there was an update from the admins of lemmy.nsfw where language barriers got in the way and the wrong impression was made, which was quickly addressed by the instance’s other admin as well as edited by its’ original author.

this got people in this instance concerned until the edit was made, however in two threads about it on kbin social the anime PFPs came out to play and the head admin of dataterm was obligated to comment as well

the funniest part is, it really demonstrates the truth of stereotypes about people with anime loli PFPs. at least a couple of the commenters in those threads are going to end up on watchlists.

      I feel like people minimize video game violence as if it is any less bad then getting off on a drawing. People minimize the violence in games where we glorify killing people and don’t talk about the repercussions of war and the violence - real war with refugees and results of total annihilation like Syria.

      War is no joke, violence is no joke, and killing people is just as bad as pedophilia - REAL pedophilia. But just like shooting someone in the head in a video game or burning a village down in a video game doesn’t translate to someone in real life wanting to hurt other people, looking at drawings does not mean someone is going to act out on the drawings they see. Fantasies do not equate to hurting others. There are plenty of people out there who have rape fantasies, they may write about it, they may roleplay with their partner, but that does not mean they WANT to be raped or assaulted in real life and it gives no one a license to do that to them against their will. Fantasies are fantasies, that is all they are, and the few sick fucks who act on their fantasies are 100% different from the people who never do.

      Why not? The comparison is identical.

      People are into things in fantasy that they’re not into in reality. And not everyone who defends victimless activities are into them. I’m not into loli, but it’s fucking fantasy. People fantasize about being raped, that’s a huge fantasy. But that doesn’t mean they want to be raped. And most “loli” anime shit look absolutely nothing like real children. If you want to talk about photo-realistic AI generated porn, ok fine. But seriously, what’s wrong with a “3000 year old dragon” in the body of a child? Can they consent? That’s all that really matters here, consent.

        No it’s not, and you fucking nonces need to stop saying that getting sexual satisfaction from underage representation is the same as playing video games constantly, it’s a bad fucking look.

          Just because you enjoy one and don’t enjoy the other doesn’t mean they’re not the same. It’s concerning that you have a hard time distinguishing reality from drawings, and then try to accuse people who are saying that there’s simply no victim here of being pedophiles when no one is even talking about any living person, let alone a child, is pretty telling.

            The “reality” is that a paedophile is getting very real sexual gratification from these images, and indulging nonces is fucked up. If you can’t differentiate that from video games, you’re the one with the fucking issue.

              What? So anything a pedophile enjoys should be banned? Pedophiles probably enjoy violent games too. And I’m sure murders certainly do. What’s your point? I’m perfectly fine with anyone getting sexual gratification over any drawing. Who does it hurt?

                Holy fuck, indulging their fucked up sexual desires. Are you being intentionally obtuse, or are you really that dumb? Stop trying to defend fucking paedophiles.

                  You’re making really specific distinctions just so that what you enjoy isn’t covered by your outrage. If we’re talking about pedophiles specifically, their fucked up sexual desire is wrong because their victims can’t consent. If they could consent, there wouldn’t be a problem. Now, if they instead want to jerk off to fictional depictions (however realistic or not) of children, why is that bad? No one is hurt, they get to get off, and a potential victim is spared. So unclutch your pearls.

                    lmao, fucking nonce defenders. They should be getting help to either stop jacking off to that shit, or get chemically fucking castrated so they don’t have those desires any more. Fuck off with your paedo indulging.
