Strike Witches creator and general loli pantsu mangaka par excellence Fumikane Shimada has expressed his disapproval with the oft-repeated argument that censorship of ero-manga will increase sex crimes.
Fumikane on the “catharsis” argument that porn reduces sex crime:
“I cannot abide the ero-manga catharsis theory – treating all ero-manga readers as potential sex criminals is not something I like.”
This is the argument that otaku are latent sex fiends and all that keeps them from violating little girls is the ready availability of such esteemed rorikon publications as LO. Ban their manga, and you unleash these perverts on your children, imply the advocates of this position.
Even such great mangaka as Kentaro Miura have fallen into the trap of espousing this hideous argument, his great mind perhaps dulled by too many hours spent idol fancying.
That great hive of actual sex criminals weighs in on the topic with its usual insight:
“Show me a human who isn’t a potential sex criminal!”
“It’s right – otaku are potential sex offenders. Take away their manga and they’ll start violating little girls.”
“It’s more like this:
Hysterical pro-censorship types: ‘It increases sex crimes so it should be banned!’
Clever censorship opponents: ‘There’s no data to support that hypothesis and no scientific basis to think that it would increase sex crimes.’
Normal censorship opponents: ‘Banning it may increase the number of rapes!’
Idiot censorship opponents: ‘Ban it and you’ll cause more rapes!'”
The “catharsis” argument is of course not only without any basis in fact, it also plays straight into the hands of censorship advocates by conceding that the ranks of the group being targeted are indeed filled with deviants and criminals, just as censorship advocates were shrieking all along.
It is for this reason that those defending murder simulators, the devil’s music and all the debauchery of the printed word are rarely caught saying their medium is all that is stopping more of their ranks from unleashing their murderous impulses on society.
It is hard to see why any ero-manga fans would not be well served by adopting the same position and refusing to acknowledge any supposed connection between their favoured art-form and the prevention or promotion of sex crimes.
its weird but only ignorant people would agree people that know how all this works know other ways to prevent all this
if u dont know about history u wont know anout the future
I just saw an advertisement. The advertisement said that I do not get to decide when the fruit is ripe because the fruit will decide when it is ripe.
This mangaka is an idiot. The reasoning is that if someone has a higher than normal sexual drive (which most pursuers of pornography do have), if their drives are not sated in some other way when they are cut off from sex with someone who they are sexually compatible with, they can turn to r♥♥e in a mentally discognitive moment to sate their desires.
r♥♥e is not about power, contrary to popular belief by psychologists and the media. It is SOLELY about sexual gratification in almost all cases.
Actually it is about power because you have to be able to overpower the victim to r♥♥e them, doofus.
It’s simple, watching cartoons is not going to stop a rapist from raping people and it’s just a cartoon.
Isn’t every male a sex criminal, according to feminist logic?
No.
Then again, If you guys think about it:
I.E. I like kids. So much so I have no qualms of having a sexual relationship with one, provided she knows what she’s getting at. If she doesn’t then I take the role of “elder brother” instead. If ever she does, then that’s no problem to me. r♥♥e is out of the question. So is coercion and brainwashing. The rule here is “not to force or hurt anyone”.
So in the “normal” people view, I am a sex offender and should be put to death…. LOLZ….
Forgetting that you were a kid, previous poster…. those people who say that they ‘hate children’ have a habit of forgetting that they were once children and have a habit of saying that children are ‘disrespectful’ towards adults when their parents have really just taught them that EVEN ADULTS have to EARN their respect.
no I just think you must get the s♥♥t kicked out of you a lot. If not by the actual girl’s elder brothers or fathers then cocerned neighbours seeing an adult trolling after little girls. I know i would beat the piss out of you if you went after any kid I have.
wtf sankaku censorship
“All I know is that 3D l♥♥i is looking a lot more appealing lately…”
