a vacuum where no one and nothing is being harmed by it except your personal , highly egotistical sensibilities. We're not talking Drag Queen Story Hour corrupting real kids here, you disingenuous fuckers. We're talking about art that you can look up on Google for twenty fucking years.
I've said a few times that the entire purpose of this has nothing to do with protecting children, or any noble pursuit.
Its entirely to give the Left and the elite complete dominance over your escapism. Anime as a whole is outside their complete strangehold on propagandizing us through media, and loli is the foot in the door to start to control it. Because like 80% of anime/manga involves high school and it'll soon be all considered "loli" the same way the word "pedo" now involves everyone just under 18 (with push by many women to make it any girl under fucking 25).
Podesta won't get arrested for having legitimately made child porn art in his house. None of his friends would even get talked to about this law. A bunch of creepy nerds might get arrested and sent to die in prison to make it look legitimate, but the entire purpose is to start removing Japanese media from American consumption because they didn't bend the knee when the Woke tried to cancel them.
I might support the Texas bill more, if it didn't lazily fall back on the ol' word "obscenity" as its main crux for determining what is and isn't bad. Which is not only so broadly subjective that it can be abused easily, it was also already found by the SCOTUS to be an infringement of the First Amendment and too vague to be useful as a law. And they just hope people will be too embarrassed to push it that far up again.
Have you read the bill? It references existing law on how the image has to be depicting an actual real child or very similar. This is literally a psyop
The "very similar" you just said is why I don't trust it. Anything but a hardline definition is a problem because I can see the rabid folks all around already trying to define anyone under 5'6 or with small enough boobs in real life as "basically pedophilia." Let alone just saying "all anime is lolicon" which is a very common belief already.
Especially as, we are two months into Trump with activist judges happily just interpreting the law however they want just to destroy people that they want hurt almost every week. So even more so right now do I not want something so vague as an option on the books.
