Question of the day, are you a pedo if it's anime?
Literally anyone at all has as much chance as getting to Mars with Elon Musk as heaven's gate cult members did getting to heaven on a space ship chasing Hale-Bopp.
"Take us to Mars"? Are there really people out there who think they personally are going to benefit from this groyper chud's bottomless piggy bank and ketamine addiction?
Can't wait to get a seat in one of those huge rockets that explode / burning and fail constantly while flying to low earth orbit. I mean for Mars it only takes like 10 of them to make a super complicated refill maneuver in space, then half a year travel to Mars and then vertical landing on Mars. What could possibly go wrong?
None that have any grasp of spaceflight… aka have played Kerbal Space Program.
us humankind
that said, it's an x user, so who knows what they meant
Umm akshually she's a five thousand year old dragon
The definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction towards children. So if the anime characters are all clearly representing children, then sure, why not count that.
The thing is, there is a lot of art that is kind of vague on age. The loli girl stuff creeps me out. But the older teenager / young adult anime/art feels a little more like general human brain. Especially if the user isn't trying to seek it out. No one is perfect.
But in this case obviously sexualizing something that looks like a child is creepy. Elon's age is not helping him either...
"But she's really a 120 year old vampire so it doesn't count, you just don't understand bro"
Guy who consumes that kind of thing and occasionally draws it here. I'm not attracted to real children, and in fact I left Twitter due to it became infested with (real) CSAM. "Pedojacketing" everyone who likes anything that could be remotely called a "child" isn't a product of "the new web" (4chan lingo for internet when mainstream platforms started to ban racists), and is quite old in fact, but it does not help victims or child sexualization. Even if you really don't like this thing, and a "real old internet guy" (read: browsed 4chan and YouTube since 2012) wanted to gatekeep his "formerly niche" fandoms from tourists (read: anyone who's not white and cishet), then tried to smear you for the sin of not knowing the origin of some joke that originated from a loli doujinshi.
What do you think it's going to be like at mars?
Just a few white bois masturbating to their anime pr0n cache while slowly starving to death.
You want that?
Also you know he's never put any time into developing any coping strategies for dealing with mean comments, so people should keep em coming
Gosh, never seen this debate come up on the fucking worst parts of the internet before, totally new one. Can't wait for all the fresh and original takes.
In before "Ephebophile" gets thrown around and used as some kind of moral high ground.
I'm pretty sure that some stand up comedian made the joke that if you know the exact terms for different ages, you should already be locked up
Oddly, I haven't witnessed such a debate. I guess I stay out of the worst parts of the internet. But I was on reddit...
Yeah it's a 4chan level argument
Harkness Rules.
And if she's choosing to appear as a kid to lure pedos in so she can kill them with fire and eat their ashes, more power to her. Like Chris Hansen but with a hell of a lot more time on her hands.
Yes.
to put it simply: yes
and to elaborate: absolutely
My take is if the assets are those of a fully developed women with a young looking fade or a "story" that she is young, I am a little less concerned, but if the anime girl is like pre adolescent, then that is a serious problem. My logic is that fully developed women with very young faces are, the vast majority of the time not minors. But if you take away the adult development, then nearly all of the real world examples are minors. And that there is time for some serious ass whoopin.
I myself don't like anime mainly because they are trying to blur the line a lot (and sometimes just flat put crossing it). I don't need that in my life.
It depends if the characters are Lolis and you Simp for the Loli characters.
But for Ani Over here, Yes.
What really bothers me about anime is when there's romance with a loli 300 year old vampire.
I don't give a shit if she's "300 years old" in context. She looks 12!
You can have you loli vampire/elf/whatever girl just look-no-touch!!
Wait, is pedos beating it to drawn stuff now bad? I guess we should tell them real kids is where its at. /s
Also is it bad if pedos are in denial because they only beat it to drawn stuff? I think id prefer a person self identifying as a lolicon or not? Like i really do not get why people are so adamant on making the group of pedophiles as big as possible.
The issue is- it gives pedophiles an outlet for their fantasies. The only outlet pedophiles need is therapy for non-offenders, and lead aspirin for the offenders.
Being a pedo is a mental condition, just like being gay. You can't really change a sexual attraction that is innate.
Unless there are studies which correlate watching anime underage fantasies to actually acting on them irl, you really don't have a leg to stand on besides it's icky and offensive. You may as well preach that killing in video games causes mass shootings...
To be clear, I find it weird af but I am a stark supporter that media censorship if it's not hurting anyone is more abhorrent.
I think the desire to protect kids, which most but not all humans have, wants to include more people in the category of pedophile so they can be sure not to miss any real ones. So I can respect the intent. But I do agree that it gets to be overused a lot. Just like fascist and nazi these days. It kinda cheapens the term for those who truely deserve it. But that is human nature.
That sounds like some creeper shit. And we currently have a problem world wide with fascists. With the said fascists protecting their rich pedo friends.
Exactly, but we spend time calling people pedos amd fascists who haven't done anything instead of dealing with the ones who have. That is the problem I am trying to hilight.
