I'd wager for every cop that is smartly bulking for advantage there is another fat guy who just claims that to be the case.
Unless you are instantly full body slamming them and then sitting on top, you still need some amount of dexterity and range of motion to remain capable in physical altercations. Especially in terms of maintaining your balance.
That's why boxing isn't dominated by obese guys just showing up either.
Their spin is getting weaker because they haven't been able to deny you as much information. Trump is pretty smartly playing the media to get them to frothing rage admit to all sorts of useful things that benefit his agenda, like Canada's already existing tariffs on us.
Notice she doesn't say fighting at all, they are coordinating to "sort things out." Its a Lysistrata gambit where they intend the nag and deny sex long enough to force men to do their bidding. Like an HR department but for the world. The "combat trousers" are just her falling back to old feminist talking points about putting on pants to be seen as tough and independent.
Its almost a perfect example of womanspeak and how it misdirects your assumptions to hide how pathetic it really is.
So we've got one counter example of women doing something good, and a pile of examples dating back decades of them fucking it up royally to the point where most modern ills can be blamed on women being allowed to vote in the West.
That's a real woman way of looking at things. This random exception exists, so that means everything else is invalid.
I'm sure it'll easily follow suit in the EU after, but I think it can also be the wedge that divides us from them harder and helps detangle that codependency with them that drags us down.
That's probably too optimistic though, because it would require a Trump level president for the next election or two to make sure we don't cuck out before they implode.
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.
anime is not crucial to the right-wing worldview
Having an outlet of media outside the Left-wing stranglehold on the Left to serve as a comparison about how pozzed it is has no effect on the Right-wing and pushing people towards it or preventing them from falling for the propaganda
Its like you people don't even think past your own noses. No its not crucial, but its beneficial even if the most pathetic of our society get lost in it.
Its the biggest, almost only, English anime site. With contracts with the Japanese companies to do simultaneous subs for releasing episodes instantly as their air in Japan and having a legal backlog of basically everything.
But, it got its start as any other pirated anime site for people to upload their own subbed episodes to. Pretty bad quality, but they clearly had decent infrastructure because even then they had everything, which is what allowed them to grow and go legit some years later.
But at that time, they basically let you have a social media profile with your account that was literally just Myspace (this was pre-Facebook going big). So you had a lot of young, antisocial weebs all gathered in one place on a social media just for them. I know, I was there. And, much like discord is now, it was filled with grooming, sexual stuff, and all kinds of degeneracy.
As the other guy said, most of them are too normie to actually know a thing about it to know the word "loli", but they are absolutely anti-anime as a whole because they think its all pedostuff. A full baby with the bathwater situation, and the reason why so many of us oppose trusting these bills wholesale.
Most of the crusader level ones are either Leftist or just make that their only political belief, screaming about it.
My point, as illustrated in my first response to him, isn't that I believe there is no difference. Its that the difference is meaningless to the people who push these kinds of laws, and that they and the law will err on the side of "its all bad."
I know the difference between a small chested woman and a child, but for some reason Australia said there wasn't one. You can tell something like Uzaki is clearly just a short college girl, but we had a mass kerfluffle that she was clearly a loli.
Also, I'd wager topless natives are not as common as they once were in those magazines and those specific magazines are for sure no longer allowed in schools because of the same issue I'm talking about. People changed the culture by expanding what they found offensive, and now we do not have nuance. Its all evil and bad to them.
consume loli
Consume it how? This may seem pedantic but its a very important question.
Consume actual pornographic images of girls drawn to look young? Consume content with loli characters in it that isn't meant to be pornographic in any way? Consume anime at all?
Because the big deceit here is that most of the people here arguing in favor of banning are only looking at that first category (the one of obvious pedos) while the people actually writing the laws and screaming the loudest about this make no distinction between the first and the second/third.
Something dumb and milquetoast like Ichigo Mashimaro is filled with loli characters, but has no sexual elements in the slightest. The only difference between it and a Western cartoon centered around little girls is one is anime, which means its now loli specifically and thereby in the same category as hardcore pornography for people discussing this.
These little minute details are meaningless squabbling when its just a conversation, but once you enter the realm of legally binding they become the difference between a dude with weird hobbies and a felony sex offender.
no one's jerking off to it.
Lol, lmao even.
So we can have 13 year old prepubsecent boys be fulled naked on screen, as long as everyone pinky promises to never ever jerk off to it?
Got it, I see we are working with a very well defined and strict set of principles that will work very well when turned into laws that define our land.
Unfortunately for this line of thinking, a lot of the internet's anti-loli crusaders have been busted for either consuming it themselves or being involved in worse sexual degeneracy. Dr. Pizza was just the most famous one, but it happens a lot. Which means, by their own logic, they are either massive hypocrites or actual pedos.
It doesn't mean anyone against it is a secret pedo, the same way all anti-gay people aren't secretly gay because a few big names got caught fucking dudes, but there is a trend of the loudest names being duplicitous on this front.
Any anime girl that isn't drawn with visible aging marks like wrinkles or the like is loli. That's half the problem.
The same way Americans call lusting after a 17 year old girl pedophilia, the definition stopped making sense when they realized you could just say the magic word and everyone would jump on your side.
She was 16 when introduced in the first chapter, and the first panty joke involves Goku pulling off her underwear while she is asleep to feel for her balls, followed by her flashing Roshi the next day her nude lower half with the full ass on display for the audience.
The very first page of the original Dragon Ball manga had Goku's dick front and center as he fished naked. He was 13 at the time.
To act like this wouldn't be called pedo shit and rev up a huge controversy if it was released today is equally insane. That's more than most actual loli focused anime get away with.
Crunchyroll's Myspace ripoff was probably responsible for more underaged kids getting groomed and probably raped than all their shows combined, including the overtly sexual lolishits.
But they've very successfully buried that little piece of their history from most people knowing it existed.
An outlet for people to consume that let's them opt out of the propaganda wing of the Woke Elite that they are using to engineer social change?
Yep, this is totally about protecting children. Not at all just a random cause to let them finally ban Japanese media entirely under "think of the children" moralization.
The problem is, everything you listed after the first is already not only illegal, but so heavily illegal they will send in Swat teams to arrest you for it even if there is no imminent danger to be found.
I'd go so far as to say the amount of detail you went into regarding the same handful of crimes with minor differences shows this isn't nearly as much about justice or protecting innocents, as it is bloodthirst and having a free target to let it out on.
I don't even disagree with you in doing so, but its that exact reaction that The Powers That Be are banking on. You being blinded by indignant rage and righteous anger on a free target that you cut down every law in the land to get the devil. Because those Elites aren't going to be beholden to these laws, Podesta will never get arrested for having wierd child-porn esque art all over. And yet they rape more kids in a single lifetime than a state's worth of common child predators.
DTRH is a true gem of a series, some of his older works are downright the definitive way of learning about an obscure topic.
I wish he still did more of it, instead of treating it as secondary to being a wierd furry/yaoi vtuber.
It wasn't a message board, it was a full scale social media clone.
And it wouldn't have been avoided by anything really, but its a case of glass houses with Crunchyroll themselves throwing a lot of stones.
