About lolicon:
It's so weird, I live in the country where drugs and prostitution is allowed. "Not for sale for people under 18 years old" my a**.
Drugs, that's reasonable, but sex shops here? I once entered one some months ago and they greeted me nicely, not asking what age I was.
I look quite young, so it's very weird. I saw the MOST weird videos in my life.
But animated porn of young looking people? Why isn't that allowed by the law? But I always saw Shin-Chan showing his ass on children-channels and hearing him saying explicit things?
And what is young looking to everyone? A 20 year old in an anime can look 10 and vice versa.
To me: Every form of art, eroge is art, should stay (and be) allowed.
For example: If you write a fictional book about your "horrible" ex wife, she raped the children many times, she abused everyone according to your book..
She can't go in court to you, because the book is fictional.
Soooo, why isn't lolicon allowed, then. It's also fictional, right?
A comic character is not a real person.
As long as it's fictional, and the character ISN'T based from a non-fictional character in this case (pedophilia is a sensitive case in almost each country (and it should stay like that)), there's no problem.
To me: As long as you don't show your "hobby" in public and don't rape real children, everything's fine. Just like drugs, alcohol and porn here in my country.
I even think that if they would sell eroge, that it's going to reduce the rating of child-rape in my country and in any other country.
If things are illegal, people tend to do those things. It's a kick and it's more likely that you're going to try that out.
If it isn't, like drugs here, people don't give a sh*t about it.
People are like that, it's human nature.
Some months ago, I read an article about an experiment. They wanted to legalize visual pedophilia to see if real pedophilia would reduce (and read the quotation under this paragraph).
I was like: WTF, isn't visual allowed?! But it's art, and art in any form, no matter what it is, shouldn't be touched by reformers. That's what I've learned at school.
We can talk shit and paint shit about each religion in public, make parodies of persons in every way without their permission in public, but painting fake children having sexual intercourse is illegal in private?
What kind of logic is that?
"In a recent case, after viewing the images in question, which were fully drawn at a computer, the court opined that the virtual child pornography images not in the sense of criminal law. "All images can be termed as (pornographic) (three dimensional) cartoons, animations, or drawings. The court concludes that the average viewer is immediately obvious that the event is not real and that the images are manipulated images and not realistic.""
And that's how it should be, in every country.
Real pedophiles, making porn and/or spreading it of children, should immediately be arrested and go to jail. Let them teach a lesson.
But people who like lolicon, who don't harm any children, but they just like the art of it or are enjoying cute imoutos at home, should be left alone.
The world got better things to do than arresting artists and fans, instead of real criminals or ongoing dumb wars!
P.S.: Before people are asking why I'm raging this much: Did I say this because I'm a lolicon fan myself? No, I love every kind of eroge as long as I like the story, no matter what genre.
I just can't stand seeing people making ridiculous laws for something's that fake instead of being busy with réál problems in every society.
