Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.

Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union...

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.

Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?

I'm not collecting this, so links are not of best quality, it's just something I could quickly find. But if you pay attention, you will find stuff like this happening almost every week.

  • a lot of manga/anime DO have despicable stereotypes in them, but so do many other things which are still completely legal.
  • corporations being fascists isn't anything new and they are also US corporations, so you are still generalizing a bit too much. also manga/anime move tons of money and corporations love money, so not gonna happen.
  • lmao I knew we would get to lolis here and, brace yourself, while I don't think people should be jailed because there is no harm caused to minors, I still consider it pedophilia and it should require some kind of action, like for example requiring the person to have psychological treatment or something like that. that being said manga/anime isn't just lolis (luckily) so, again, you are generalizing quite a lot.

it should require some kind of action, like for example requiring the person to have psychological treatment or something like that

Do you also think lgbtq people and furries need psychological treatment?

[–] acido@feddit.it 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

so you compare belonging to lgbtq+ to being a pedophile?

[–] lil_baka@ani.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see you haven't tried thinking about it critically even for a second. Seach "Piper Perry" and think who is closer to resembling a real underage person: an average "petite" pornstar, or an average anime "loli". Yet somehow "underage looking" anime characters are always claimed to be "pdf" taste while "underage looking" petite pornstars are only claimed to be "pdf" taste in Australia, famous for calling even smaller than size 3 breasts a "pdf" taste.

[–] acido@feddit.it 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

first, I don't care about what you think is worse.

second, being attracted to little girls, even if drawn, is LITERALLY pedophilia.

the fact that there is pedo bait in porn makes another valid point for my thesis that manga/anime will never be illegal since that kind of porn is decades old and I also linked you an article about that guy arrested (and discharged) for lolis pics that further proves my point.

I also notice you avoided my question, but I take it as you regretting the comparison between lgbtq+ and lolis/furries.

[–] lil_baka@ani.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you consider attraction to petite / compact / small body types as pdf, then my answer to your question is yes, and moreover I consider this kind of taste way more common and less questionable compared to lgbtq stuff (even though I'm totally fine with that as well). Moreover, it's only in west people look like 40 when they're like 16, in east people often look compact and petite for most if not all of their lives, so that your western mind bugs are seen as even more hypocritical there.

[–] acido@feddit.it 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

are you fucking out of your mind?

take a dictionary and read what pedophilia is, so maybe you'll understand how fucked up is what you just said.

also your racist clichés are fucking disgusting, but I am not even surprised at this point.

[–] lil_baka@ani.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's nothing fucked up in realizing that the mere fact that there are existing adults with such body types, proportions and features, completely and utterly destroys the idea that it is in any way unnatural, unhealthy or immoral to be attracted to such body types, proportions and features. Having said that, you can simply consider that every anime loli is actually a 600 year old vampire.
