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.
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.
So what you say is that intent is more important than the object.
Therefore you loathe furries as well? As big part of it is anthropomorphized animals in a sexual way.
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?
Sure, I guess, although it’s kind of inextricably linked to the damage of actually using it.
No no they’re not, sounds like you enjoy loli shit as well…
