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.
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.
I will just put it this way: the author of hentai/ecchi content featuring children had to sit down and decide “yes, I’m going to draw a child being sexually assaulted and expect it to be viewed positively.” If you think this is acceptable, I don’t know what to say.
If a furry gets off when they see an animal or something meant to look like an actual animal, then yes. If the furry just finds other adults in fursuits sexually appealing or whatever, I don’t care. The suits aren’t really meant to look like an actual animal (unlike a drawing of a child that is actually meant to largely look like a human child). Frankly this is closer to sexual roleplay with an adult wearing a diaper and shit and acting like a baby (I have no idea what the name for this is, all I know is that it exists). I find this very weird, but it’s between adults, so again I don’t care (from what I understand it’s about differences in power and stuff, so I guess like BDSM). If the people involved get off seeing actual babies or things meant to seem like actual babies, then it’s no longer acceptable.
