I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, “Cunny!” and, “Correction!” so, yeah.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn’t hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn’t even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I’m just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I’ve mad since then received no response.
I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, “I quit!” I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.
And…the pedo defenders are here.
You can play that game all you want, a character that looks 5 and you say is 18+ or 200 years old…is still a fucking 5 year old looking character.
The fuck is wrong with you people.
You guys realize that you’re talking about drawings right? Like, marks on a paper or screen?
Even putting sexuality aside it’s like arguing over how old these “characters” are:
One of them is 5 years old, the other is 500.
But over here in reality, it’s all fictional and doesn’t matter because they’re just a drawing.
Yea cause a drawing of a child that someone sexualizes is totally the same of line drawing…got it…
They’re both just drawings. None of it is real. The only difference is the label.
I fucking hate this argument.
If someone used AI to generate a video of Epstein raping a child, would that be acceptable to you? The video isn’t real either.
I hate to do this, but it’s simple: anything that looks like real children is bad and should never be sexualized.
But anime? Come on. That’s not how people look.
So in your mind someone getting off to a scene depicting something like that is totally fine as long as it doesn’t look exactly like a real child? You realize it is meant to represent a human child, right? Is any sort of stylized drawing fine then because it doesn’t look indistinguishable from a real person? There’s hentai explicitly about minors (like, not even high schoolers, but like fucking middle school and younger…) being raped by old dudes.
Shit like this is why there used to be (and still is, although to a lesser degree) such stigmatization of anime.
No, I care about harming children.
AI needs CSAM to generate it, and it may muddy the water about real victims, that’s why it doesn’t get a pass.
If someone wants to marry a ferris wheel, I don’t care. Inanimate objects, including fucked-up but obviously not real drawings, don’t hurt anyone.
Re: anime - I’ve seen some fucked up shit in ‘normal’ anime, like Bakemonogatari (very young girls in very bad scenes), so I don’t recommend anime in general either. But I do not think it’s a real danger, unlike genAI, eg Grok.
Child porn or adjacent shit in stuff like anime just normalizes it for people. A fucking ferris wheel was never made to represent a person. Just because some delusional person anthropomorphizes it doesn’t mean that’s the purpose behind its creation (and even that had consequences since the priest was forced to resign from the Catholic Church). Hentai + ecchi shit in anime featuring children is explicitly made to be viewed sexually.
No, because fuck AI and burning our future on that shit.
But you’re okay with the content of the video being shared publically, in principle, right?
Hmmm…
I mean, purely on principle? Sure. No one would have been harmed apart from the environmental damage. Once that’s done, nothing will undo that.
Psychological damage purely from exposure and normalization of that kind of content, probably not ideal.
The muddying of the waters around Epstein guilt, also bad. (“That was fake, so any other news must also be fake”).
Apart from the above sorts of things, (but maybe there’s others I didn’t think of off the top of my head): as long as no one watches it, it’s no more harmful than the sentence describing the idea in the first place.
So let’s remove the additional impacts to test the standard. Hypothetically, someone creates a tool that is freely available and has no environmental impacts, doesn’t rely on problematic training data, any of that.
Its free to use for anyone to create and distribute photo-realistic images of what look exactly like 6 year old girls in sexual situations.
You’re okay with this, because it’s not real and it’s just pictures on a screen. Right?
No no they’re not, sounds like you enjoy loli shit as well…
I am absolutely not a pedo defender, there’s a huge difference between being attracted to an 18 year old, who in my and most countries is of legal age, and being a pedo.
The difference apart from being attracted to children, is that at 18 years old, you are considered old enough to make decisions for yourself also called being of legal age.
Having sex with a minor on the other hand is automatically rape, as a minor is NOT considered old enough to make decisions for themselves.
I am disgusted that your post has an upvote. When the persons are above 18 there is no moral argument to call people attracted to them pedos.
USA however has a weird double standard in that regard, you are of legal age when 18, but cannot drink until 21???
This doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense, you can buy a gun, join the military, but you can’t have a drink?
USA is a pestilence of moronic double standards, and the country is suffering from am enormous degree of moral corruption, mostly originating in the insane level of Christian fanaticism, that is more similar to the middle east Islam, than to developed democracies. Of course similar moral idiocy exist in other countries too, but almost always driven by religiosity.
You literally are saying that it’s ok to be attracted to children just as long as their backstory is they’re over 18… everyone knows that loli shit is fucking pedo shit.
Cool. Glad we can agree on that.
Except the characters you loli people are into are literally depictions of children, and you justify that shit by saying they’re a 200 year old elf or some shit.
What?
Hey…hey stay with me… we’re talking about you liking or defending those who like depictions of children and saying it’s ok because you said they’re 18+…
There’s a very strong difference between what we think and what we do.
Being attracted to 18 year olds is absolutely legal. So what the fuck is your problem?
By your standard role playing a wizard that kills an orc would make you a wannabe killer!
The slippery slope pearl clutching around pedophilia is absolutely detrimental to actually protecting children against REAL pedophilia.
For fucks sake let’s attack the real problem instead of chasing shadows!!!
Because you’re not attracted to 18 year olds, you’re attracted to children and justify it by saying they’re 18. Huge difference.
You are outright insane.
Says the guy who’s suggesting that it’s ok to be attracted to children, because the characters are 200 year old elves… they’re still children.
You are insane, that’s all I have to say. You are literally insane if you truly believe that.
So… answer some questions here.
Simple yes or no.
Do these characters look like children?
Are these characters 18+ and never age past looking like children?
If you draw a baby wearing an actual diaper and arbitrarily call it a 200 year old immortal vampire, is it fine in your mind to depict it being raped by some random dude? I literally do not understand your thought process. Although, frankly, given the “difference between what we think and what we do” part of your comment, I’m not inclined to look on your thoughts particularly charitably.
