Even though I don’t 100% agree with the defederation, it’s a bit alarming how quick commenters are to chastise their decision. Why risk being federated with a community that will allow or seek “childlike” NSFW content? That’s just asking for trouble, so I can understand why an instance would avoid being associate with that. That’s a huge risk for someone hosting a fairly large instance, especially with the criticism and accusations the LGBTQ+ community has been subject to recently
Exactly this. Right wing propaganda already portrays the LGBTQ+ community as child groomers who are sexualizing minors.
Forget gasoline or lighter fluid: allowing federation with "barely 18!" content would throw a whole propane tank on that fire.
Right wing propaganda also portrays Sex Ed as grooming, defends child marriage, and regularly threatens anyone they don't like. Up to and including attempting a coup.
You don't negotiate with terrorists. They won't stop because of it, they just get bolder.
That's just dumb.
Imagine that they want children to be ignorant of themselves more (imo it seems by sex ed, they are learning the concept of consent and so on, please correct me or add more context down below cause I can't fully express this in words), so that people (the adults) can take advantage of that fact (for their disgusting opportunities).
If they have been dumb like this for the past decades, they are enabling/encouraging p3do behavior more among their ranks, then (i.e., disgusting "child abuse rings" on news from time to time).
The community is similar to something like !pretty_women@lemmy.world with full nudity, but without any kind of hardcore pornography.
The only bad thing they did was include "child-like" in the synonyms that describe the theme, which they corrected themselves before blahaj was involved. They have clear content policies, and it's clearly adults in the content posted.
Saying you need to protect yourself from this perverted filth is not really any different from what the right wing is doing to the LGBT community.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pretty_women@lemmy.world
That's an unfortunate exaggeration right? Not wanting to see or deal with communities who feel it's sexually enticing to look at "childlike" and "barely 18" porn is clearly different from wanting gay, trans and queer people to stop existing.
You can go look at the content posted, it's not child like, the community isn't doing anything they shouldn't be doing.
If you can prove the community is breaking any rules/laws, they should be banned, and if you can't, you have to accept them.
You are asking for laws based on what you find morally acceptable, it's a slippery slope, and exactly the same the right wing is doing.
No, I am not. Wth?
Oh no! Barely 18? As in an adult? Adults in porn?! Call the fucking cops. Not like there is a 1000 porn studios with 18 in their name.
And if you're taking action because of how right wing propaganda might misinterpret it to paint you in a bad light, that's just pathetic.
I mean consenting adults having sex? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
Terrible, just terrible, this must be child porn /s
This commenter is weirdly passionate about what kinds of porn Blahaj federates with.
barely 18 is fine with homophobes as long as it's a blond white woman
"recently"...
