These creeps deliberately want to fallaciously conflate reality with fiction and CP with L0lic0n and sh0tac0n. One doesn’t have to like l0lic0n and sh0tac0n and can even find them subjectively obscene. However, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to objectively demonise such art and fans of such artistic content. The characters on such images are drawings, and thus have neither an actual real life human age (as they aren’t real humans) nor human rights. Animated porn and CP are two completely different things. Animated porn doesn’t harm children, it’s produced by adults and intended for adults. CP is impossible to produce without the active abuse of children, and people who consume it are participating in said abuse.

Additionally, it is scientifically proven that fictional pornography depicting (fictional) minors has therapeutic effects on people with paedophilic tendencies, and thus prevents the latter from sexually abusing real minors. Therefore, ALL fictional pornography depicting (fictional) minors should be completely legalised and the possession of all such material in all its forms should be completely decriminalised. Child pornography depicting real minors should remain illegal. L0lic0n and sh0tac0n are neither synonymous with paedophilia nor with CP. This ongoing war on anime and manga’s fictional characters in sexual situations or even pornography (which has been going on for decades and is baselessly caused by people on both sides of the political spectrum) is another modern day war on Rock & Roll, Dungeons and Dragons, Television, and Video Games of years gone.

Let’s be clear about the history of the claim being made. It is, in so many words, “If you enjoy X in fiction, you must want to do X in reality.”

It is the exact same fundamentally flawed argument being made by many previous moral panics, all of which have been wrong without exception. Around the turn of the most recent century, it was “Video games cause violence!” which literally became a moral panic for a while. It was, of course, baseless, and still is. In the 1980s in Britain, it was “Gory horror movies cause violence!” That, too, was a lie. In the 1970s/80s in the United States, within the feminist movement, it was “Pornography is the theory, rape is the practice.” Between 2000 and 2020, the average person’s access to porn increased tenthousandfold. Rape declined. In the 1970s/80s in the U.S, within the Christian community, it was “Heavy metal music leads to satanic ritual abuse and murder!” That literally never existed.In the 1950s, it was “Comic books cause juvenile delinquency!” There were literally PTA-organized book burnings in America because of that one. Also total BS. One can keep going further back in time. Every generation has this idiotic and intellectually impotent BS. Dancing causes prostitution. Novels cause marital infidelity. Rudolf Valentino is turning men into pansies and Franz Liszt is turning women into whores.

To say that l0lic0n and sh0tac0n lead to degeneracy, is like claiming that i.e. cutlery is to blame for people becoming obese.Unintelligent and indoctrinated individuals who are mis-, dis and malinformed on the subject proceed to see what they want and deliberately and baselessly make criminal accusations against those who create and consume the content.

Meanwhile others join along, (wilfully and) ignorantly citing whatever search engine results they get, spreading mis-, dis and malinformation and outdated/unconstitutional laws, repeating the same lines ad infinitum, whilst plugging their ears and covering their eyes to all objective facts and logic presented to them from legal and creditable sources. If you’re from a country that makes such content illegal, block and go away. Your laws don’t pertain to the world.

I said it once. I’ll say it again.

Individuals with their head screwed on straight objectively know that fiction never ever affects (objective) reality, that illustrations of fictional characters (which never age like humans; never have a real human age; are never made of actual flesh and blood; never have human rights) aren’t real humans.

Creating l0lic0n and sh0tac0n in forms like literature, art, etc. are also part and parcel of freedom of expression, and thus on the same level as freedom of speech. Vilifiers of l0lic0n and sh0tac0n will then resort to excuses like “Freedom of expression/speech, doesn’t mean freedom of consequences”. By uttering the word “consequences”, attempts to fallaciously, zealously and militantly marginalize, ostracise and even assault fans of l0lic0n and sh0tac0n are insinuated. These insinuations also suggest that these vilifiers want to have a fool’s license without facing any repercussions.

I can recommend the following YouTube video. “In Defense of L0lic0n and L0li Art” (Sadly, I can’t paste a link to the video, as it would lead to this comment getting shadowbanned.)

Too many people who conceitedly resort to virtue signalling and moral grandstanding, usually have the most skeletons in their own closets and thus have something to hide. They love to dish out, but never want to take any heat at all. They are totally and exclusively prone to classic projection. This just goes to show they’re neither luminous figures nor shining lights.

These virtue signallers, professional whiners, fanatical puritans, and suchlike have been wrong every single time. The “fiction makes you immoral, art makes you evil” people are batting zero in CENTURIES of at-bats. And yet somehow still today, we have the same sick little Puritan scolds. Never act like they might somehow have a point this time! Those who are baselessly smeared have shown to be proverbial open books and thus have actual integrity and are morally superior on average.

Okay. Enough digressing on my part. 😉
