The latest effort by feminists to get loli manga banned sees it being condemned as “hate speech” injurious to the rights of women and children.
Japan’s “Society to consider sexual violence and damage caused by pornography” has attracted some recent attention by twitting about the evils of loli manga – likening it to “hate speech,” a new one:
“Even if it is 2D, it is sexually abusive hate speech as damaging to the human rights of victims as racist hate speech, and as such should absolutely be banned.”
The evolving “debate” about banning rorikon pornography in Japan has largely been led by feminists attempting to cast it as a violation of the rights of fictional minors, but this is apparently the first time they have tried condemning it as criminal hate speech.
Their argument is that even a fictional representation of abuse injures women as a whole (although as usual both evidence and logic appear to be largely lacking) and infringes the “human rights” of women not to be subject to free speech which some of them dislike:
“With pornography featuring real women there is both direct and indirect harm caused, whilst with 2D pornography there is indirect harm.
Just because there is no direct harm does not mean it is not indirectly harmful, so it is harmful all the same.”
The wider context of their remarks is that Japan – a nation without any laws against racial discrimination – has of late been seeing increased calls for laws banning “hate speech,” almost exclusively the result of right-wing racial antipathy towards ethnic Koreans.
They even go so far as to conflate the two:
“People carrying placards saying ‘kill the Koreans’ are using words which are not three dimensional, but they still infringe the human rights of the entire target group.”
As might be expected from the online masses still gleefully supporting the right of Japanese protesters to march through Korean areas sporting placards bearing the legend “kill the Koreans,” there is not much sympathy for their position online:
“No matter how many times I read their arguments I don’t understand what they are on about.”
“Shouldn’t this mean all works featuring murder should be banned as well?”
“All games, drama, novels and everything else featuring violence is apparently violating someone’s rights now…”
“Their reasoning is utterly imbecilic.”
“More leftist Korean-worshipping attempts to destroy otaku culture!”
“More from these ECPAT crazies who want all porn banned.”
“So they finally decided to start calling everything they disagree with hate speech…”
“It’s just a label to vilify things they disagree with to them.”
“Somebody please oppose all this left wing hate speech.”
“If we recognise the human rights of fictional people, does that mean they’ll finally get the right to marry us?”
“Amazing how they manage to keep overlooking the fact all the nations who banned this stuff have vastly more r**e cases than Japan.”
“Why worry about the real crimes when you can prosecute fictional ones!”
IF THE LOLIS STOP GETTING PUT IN COMICS THEY’LL STOP EXISTING
YOU’RE KILLING THEM
YOU’RE KILLING THE LOLIS OFF

EVEN DISCOURAGING THESE MANGAS FROM BEING MADE IS MURDER
OVER 9,000 LOLIS HAVE NOT BEEN DRAWN AND THEREFORE PASSED FROM THIS EARTH BECAUSE THEIR CREATORS FEARED ATTACK
WHY MUST YOU SUPPORT THIS LOLICAUST
BAN ANTI-l♥♥i SPEECH, IT’S SIMULATED MURDER
Oh now feminists care about kids… AND THE ONES THEY ARE CARING ABOUT DONT EVEN EXIST!!!!
Thats fucking cute.
Maybe they should worry about the child predators they work for that are in their own party…
Again… feminism… talking about s♥♥t THAT MATTERS(PFFT!!!).
Lolicon has 0 to do with the harm or cause of harm on kids. The fact of the matter which has been entirely avoided is that there are groups who look at lolicon as a source of control is all. By banning lolicon, they “control” the masses in society and put people in prison they don’t like over cartoons. In all honesty these groups couldn’t give a flying hoot about the supposed “safety” of our dearly beloved fictional drawings of pencils and erasers. Instead it’s leaning on a more moralist aspect by using children as a shield and excuse to ban lolicon. It all dates back to the old “Wuumen and children first” era of thought. What actually harms kids is the wrong food, bad parents, bad school systems, and nasty people in life. What DOESN’T harm nor hurt kids is material clearly marked and labeled 18+ for adult use only.
The ironic part, the mere existence of lolicon has never contributed nor changed the existence of children or their safety. Just as violent movies never change a thing. For those calling lolicon a “gateway” I say are completely full of it. I can watch 1,000 movies involving horror, blood, murders and what-not and STILL be a decent law-abiding citizen of society. Why? Because, as any sensible person is taught, fiction and reality DO NOT mix. What we see on the screen or watch on a movie is just for that and that only. It is not to be repeated, not to be done and in it’s essence it’s so entirely exaggerated and fake it’s obvious its scripted. Cartoons make this even more clearer and no, no matter what anyone says, no one looks like a cartoon character voiced by an actress and produce by artists in a studio. That part is obvious. Lolicon is simply a fictional production, not a human trafficking. Idiots.
If we society crow about accepting homosexuality of folks and whatnot, why can we not accept the sexuality of those who simply mind their own business and enjoy their fictional entertainment?
Honestly i’m tired of seeing the Lolicon society always being painted as either bizarre or loopy dangerous people. It’s time Lolicons start speaking up for themselves, instead of allowing the hate-speech and discrimination of Feminist and alike to mis-label and misjudge lolicons. I just don’t buy a fictional cartoon character with cat-ears contributes to the “harm” of children.
Clearly reeks of western idealogy. The japanese need to STOP allowing the west and their idiotic ideas to ruin the culture. This includes the so called feminist and their bullshit propaganda. I’ve notice in the past couple of years that the NA and parts of EU have an idiotic chip on their shoulder concerning Japanese culture. Then again it’s always fun to point at another culture, while clearing ignoring the b.s. in one’s own. Like the real and growing problem of gun violence where REAL kids, teens, and adults are at-risk at some crazy gunman’s mercy with yet MORE incidents of this occurring.
The west should mind it’s business and stop thought-policing people over cartoon characters and comic books. Pay attention to what’s going on in the real world instead of making false excuse arguments over someone’s artwork under the guise of being some wannabe advocate for teh wuumen and teh children. I really don’t see anyone raising a stink about the multiple fictional characters that are hacked and slashed up in movies and films. Maybe they should have “rights” too, those papers and pencils.
l♥♥i is not hate-speech, it is not abuse, there are literally 0 victims or any victims at all it is not any of that. It’s just cartoon characters and artist and fans alike should be able to read whatever fiction they please, without society or the government butting in to what people do with their money.
The japanese have become weak and their butts soften. Don’t they understand the feminist and these so called advocate groups are just using lolicon as an excuse to literally purge japan of ALL it’s erotic material? Soon it’ll be “BUT THE “GROWN” Woman CARTOONS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!1!!”
Facepalm.
and risk to be nuke the third time? nah, japan is already so afraid, you cut it’s hands feet, blind it’s eyes, broke his teeth, what else do you expect japan to do, except wave it’s tail to it’s master
Hate speaching by calling something hate speach?
Soundslegit.
