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 lolicon 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 rape cases than Japan.”
“Why worry about the real crimes when you can prosecute fictional ones!”

I wonder if it never occurred to these people that if they manage to broaden the concept of hate speech too much, they will end up banning themselves. If they are feminists, they will inevitably criticize the patriarchal Japanese society, and what is that if not hate speech by their own lax definition?
Because they're women.
That's how.
(wish I was kidding.)
men calling women irrational when they(men) lose their shit over glorified games of fetch, classic.
You're not making a case for yourself here either, you know.
DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE PAPER DOLL LOLI?
Hate speech is a hypocritical leftist creation, and anyone attempting to rationalise it is either legitimately hates freedom, or is a complete and utter moron.
Let us protect human rights, by eliminating as policy the basic human liberties of speech and thought against specified groups as determined by us! Yes, because only criminals would dare oppose us people who believe Human rights are upheld by banning racism and sheltering children from the evils of the world.
You know, hating things is also a fundamental human right. I have no bloody obligation to love or respect my fellow human beings, especially the ones that are obnoxious. I hate idiots and morons, that doesn't mean I'm going to go out of my way to punch every single one I see, but for gods sake let me tell them they are idiots and morons.
I dont think you realize what 'hate speech' is, and its dumbasses like you that try to rationalize it with 'WEH WEH FREEDOM OF SPEECH'. Hate speech is harmful, it dehumanizes people, and when people are dehumanized its a hell of a lot easier for others to shrug off their murder and oppression. The holocaust started through hate speech; propaganda that made jews out to be inhuman. There is a differnce between hate speech and 'freedom to hate something'. One is dangerous, damaging and oppressive and the other is an opinion.
But for the record, I dont think loli manga is 'hate speech' unless its manga that explicitly says 'this is all little girls are good for'.
It is not a leftist idea. It is a stupid idea. It is a concept incited by those who don't have the mental capacity to argue, or the ability to think about things they think they don't like. Leftists aren't stupid people for the most part. They just have some idiots in their camp as well who ruin it for the rest of us.
Its an effing spiral of hate...
women and children aren't people they're just holes for me to fill
Bubba can't wait to meet you, sonny.
I wish these people wouldnt call themselves feminists. Most feminists I know dont give a shit about loli manga because its FICTIONAL DRAWINGS and not real children beng harmed in any way. Equating drawings with child porn is not only ridiculous, but incredibly insulting to the real victims of actual child porn.
Of course, there are going to be a bunch of dumb comments from people going on about how dumb feminists are and that they are all think like this, which is the equivalent of saying that all otaku stalk seiyuu and camp outside their apartments.
If they want to ban hate speech, do more about Japan's ridiculous lack of racial discrimination laws.
Racial discrimination laws are in themselves racially discriminating, and utterly idiotic to implement in any civilised nation that allows for universal human liberties already.
Thank god Japan is still one of the last few bastions that hasn't been overtaken by leftist hysteria. Although it seems people are trying.
I don't see how that is the case. Care to elaborate?
Don't bother. He's one of these reverse-racism nutbags.
The whole concept is flawed from the root, because racial discrimination laws are based on racial discrimination, and the end-result would only be more racial-discrimination.
For example, some countries impose a quota of immigrants. That just means you won't get the job because you're not an immigrant. Call it reverse racism if you're stupid, but it's just plain old racism, except the target is a different one.
The target doesn't matter, but to some people sending racist to gas chambers sounds like a good idea.
Those people are as stupid as those so called feminists.
Furthermore, anti-racism laws are made to punish and restricts, instead of having productive goals.
What good is there in restricting people? Should we send anyone who offend us to jail?
Doesn't the responsability ultimately lies within the party that takes the offence? Why would I face charge because I said something that you don't like or drew something you don't want to look at?
If I'm not forcing the drawings in your field of vision, and shouting stuff at your ear with a megaphone, it shouldn't be a crime. If racism is a flawed idea, it'll die on its own.
Such a law isn't even coherent with the rest.
You know who restricts speech they don't want to hear? totalitarian governments... and apparently neo-radical self-proclaimed feminists.
If they had brought social "studies" their ridiculous demands wouldn't sound like a tantrum, but sadly for them, the only studies I know of show that loli manga makes child molestation rate go lower. I don't remember the intricate details but it was mentioned to some political person in nederlands I think.
Needless to say, gun don't have a will of their own and go on killing people, and preventing kids to buy kitchen knives never saved anyone's life, ever.
You're free to enjoy stalin's USSR, but history shown us that totalitarianism isn't the way to go.
i think he meant, that if you implement such laws it is like admitting there is a difference between them.
this can be true, but that is only a matter of how you set this law up. like you may not say this or that to those people. or you may not say this and that to anyone. slight difference but the first one would indeed be admitting there is a difference while the second would not.
Racial discrimination laws are not dumb, but a double-edged sword in some cases. The thing is, words are freedom of speech, and even the worst, most horrendous hate speech is still simply an opinion, and people having a right to gather of like mind is something that everyone can do. Hate speech escalating into actions of hate is where there is a solid, unblurred line against racial discrimination, the argument is that the hate speech incites the mob mentality, and also racists speak constant lies and exaggerations. All the most powerful racists bring God into the mix, immediately making their argument ridiculous and stupid to anyone who is not ridiculous and stupid.
The key is that humans by and large are lazy. Look at what we in America are allowing without pushing back, companies getting slaps on the wrists, if anything, for their complete decimation of our economy through shady practices, or outright calling it legal, and nobody goes to prison. If we were not lazy, we would be doing much, much more, to the point that politicians would act, because that's what they do, get pushed by us because they won't get elected on big enough issues.
The idea is that they are worried that if hate speech is allowed, then escalation to hate actions is just another step. But any idiot knows you cannot force change and expect it to work, an evolution has to happen with gentle pushes. If they tried to make "Nigger" illegal for anyone, for example, it's a snowball effect of special interest groups demanding only certain people can say it because of their racial credentials, and then word after word being banned, and then everyone will start feeling cornered and racism would resurge to new levels. The worst thing you can do in racism is give favoritism.
Racial discrimination laws are there to prevent or reduce the leverage a person can get from charging someone of something based on ethnicity, it also gives those being discriminated some power. So for instance they're being prevented from landing a job based on race, they can bring that up with the law, or they're being turned into a scapegoat with their race as basis, law states they can't do that, their accusation doesn't hold up assuming they have no additional evidence.
Laws and morals are two different things, the reasoning of racial discrimination laws being inherently discriminating is a moral perspective, and helps society not at all, but it is a good mindset to have, to try and view and treat all races equally. Being different is inevitable, the law accepts that, and becomes a regulator. A rule essentially. Please note though, that the law is also not one-sided, if worded soundly, the law can support it's nation's natives too if they're being discriminated.
Sounds like a problem with poor lawmaking meeting bad cultural preconceptions. If anything, this is an argument against inefficient governments. Also,
sounds exactly like discrimination to me. Surely you must mean a scenario where they were denied a job not because of their race, but brought up the "race card" anyway?
Nope. It's admiring that there are people who think that is the case and would go to stupid lengths over their ignorant belief.
Educating the unenlightened is a worthwhile pursuit. Even "nutbags" can be salvaged. Sometimes.
I think the whole gist of that exceedingly long passage was that basically, laws, like Affimative Action here in America, that are supposed to help a minority have a better life end up ruining the chances of other groups by making it more difficult to work or do what they want. What I have noticed living in an area of 80-90% minorities is that often the opportunity is not given to the better qualified but who has the correct skin tone / sexual preference. You have to accept a certain percentage of each race even if they are not qualified to do the simplest tasks you need done or the gov't will jump on your company for not being "culturally diverse".
SAYS THE MORON WHO JERKS OFF TO THEM AND GOES RAPING REAL KIDS!
HEY FUCK OFF SHIT HEAD! THERE IS NO EXCUSE!
lel epik trawlling!!1 ANON MASTUR RACE REEEPURTING INNN!!!!!!!!!111
Raping real kids..You cross the line there, asshole.
Who says it doesn't make it any less or more valid. If Hitler said gravity pulls objects down, gravity will still pull objects down. We certainly won't start floating off into the sky.
Uhm proof scumy boy
Maybe they should start with banning religions first. Some twat smoke weeds thousand of years ago and wrote about their fictional characters and billion of people take it seriously.
cp, slavery, war, hate, torture, murder, rape, incest, all can be found in the so called "holy books" and i don't mean just one book.
We like Lolis but we don't worship them. And unlike some invisible man in the sky Loli never asks her fans to go on crusade or jihad against the infidels.
Incest is a natural part of animal behavior. Yes, dogs and cats as well as other animals WILL breed with their own offspring, even when other partners are available, a majority of the time if they are able to.
And your point is...?
The point is the anon wants to fuck his siblings but doesn't want to feel guilty about it.
Yes, animals do mate with their siblings but in the long run it causes problems, just like it does with humans... Many secialized dog breeds for example are so inbred that they're born with serious deformations. That is also why many breeders get sperm from other breeders, often even from another country to prevent inbreeding as much as possible.
Murdering your siblings to get your mum to feed you more is also natural.
Nature isn't exactly a role model of upstanding social behaviour.
OH, GOD EXISTS MY FRIEND, AND WHEN YOU DIE, I'M INFINITY PERCENT SURE YOU'LL REGRET YOUR COMMENT JUST NOW AND WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN, And I believe Loli-anime/manga/hentai should be banned, its Promoting Pedophilia and child porn.
Grow up man... you are delusional. God exist? Sure...So does Santa Claus, Easter bunny and pink unicorn.
Haven´t you heard, there is a new theory out now.
The light people see when they die or have near death experiences is actually the light from the birth canal.
So the tunnel and the light you see is not from heaven but from being born. In other words, your soul never goes to heaven after you die it is instantly put into the body of a baby that is being born.
That also support those people that say that they remember their former lives :)
Very well, when you are dead, please send my regard to your god, if you can find him/her/it.
OK this is just going to get more people ranting and I am sorry for that but I am a christian and even I don't think that this stuff should be banned because the people how see this stuff as how they should act are morons how never got taught whats right and whats wrong so leave this stuff be and go back to complaining about real life stuff instead I say but don't go thinking that the science fiction people make for fun is real in any way.
Wtf?
DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE PAPER DOLL LOLI?
ITS STILL CHILD PORN!
Neo-feminists aren't as much feminists as they are misandrists. You know, that word that everyone loves to pretend doesn't exist, and quickly strawmans the person by saying they must be anti-this-or-pro-that. It's more about being naive and childish and frustrated, and wanting to blame someone for it. Like joining PeTA or Greenpeace or some other organization that might have had good intentions at one point but has since become as bad as what they fight against.
Proper feminists actually study things, and not just feminism. They understand the difference between reality and fantasy, and they believe in genuine equality, they simply feel they have to balance out inequality vocally and proudly, but they know when to stop before it becomes inequality of a different type.
Like it or not, feminism has long been co opted by extremists/misandrists. What do the so called REAL femitards intend to do about this instead of giving the usual "We're not ALL like that" excuse. Just asking.
and what do the real 'mens rights activists' do besides shitting on peoples parades and saying 'weeh we're not all like that'?
Who cares? They're just as stupid. But they're not the ones we're talking about, nor are they anywhere near as onerous or numerous. They're completely irrelevant to this discussion.
Thank you.
Hell I care about health care (why pay SUBTANIALLY more to treat her illnesses?), job AVAILABILITY (we ALL need jobs), and rape prevention (Real rape that actually scars a living person male or female for ACTUAL life.)
Also the Xenophobia is actually pretty daunting when I imagine going to Japan.
I wonder how would they react if shota manga would be banned instead...
Nobody cares about males getting raped. They just have to deal with it and be a MAN. That's "equality".
Yup. True. I remember at one show, where the presenters and audience is all female, they are talking about how much fun to kick a man's nut..
What the fuck, and no male ever thinking about punching a woman for fun.
One other show is a two cast, man and woman acting that they are in quarrel. The producer is seeking the people's reaction towards the situation.
First, the man pretend beating the girl, and guys and girls come to rescue the actress.
Second, the actress pretend to beat the actor, and nobody come to aid. To add an insult, one woman is even cheering for the actress..
When asked, the watchers say that when they see they guy is beating girl, its a domestic violent, and when they see they guy get beaten instead, they though the guy is cheating..
You can see clearly, conclusion was made even when investigation in process. Guys always wrong and woman always right -- that is their mindset. Biased mindset, I must say.
It's mostly because men WANT women to be able to assume their "rightful place", whatever that turns out to be. It will not be easy, because there are a lot of horrible people trying to take advantage of the transition, and there's actual truth behind the saying "good guys finish last".
What's basically happening is that all the suppression is exploding in terrible ways. But men aren't venting yet, we're letting the women do it. Some of them truly deserve it, others are just terrible and shallow people who think they do. It's only going to get worse before it gets better.
As women realize that equality isn't the amazing utopia many of them wish it was, the anticlimax will balance things out and women will see reality for what it is and things will settle. A lot of men may be "lost" in the shuffle, but they're mostly willing to make that thankless sacrifice.
Feminists care a lot about men being raped, actually. The fact that OTHER MEN dont care about men being raped is a result of their own sexism - they see women as being 'no threat' to men and if a woman is capable of harming a man, well then hell thats the man's fault, he must just not be MAN enough!
It isnt women that perpetuate this cycle. It's men.
Rape affects women far, far more than men so theres a lot more focus on it being a women's issue, but I see the issue of why men being raped should be taking seriously raised by feminists quite often.
Pretty much everything that men hate women for is something they've caused that's backfired on them, they're just too stubborn to see it.
I agree!! Let s ban shota and yaoi hentais and let s see what they are going to say
Shotas can´t be raped. Since they get an erection they want it.
At least that was the reasoning used by the law to explain why a man could never be raped by a woman. :)
"Shotas can´t be raped. Since they get an erection they want it."
Jam your finger up your ass and see if you get an erection. Then remember back to how often you got an erection in class and think about how stupid you just sounded.
