Period.

Well, beauty is entirely subjective. Some men are into BBW, for example.

Just because something is art that doesn't mean that anything goes.

I take no issue with either BBW, or those who like BBW.

Similarly/likewise, i demand no one takes issue with my likes. Especially so since they are under the tags of "fantasy" and "art".

Me neither, I was just mentioning an example to demonstrate that beauty is subjective.

But I do take issue with people that feel attracted by the image of minors, whether it is a real photo or "just art".

I'm sorry, what questions can I ask then?

you can always go back to original questions if you feel lost.

not to me though, its 5am here and this ♥♥♥♥ would likely be gone after i'm awake or somethin.

Well, it seems that you've missed the point of my post: no one here dictates what questions are allowed, people are free to ask whatever they want.

Ah I see. So they must follow international rules I guess.

Yeah I'm honestly starting to be worried these days that Japanese media is just gonna keep being more and more censored.

I guess I have no reason to be worried then?

i mean, there's a several alternate services trying to do whats right by artists... only worries i have is that they do not get enough attentions tbh.

I see. Well at least they're trying to do something good. We'll just have to see if they go mainstream.

Seems like Japan is trying to do less censorship while the west is trying to do more censorship.

you have missed the point of my post: the quesition that you asked have already answered store and the reason why this thread is up. i'm sorry that your nuke killstreak in cod somehow ruined you or something, but I frankly am not missing anything. if that makes you still ask dumb questions... which somehow puts those people who asks obvious questions that can be answered by google to shame... then please do continue to other people.

Well, I'm sorry but you are the one not being logical here. Do you think Steam would allow a game like this?

Steam has the game so yeah. Lmfaooo.

Not that one. The question was related to this post:

in fact it is opposite.... everything should be allowed as long as it doesn't harm any real people...

Well, if we go down that road... then you would be fine with a game where your objective is to rape babies. There are limits for everything and that applies even to games like GTA. Even though you're a criminal, there are many things you can't do in the game.

There is no difference, just because you have a bias against loli and a bias for gta doesn't change that. Fun for you may not be fun for someone else. If someone enjoys hentai and finds that fun who you to say anything about that? People have every right to enjoy hentai and have fun with it just like everyone has the right to have fun playing gta. You don't have to like loli/shota content but that doesn't mean you should demonize others for it.

Also you are actively saying saying that people enjoying loli are into something else trying to imply they are into real children obviously, but reality contradicts what you are saying completely not only with the videogames cause violence fiasco with data debunking this claim, but also there is no evidence of loli/shota causing real harm either. There are also other fetishs that are great examples as well, rape fantasies among women are popular yet you would be hard pressed to find any one of them that actually want to be raped irl. Watching or playing a loli/shota hentai game isn't going to make you go out and hurt people no matter how much people don't like it.

Yes its exactly what I'm implying, no sane adult finds interest in lolicon. Trying to downplay such nefarious garbage as casual fun is dishonest no one is watching hentai or porn like they're playing GTA or COD.

In addition to that, it's important to keep in mind that boys have always played "war" in real life.

Already illegal. See the laws that protect minors specifically.

Not really.

It requires it to be indistinguishable from a real minor.

[videomike_Ultimate_Plushie]

Because it's a fictional character and trying to judge the age of a fictional character in regards to acceptable context has a massive knock-on effect which would functionally ban all shorter-lived non-human characters like Salarians or Keidrenas or those udner the age of 18(because California) from even appearing in anything but the most bare-boned PG ♥♥♥♥?

It's the same as snuff films. I don't find Saw comfortable but it's still not real. Unless a child is actually hurt in filming, an identifiable person, meaning an actual real life person, there's no cost, it's just creepy like sadistic content of Saw.

Fictional depictions of characters is not illegal, so long as the character is fictional and not a representation of an actual person. It's the same law ad snuff films. You can draw fake rape, murder, manslaughter, etc, long as there are not identifiable, meaning tied to a real life person, you're all good.
