Well known censorship advocacy group UNICEF accuses Japan of turning the rest of the world into lolicon child abusers and so demands harsh censorship measures be implemented, in their latest hateful tirade delivered at the world conference we heard of previously:
“In countries such as the UK, sexual or abusive depictions of children are illegal. Japan currently has restrictions on photographs of children, but the likes of manga and anime are not censored. As a result, problematic images flood out into the world.”
This risible scapegoating was delivered by moral crusader Dr. Ethel Quayle, a psychology lecturer at University College Cork (Ireland) who has published many works decrying the evils of the Internet in devouring children, and who also happens to be a darling of UNICEF for her appearance of academic credibility and constant porn-bashing.
Undoubtedly, she would like Japan to more rigorously emulate the UK, well known as a child paradise.
The next topic the conference discussed was the necessity of reforming Japan’s laws against underage prostitution and pornography featuring minors further still, which seems odd considering that these laws already seem highly effective, as evidenced by the multitude of stories we hear about their results.
We may yet hear more such one-sided hyperbole from this execrable gathering of moralists in their closing statements, due to be delivered on the 28th.
Via Yomiuri.
Whilst previously it was only the Japanese arm of UNICEF (albeit led by a Chinese pop-star) which pursued this line, in that case ridiculously demanding a ban on school swimwear in anime, now it seems the better part of the conference may be given over to Japan-bashing, apparently a topic of much greater importance to the group than preventing the deaths of children in the developing world.
Far from concerning itself with such inconsequential matters as reducing child mortality from disease and starvation in poor countries, or even tackling slavery and child soldiers, it seems instead UNICEF considers itself the international arbiter of what laws and cultural mores a nation must possess.
Not only this, their desire to curb artistic freedom of expression in countries demonstrably possessing extraordinarily high levels of child welfare seems unbridled.
Their goal will undoubtedly be to pressure the Japanese government into banning all “sexual” depictions of children in 2D works, as determined by UNICEF’s clique of UN-funded porn-hating child protectors, a decision the government has already cunningly deferred once in the hopes people will forget about it and leave it to pursue more important matters.
Those who value liberty and freedom of expression, as well as those concerned about the struggle for survival children around the world wage, may find support for this organisation to be ill-advised.

I find it rather interesting that the article says
In countries such as the UK, sexual or abusive depictions of children are illegal. Japan currently has restrictions on photographs of children, but the likes of manga and anime are not censored. As a result, problematic images flood out into the world.
That, of course, is not correct, because while not entirely illegal, they _are_ in fact censored. So beside not offering proof that such images really do _poison_ any minds, they don't even get the simplest things right.
Maybe UNICEF means well, but if I'm not mistaken they even had a certificate regarding the correct use of contributions taken away from them for at least a year recently, so it's not like UNICEF is a shining beacon of above-the-board child protection in any way.
Doujinshi? Doujinshi of the non-sexual, clean anime series that the Americans like so much? Any depictions of the underage Naruto characters (both 'Parts', for this matter) in 'slash' acts might as well be banned. 'M' rated fanfiction.net stuff, Rule 34, heck, if the UNICEF laws come into effect, the target girl demographic for all things yaoi/yuri will be responsible for the production and distribution of "cartoon child porn" (aka fake child porn, in this case), which we all know (sadly) is illegal in the West.
Think of the children! The imaginary children!
While we're at it, think of any characters under 18 in anime/manga/Japanese video games. No more slash het/yaoi/yuri fics or pics of FF characters, especially when their official ages are 17. (To name a few: Tidus, Zidane, Tifa) Even worse, since these are _fictional_ characters, none of us can wait a year for them to turn legal!
Who will declare independence from the West?
if da fukin unicef wants to keep their fukin children frm being "poisoned" y dnt they jus lock them up in a room nd raise em......man,how pathetic these ppl are,i mean without complaining about every single thing,y dnt they jus shut da fuk up nd raise their kids the way they want without pushing their fukin piss weak ideals on others like me who dnt giv a damn about som whore who dsnt kno shit about the internet nd how it works.....i mean cudnt parents jus moniter where their child goes on da internet,or better yet not even giv them a computer to begin with.......sheesh i hate these sort of ppl who make this sort of empty arguments
IDIOTS.
UNICEF, can't, you know? Fuck off?
the site doesn't care about freedom of speech. Just freedom to earn bucks from showing perversion
They're done protecting all the real kids from injustice, so they started fighting for the fake ones?
You're a shadow of your former self, and I facepalm for you.
Under current law it is an offence to possess indecent photographs (including videos) and pseudo-photographs of children. However, it is not an offence to possess non-photographic visual depictions of child sexual abuse. The police and children’s welfare groups report a growing increase in interest in these images, including an increase in websites advertising this sort of explicit material.
Police and children’s welfare groups are concerned that these images could fuel the abuse of real children by reinforcing abusers’ inappropriate feelings towards children. These images, particularly as they are often in a cartoon or fantasy style format, could be used in 'grooming' or preparing children for sexual abuse.
There is a problem with the statement. It is understandable that a pedophile (and I am going off of the fact that we defined one as a person showing any and all interest in underage image) being deprived of real image will turn on to "fake" images, and fuel his/her fantasies, but there is also the case of people (otaku) who will show no interest none what so ever in the real photographs and videos, which could be the case in why the images becoming more popular as well. On the abuse of children how ever, if a person is doing so then the problem lies much deeper then a simple viewing of loli and if "grooming" of kids is one of the concerns then you can do just that using regular porn/hentai it don't have to be loli
Child pornography is hot! I'm gonna jerk off to some tonight.
Even though the obvious troll is obvious, it's jerks like you that give other people a bad name.
Bad bad Anon.
I have a question:
How did UNICEF jump on the 'Ban Lolicon Bandwagon'? Did someone at their offices get caught with lolicon on their computer.... or *almost* caught fapping to it..... and claimed it was material for research?
Common Sense isn't, I'm always reminded every time I watch or read the news -_-.
They are run by porn hating extreme feminists.
Which explains the flapping sound coming from south of their collective belts. <_<
A tampon would shut them the hell up, I think.
If there needs to be legislature for the regulation of lolicon, then by God, treat it as you would any other adult material! Shrink wrap and keep out of the line of sight of younger children. Impose ratings for it.... and keep them out of the kid's hands in the stores. The sexually explicit stuff anyway.
Panty-flashing isn't necesarily a big Bad Thing. Look at Justin Timberlake's move with Janet Jackson at the Superbowl a couple years back.... sheesh. kids are exposed to worse than panties and innocent but suggestive accidents nowadays.
I'd prefer to see something reasonable rather than this farce of a failed idea go on. Prohibition didn't work on keeping people from drinking almost a century ago, and neither will this idea of banning lolicon work.
Guro, toddlercon, and other stuff like that can be lined up and summarily shot/sent to Hell for all I care.
So anything you don't like can be censored. Are you not in the same camp as UNICEF then?
I do believe this is more of an expression of his freedom... as much as I can't stand it my self... and as much as I want it to burn in hell... there is no silver lining for this. If you defend hentai in any form, you have to do so for every form or you become a hypocrite. Unless that is your goal.
Here's a simple bit of logic. If watching lolicon automatically brands you as a pedophile and child molester, then shouldn't anyone who watches porn at all be branded a pervert and rapist?
No, because it depends on the kind of pornography. How does being aroused by normal and natural sexual activities make one a pervert? In fact, it proves that one ISN'T a pervert and just the opposite, that one has normal sexual desires.
Well. In the best case, watching porn would make you a voyeur then.
Which is usually illegal, as well.
I sense a massive population drop in Japan in the future -mostly artists and companies- afterwords though UNICEF will realize they fucked up japan and will shrug it off and soo many people will be soo pissed. BUT!i do agree with Miroku74 about toddlercon and guro and that stuff...
But then by saying that anyone who likes that "stuff" would be offended because we would act like UNICEF and block things. Rather we fight together for all, or we lose individually.
Shortly they will start banning even women in swimwear...
The average feminist is really just a macho jerk pissed off she wasn't born with a cock.
They hate mostly because hate is all they can feel.
The only reason they have for their men hating agendas, is they hate all they can't have as a result of being born female.
They attack all things typically male out of their hatred of all they can't have.
I'm not hear to defend loli, I'm here to tell fem nazis to fuck off and die for being the hate filled losers they are.
They fail at being men of course, and they fail at being female.
They are failure personified.
UNICEFUCK!!!
People that say "so and so is poisoning/corrupting/endagering" obviously know nothing about the real world. They once said the same thing about music, comic books and dancing at some point in time. We regard them as the stupid and painfully ignorant.
Hey UNICEF... SUCK MY TENTACLES!!!
UNICEF just want all the lolis for themselves.
*Sigh* there are a thousand different more important things to worry about in the world instead of wasting money and time on 2D characters now if it was real individuals that were "victimize" well that a completely different story
This is silly. Nowadays if I'm slightly into lolicon I can just read a loli doujin and be satisfied with that. But if they restrict loli hentai what would I do? Go rape a child or look for actual CP? Leave lolicons alone, UNICEF, we're not doing any harm watching at anime lolis.
Women do not want men to have young brides. They operate as a sexual trade union restricting men. They don't want men realizing that they wish to have a sweet obedient young virgin girl for a bride.
First of all, i'm not with our against Loli-Manga&Anime, second same aplies to Gays, what UNICEF and other organizations are doing is putting the pressure on Japan, yes Ishihara Banned some materials, yes some are offensive to people, not all but some.
Anime Characters aren't REAL (i hate to admit that), but even the IDEA of Pedofilia or what ever is enough even if it's not real, yes Japan has a low rate of sexual abuse on minors but thats not the case here. I saw all types of ero-manga even Guro-Loli & Zoophilia...
I don't find it offensive, but not all people are like me, some will NOT like it, but will just keep it to themselfs our complain to friends. There are some tough that will infact complain about it to important organizations, not all but some, also there are those like here on Sankaku that will aprove of it and support.
Well freedom of speech isn't completely free, like Video games, i'll use this example cause i'm playing this game. FALLOUT 3 has a weapon called FATMAN, it's a Mini-Nuke Laucher in the game, the game was heavely censored in many countrys and this name is one of it. Many Japanese here already know the name cause they learned it on school (probably), FATMAN is the code name the USA gave to the Nuclear Missile they used in Nagasaki, the name was remade cause it would make many people complain. The same goes to the medical drugs, all around the world people complained about the names MORFINE... And they were changed for STIMPACKS... Those are VIRTUAL DRUGS not reall like loli... But even the idea is bad for some and so many organizations will complain so the names are changed, it's not cause of the children but cause of money yes my friends money.
Money is the BEST and WORST thing in the world, if the video game company is faced by a Big corp like UNICEF saing your game is offensive, "i don't like *THAT* don't realease the game our will persue you till you do." So they do minor changes to please them Like people say "WE CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE" some like other's don't, that freedom of speech that is not that free cause it costs. My last point MEN and WOMAN ahaha yes and SEX. Men love sex, even the idea of sex is enough, many woman say "Men are all the same" and we allways say it's not true, but it's true, men love sex more then woman we know that Porn is the example, THERE IS NO PORN FOR WOMAN, chat sites are 70% our more Men and the rest Woman. Yes Woman think men are horny and fightin lovers and thats the true right? we love war games, we love guns and fights... Woman apose that Femminism is just RACISM yes it's true like Machisme is also Racist.
They apose all the Sex they see on TV and eroticsim made expecially for the males, to arouse and GAIN MORE VIEWS = MOney, men know that men love sex so they do the sex and sell it to other men that = $.
Woman hate to see woman expose themselfs for men, all have they're reasons, some just hate to see other woman getting so low and some hate the attention the guys pay to those woman. The same aplyes to the GAY's, i hate the post i read, closing so many japanese Gay Chats and comunities, even tough i'm not gay, the choice people make SHOULD remain a civil right, i don't believe in GOD, so many people say i "suck" i'm white, black girls can't date me, why? rasims. to put this all in few words and sorry for my terrible english -_-
The biggest exemple is this: I don't believe in any kind of GOD. Now Spam me, say god is real, try make me beliave, with words our brute force, inpose your belives on me, do it.
This is the same has saying Let Gays be Gays freely, and some will say FUCK THAT those Inpures...
Loli, "this is a manga of a loli in a gangbang" i'm i mother and this is sick, *lolicon* fck you, i love it it's hot hehe. You sick bastard, Whispering to a friend and so on till someone with guts and brain says this kind of thing has to stop. *lolicon* NOooooooooo, you motherfucker nooo, and he does nothing about it exept for crying.
Those 3 Exemples are what we all face.
It's not about real our not-real, it's about racism, money and Freedom of speech.
What is freedom of speech to me, is offensive to others and you.
I'm sorry if my comment offends you (ahaha now do you get it XD)
FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!
GO JAPAN and kick the West influence out!
I'm an American but I am really considering getting out of here and head to japan but if they get bumed rushed into baning then i will quickly go to France to watch as they take down all of the greek statues that are naked women even the great thinker a naked male statue
man then museums will be next then history
So yes JAPAN know this you are supported into being a pure civil rights nation so dont ban crap that makes you money thats just them trying to make JAPAN their bitch when your economy collapses from the lack of creativity cause you failed to stand up and protect your civil rights or did the japanese of WW2 all turned into WEST boot lickers and lost of their honor that i have read about so if you give in then i'm afraid that japan to me will be an honorless pit full of yakuzas (yall still have yakuzas now but at least yall have oe had honor)
ok, there are some really nasty stuff in manga and anime, sick stuff...
BUT!!
it's only about 1% of manga cuture, i HATE IT when people who know NOTHING about some culture and think they have the right to preach and just come and ban something! and having said that i'm not into lolis or hentaa and i come from europe!
and let this also be said:
ANIME SAVED MY SANITY DURING CHILDHOOD YEARS, THANK YOU ANIME AND MANGA INDUSTRY!
years were rough but i had a world to escape in, i owe it to them i wasn't carted to an assylum!
hmm UNICEF do U have any type of military strength? do others really give a shit about u? 99% of kids who get ur little sitty boxes on hallo ween throw em out NO1 CARES ABOUT AND STOP SHITTING ON JAP kids chose 2 read manga and anime dont obstruct this dont u guys always say: let kids be free or sum shit like that? now go the fk away and focus on Africas hungry children
just shut these fools down completely, they make the (real) UNICEF jokes!
why don't they tackle issues regarding security on the korean peninsula
i've had enough of these HYPOCRITES!
The Devil always said that:
ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENSIONS.
So dont worry, ALL OF UNICEF peoples and their supporters are going to hell anyway.
UNICEF is a scourge
Most popular lolicon magazine Comic LO spends quite a large amount of it's income to help sick/homeless children and to organize free psychiatric help for those thinking they could be pedophiles.
Quite an irony, while UNICEF tries to sue "child porn magazine" that didn't harm a single child, this "child porn magazine" helps saves lives of real children in real world.
UNICEF is a big fucking hypocrite. They do things to help children, but at the same time, they use this to cover up when they push their biased agenda to do things to harm them, such as this, or how they prevent adoptions in Uganda.
UNICEF has made a grave mistake. You know what I'm gonna do for next Halloween? Thats right, if any kids come up to my house Trick or Treating for UNICEF, I am going to rape them. Good job UNICEF, you are promoting the abuse of children.
ah yes, and next in the line of fire would yuri/yaio mangas, because it would suggest the reader to go after the charming person of the same sex who lives next door.....
as if readers have the same IQ level as the three year olds running UNICEF....
UNICEF is one big kill-joy organization. They should just leave Japan alone, because they weren't able to do these kinds of things during their time. They had lived bitter youths >:)
I have no problem with lolicon, Also dont think UNICEF should ban anime - manga. but if you look at it one way or another some lolicon artist do take these 2d content a bit far sometimes. I say they just get together and say "hey maybe we going just a tad too far" and try to tone some of it down... and if you been around the way, like me you would agree some go a tad too far. where im like "wow wtf was he thinking when he drew this"
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/156666/Bill-vs-hentai-close-to-becoming-law-in-RP
I hope sankaku will post this soon.
In any case, another case of stupidity
I concur to that.
Fuck moralfags.
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=politics1_april13_2009
Moral hypocrites.......
Well, it always puzzles me why people in the West are such an obsessed moralfags now when it comes to minors. Because today children are protected and safe more than they ever were in history.
This entire anti-hentai/lolicon struggle reminds me efforts to root out masturbation in Victorian England, criminalize getting pleasure from sex because God told us to use it only for reproduction.
Pedophiles will always be because they are born that. It is almost like being born gay or not. And they will never change and can't be changed. Here where I live they even don't know about loli manga and never read Lolita but still do what they do.
I don't see what is wrong with 2-D images. As anyone can draw whatever comes into one's mind.
I 'm not aroused when I see underage girls (teenagers) but I find them cute and adorable. I clearly won't do anything to upset them. 99.9 lolicon fans are like that.
This UNICEF has become arrogant.
Why would UNICEF interfere with a country's policy ?
I bet those women lack faping to shota images so they
bash the lolicon images
DEATH TO THE UNICEF FASCISTS!!!!!
Can they really bring anime/manga down?
Think not they will have to kill me first!
the guy reading loli manga and the guy pointing a gun at a child, who r u gonna stop unicef?
oh and hey u know those pictures or painting on walls or whatever the hell u call it
those pictures with little naked kids flying around with wings that u usually see in churches
should it be considered lolicon?
wowsers, UNICEF lost my yearly donation, that i give to the cute little kids during holloween. i ALWAYS give em money, now they can FUCK THEIR SELVES!
Next time a kid with UNICEF comes to the door, you should steal their box, to get your money back for all the times we donated in the past trusting they were good people.
It's fucking pathetic to see so many people fucking crying about having their underage pixel porn attack.
You're one fucking pathetic bunch of inbred little perverts.
OH NOES MY UNDERAGE PIXEL PORN! MY LIFE IS RUINED! Oh wait you probably don't have one.
Grow up you despicable little bastards, and get laid.
Hey, moron. It not about porns, it about freedom, human rights, and free thoughts, be it evils or goods, that itself is subjective matters.
No one is happy to get their freedoms and rights ripped off, no matter what kinds of freedoms it is. No one is happy when someone force their thoughts and ideas into them, no matter how noble that ideas may be. You can promote your ideas through campaigns, but not forcing it into ones mind through censorship. The stronger you try to do that, the stronger the repulsive force, that the law of nature, you can't change it, by forcing it, you are promoting people with the same thoughts to gather and rebel against you. This cycle has repeated through history many times, but no one had learn their lesson.
And yes, do not call anyone a criminals without the acts of crimes being taken place; one is free to have any thoughts, be it good or evil, not even the GOD can or had the rights to control it, so are UNICEF who are just a bunches of hypocrites.
You grou up asshole.
Obvious troll is obvious. I refuse to believe anyone is really this stupid.
You should grow up when i smash your ears with a hammer!
Jebec just because some people watch lolicon images
on the web doesn't make them perverts. think before
you make a useless comment like that.
PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!
no! no! not the real one in africa or sudan but a 2D cartoony one!
A lack of child porn will most likely trigger pedophiles to go after real children, so eh.
but whatever, either way I would prefer UNICEF stopped concentrating their efforts on protecting the rights of imaginary children. There are real, living, breathing children that need help out there.
"led by Chinese pop-star"
they wants some popularity boost?...(ﺧ益ﺨ)
I would type out a long, detailed reply, but currently my palms are too busy housing the sudden rush of face that came to them.
UNICEF some how sick and tired caring about real children problem like already mention it above (war, child soldier, etc).
SO they "derailed their train, changed into rubber tires", and take the easy route which are need less money to handel, 2D stuff.
When do those people stop being stupid anyway...?
UN-affiliated organizations should take part in relieving us of this global financial crisis first before taking part in bashing a country's artistic freedom of expression.
When things become inconvenient for us, our reasoning sometimes becomes biased.
Who are they to interfere with others lives??? They should be going to third world countries and feed those starving children rather than targetting things unrelated to their work.
For goodness' sake... I am never going to donate to UNICEF ever again. It's just drawings, for goodness' sake! They don't really advocate child abuse! You want to get someone for that, get the child pr0n makers. That's live action, real kids getting abused. A lot worse than it happening to a 2D bunch of pixels.
They just don't have the guts to mess with pr0n makers cuz behind of pron maybe hides mafia. It's either that or they're just unloved beings who hate anything have to do with pr0n.
They make an anti anime thing... We need to make an anti UNICEF org...
Stupid Organisation...
This is conspirasy... I'm sure of it.....
Hell...
Im sure Baby P would have agreed with the good Doctor.
I wonder what kind of colorful comments his excellency/Prime Minister Taro "Rosen" Aso will have over this issue (being the manga fan that he is) :)
UNICEF is tha shiet
wtf they wasting time on trying enforce this kind of law???
what abt slavery, malnutrition, poverty, and kids that being used as suicide bomber in mid-east???
i bet they aint gonna do anything on those stuff
now if 2D loli are gone...
those pedo have nothing to jerk-off..
they will go for 3d one...way to go!!!
There are many reasons why even Vatican has withdrew its support for UNICEF, and one of the reason is the hypocrisy. As many noted, UNICEF fails to address, no in fact support greedy ventures of many European and American Corporations striving to enslave African agriculture and other industries in forms of 'humanitarian aids', which is partly responsible for the famine and poverty in Africa.
http://catholicinsight.com/online/political/un/article_457.shtml
In 1996, the Vatican finally cut off its token payments to UNICEF.
all in all they jz wana censor =.=
So instead of helping situations like those in Dafur, they instead focus on anime?
I don't know. They must have some weird mental problem or something. ==
Anime would not be anime with all those things they want banned.
Freedom of artistic expression or not (come on, what has Moe-tan and the likes to do with art and expressing yourself? :D), anime/manga in Japan gets away with stuff that would never ever fly anywhere else. Some "innocent" sukumizu or pantsu fanservice is one thing, but there are shows made with only blatant fanservice in mind.
And while blots of ink on paper don't hurt anyone, and it would be certainly better if real pedophiles fapped to 2D lolis instead of molesting real children, there's no proof that 2D lolicon is not spilling over into the 3D world... re: that 6 yo. "idol" girl, loli dolls... Eugh.
While this logic is flawed in my opinion (as pointed out by Anon, Lafitte and smooches above), I still have to agree on the Moe-tan thing.
Trying to watch it made me feel like it's geared at commercially exploiting actual pedos instead of your average lolicon (as per the western interpretation of the word).
I seriously couldn't get myself to watch it, and that's despite me being a huge Kodomo no Jikan fan. Sigh.
So there is no proof of a negative?
what the shat is that kind of reasoning?
I mean theres no proof that theres not a teacup orbiting mars at this time, but i think we can reasonably assume that there isn't.
And how can we reasonably assume that?
1- We are the only known species to make and use teacups, and
2- There are no manned crafts orbiting Mars.
These two items constitute EVIDENCE that there are no teacups orbiting Mars (though a minuscule chance exist that there might be).
Evidence currently suggests that an increase in consumption of pornography within a community significantly reduces the instance of sexual crime. ERGO, there is evidence that lolicon produces a positive effect.
3D existed long before 2D did. It's much more likely that 3D spills into 2D, not the other way around. At most, 2D is just a warped reflection of 3D, not the cause.
so you can judge what art is and what art isn't? you should totally work for a museum or a gallery. it's not everyday a person comes along and can judge an intangible thing that easily and also have the gall to tell others that they should or shouldn't be allowed to look at it. for your 2nd part of your arguement about no proof of it spilling over, have you ever heard of the church of the pink invisible unicorn? they worship an invisible pink unicorn, it is a religion based in scientific fact and religious belief. they no for a fact the unicorn is invisible because they cant see it but they have faith that it is pink. sound ridiculous? yeah so does your argument
I believe what he was trying to explain is more like a theory than absolute true. I do agree with him if loli-manga could make pedo focus on that instead of attacking real kids, I would be happy. For the moe-tan fact, I think moe-tan is really provocating about his content. I agreed, it's not just a loli product, it goes further, but I do enjoy the funny stuff in this anime like when they are changing and the duck drool/cat nose-bleed. Loli product are not necessary bad things, it's depend how you show and use them. Like Kodomo no Jikan, I believe this is something really well made (but sometimes, I do think they use lolicon service just for a laugh). All the psychology behind them. If you look at our school today, you will see that girls of this age start acting more and more like kokonoe. For a first fact, the way they are dressing themselves, like a %#$^&.
Haha UNICEF you silly bastards.
Good thing no one really gives a shit about their opinion. (And we're talking about the great Kingdom of Nippon here.)
Poor starving children.It's nothing new that UNICEF wastes money on stupid shit, or somehow manages to "lose" it.
Loli's on my lap alright with the world.
You can have japan's loli when you pry it from their cold dead hands. Also I wish these people would realize that that DRAWN IMAGES isn't child abuse and hurts no one. Actually i'd be willing to bet it would stop more abuse than what it causes but thats another story. They should stick to helping kids who really need it, not imaginary ones.
That is what I'm thinking also.
That is also what I'm thinking. They're probably just trying toexert their power, but Japan is a strong nation of lolicon so it will be a harsh battle.
Well in the us at least the feds make the argument that it will just make you wanna get some non anime cake. My friend saw a thing at school with one of the most inane arguments and it was.
When your hungry looking at picture of strawberry sundaes only makes you hungrier it's the same with porn.
I'm sorry but what kinda bs is that give me mah loli and no cake will be had (not that i would anyway).
I want to one day know how many people, and especially lolicons, actually think of anime kids as representation of real kids. IMO, most anime kids (and most anime characters) are about as real as an anime succubus with functional wings and a tail, or furry anthro characters: impossible IRL. This is why I usually assume westerners who call themselves lolicons are more likely to be into a breed of petite, fairytale type 2D-midgets, than real children.
This is rather interesting, as those ratios act as a sort of innate biological “signal” for mating suitability. Card Captor Sakura’s long, widely-spaced legs are a perfect example of this.
All subjects related to loli have to come back to Cardcaptor Sakura, don't they!?
Man, for someone to watch that anime, and then to fantasise about the 10 year old girls in that, shame on them! SHAME! SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!
Well. That nails it down. CCS has been around for a long time. Tomoyo in the anime gives off subtle sexual undertones at times.
As result, there's tons and tons of naughty CSS doujin or whatever else around, and wether wantingly or not, many certainly stumbled across that, wether recently or ten years ago.
I think that is why CCS gets pulled out for stuff like this that often.
well, card captor sakura was around a long time ago, perhaps he was still young enough to fantasise about it back then. though I agree with u if the guy s 40 or somethin SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEEEE!!!11one!
I think you're right. If you measure and analyze 2D lolicon images, the leg length and hip width ratios almost always fall within in the adult range. This is rather interesting, as those ratios act as a sort of innate biological "signal" for mating suitability. Card Captor Sakura's long, widely-spaced legs are a perfect example of this.
Basically speaking, it's simply the head vs. body length ratio that determines whether one looks "imouto" enough (cf. imouto/ane slider from 3dCustomGirl).
That and the flat chests and absence of pubic hair. Can't forget those two :3
Oh man, that's retarded. The better metaphor would be that seeing images of meat dishes will turn a vegetarian into a non-vegetarian... or seeing pictures of bottles of milk will cure lactose intolerance.
Of course those metaphors demonstrate the opposite, so it's fairly unlikely they'll be used.
But I have to wonder: why persist with this sort of propaganda given that it's so transparently bullshit? They get paid for it, obviously, but what's the point? Power? If that's the case then this stuff is some pretty sordid shit right thur.
"To make the world a better place," I suppose. No matter how mistaken they are, most of them truly believe they are making a positive impact on the world.
'When your hungry looking at picture of strawberry sundaes only makes you hungrier it’s the same with porn.'
well it may seem like it makes sense but its assuming ur hungry in the first place.. so if u put it into this context.. unless ur already into rl loli u wont be tempted wen u look at 2d loli.. i hope i've got taht the right way round
Even then it wouldn't work, since a picture of food won't fill you, whereas loli pictures can help you release.
In that sense, I guess it'd be better to compare it to salad and steak, and the hungry people are either vegetarians or on diet.
Ignore this last part if you can't read Finnish. I'm way too tired to realize how silly it looks, or how to properly translate it..
Hehe, jos ei pysy dieetissään saa "kakkua" :D
