I just can’t, and sadly it’s worst in Linux community. Like dude’s face hair makes him look 45, but no, he does a desktop with a cringy looking 15 old anime girl. (That, on top of hiz annoyingly high pitched voice but whatever) I just stop watching the video on the spot, it’s beyond dumb.
The stupid NSFW tag on Lemmy? I turned it ON to occasionally see boobs, not some drawn pictures of underage kiddo, this pisses me off so much, JUST FCKING STAHP with this shit.
I have an impression suddenly, in a span of 2 years everyone started to jerk off on that bullshit and are proud to show it
They don’t have an age, they’re a drawing
You just told me this
I’m asking what’s the age
The point is it doesn’t matter. If the creator says they’re 12 or 16 or 29 or 3000. If that’s what you’re basing it on (and, that’s the only thing you really could be basing it on) then, if you can’t see how absurd it is to base whether or not something is moral/legal/ethical purely on a number the creator arbitrarily assigns to their creation, I’m not sure what to tell you. But I can tell you you’re certainly not protecting kids, or anything actually useful.
I mean we both know they’re drawn to look like kids too but I don’t think you’re going to admit that anytime soon tbh. But even just specifically looking for characters where the author says they’re 12 for kicks is obviously that gets one labeled as a pedo.
Some are drawn to look like little kids, sure. But even still, it’s a drawing and doesn’t necessarily correlate to real life attraction to kids. Same way as I mentioned earlier watching gay hentai, or even gay porn, doesn’t mean you’re gay or even attracted to men in real life at all. Same way you can watch violent movies or play violent games and enjoy the fantasy without having any interest at all in real life.
So sure, I’ll bet there’s lots of pedos that watch loli stuff. But at the end of the day, who cares? They’re either going to watch that, or go find real kids. And lumping everyone who has a fantasy as being a pedophile just makes the conversation impossible and does nothing to protect or defend anyone
It’s the sexual fantasy that makes one pedo was the whole point.
But it’s a fantasy involving a drawing that could represent anything. If they’re not actually attracted to real kids, they’re not a pedophile.
It could represent anything but what is it representing in this specific case? Yeah.
Well, for a lot of people it’s not actual kids. So I don’t know what to tell you
