Most of this thread is defending csam, which loli definitely is. WTF. Disgusting community.
I think you're confused. No one is defending CSAM. Lolicon isn't CSAM. Also I don't understand why we would spend effort protecting digital children instead of protecting real ones.
Nobody is protecting digital children and it's almost always disingenuous when this argument is claimed to be made. The effort is to stop the normalization of the sexualization children. Lolicon is exclusively about romancing or sexualizing children. Deluded adults who think what happens in lolicon material is ok are potential risks to real children. Allowing such a risk to children for the pleasure of these adult is absurd.
Fair enough. Imo lolicon is disgusting. And Im not making an argument in bad faith, I just see how much general society fails at protecting children and would rather see any effort spent towards cracking down on lolicon to be used to help real children.
I understand what you're saying, but the fighting against Lolicon doesn't necessarily take away from the fight against real CSAM. The reality is serious, far-reaching, and, ultimately, human issues like the exploitation of children are complex and require effort on multiple fronts to be effective.
So by that logic why didn't all of us that grew up playing COD "normalize" walking around shooting everybod?, that stupid claim used to be made all the time. I've yet to me a serial killer that blamed video games.
Nobody has done that, you can't redefine CSAM to mean what you want it to. Funny how people only label people as "disgusting" when they're being driven by false emotion and not logical thinking
ITT: so many pedophiles
There very well could be, I'm sure there's no shortage of them that will never be found out, and I'm sure that number is petrifying. BUT, that still doesn't rationalize people trying to redefine words so that they can make things mean what they want to fit a context that isn't there, simply to suit their needs. Just like free speech, you have to take the good with the bad.
Pedo's are wired wrong, theres something literally wrong with them, nobody would chose to be that, thinking otherwise is no different than people thinking you can "re-educate" gay people into being straight. Simply not gonna happen. If some basement dwelling pedo gets off on some cartoon and that keeps them functioning normal in society, while no children in real life are harmed, good luck arguing against that. Only a person ignorant to reality tries to make the reverse argument that doing so so how condones pedophilia. NOBODY other than other pedo's are ok with how they are.
