Yeah, but they always start by saying "We'll only ban lolis and underage content." Then when they realize how it's impossible to make objective decisions on what does and doesn't count as loli, they then go and say "No NSFW content at all." Then they start targeting mainstream anime. It's the same story every time.
This is why lolis are the litmus test of who has principles and who doesn't. There are so many fair weather free speech advocates who reveal themselves to be something else entirely whenever the topic arises.

Yup, as someone who hates the extremes on both ends, and think the obsessively pro and obsessively anti loli crowd are both highly suspect lunatics...I always come at it from a logical perspective; it's drawn stuff. As long is no real children are involved, I don't care.
The idea that it should be illegal is absurd (and also hilarious!)
It would be like the Australia porn model, but for art. If I'm drawing a character, am I mandated by law to make sure the boobs are big enough (based?), or what? If I put pencil to paper, and draw the wrong thing, that's criminal?
Loli shit is gross. But, phrased like the above...how is it also not protected expression, art, speech, whatever you want to call it?
I really hate the discussion too because, as mentioned, the fringes from both ends are obsessive weirdos who will bite your head off if you're not totally for or totally against lolis, depending on side. Nah, miss me with that; it's gross, not my thing, but as long as real kids aren't being hurt, don't care.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if I get a scathing response or two for this measured take...and it could be all from one side, all from the other, or a mix. I'm a disgusting degenerate for not wanting it banned...or a censorious conservative for not liking it. Heh.
As a right leaning person who doesn’t like anime(because I’m not gay) I think it should be attacked and the right leaning viewers should be told their losers and weirdos. This will only strength the right.
First they come for the lolicons. Then they come for all hentai. Finally they come for all anime.
Not even. Fanservice. Netflix - who they're targeting - doesn't stream hentai.
