I was there, when left/liberal leaning people in fandoms denounced loli/shota/cub/whatever in the mid 2010’s, mainly thanks to the Shädbase v. Keemstar drama, but also allegedly some leftist lolicons were frequenting pro-pedophile forums.

It did not help victims. It did not help anything good.

It instead created a safe-space for fascists in fandom spaces, by just vaguely signaling any interest towards the material, and by leftists treating it like literally Satan.

And also created a good surface for salami-tactics, since how frequent it is in anime. During the whole Vaush folder reveal drama it came to my mind, that those accounts could have been done by either tankies to get rid of the “anarkiddies” (whom they hate more than actual fascists), or the fascists themselves.

About the “normalizing” argument: I’ve seen the same arguments used for body hair removal, small breasts, etc. Even remember seeing some Tumblr post about “how to stop looking and sounding pedobait”.

You can say fuck on the internet…

Bi guy here. Why I had to be born in Hungary, where trans rights are scarce, so I can’t get myself a cute trans GF? 😢 Now I have to hunt down the few non-bigoted Hungarian cis women (harder than it sounds like, esp. in more remote areas).

Kids: “So you care about us?”

Conservatives: “Shut up you little kid, you have the duty to take care of your parents even if they’re awful to you, and to learn a lot in school!”

Young adults: “So we can get college degrees?”

Conservatives: “No you stupid idiot, even if you graduate with top grades, you have to go to learn trades instead, our donors have finally automated the job of intellectuals!”

Workers: “So you’re pro-worker? Will the AI mean less work for us?”

Conservatives: “No you lazy idiot, you will have to work like in China’s 996 system, all while we gut the remaining job security under you!”

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Terrorist states love using rape as terror. There’s at least two at this moment, Israel and Russia.

3 more years of diarrhea, because people think the slop generating machines are finally making “AI gems”…

While I’ve seen my fair share of rapist who got rehabilitated, I do not think this one will be able to, especially as those who do it as a form of punishment (which it was from the limited details) are really hard to cooperate with.

If someone is high on drugs and/or drunk, does that also mean I can rob them without consequences, or the rule only applies for rape?

Get ready for a very suspicious winning of the 2/3 of the seats, and immediate move to rewrite the constitution to an undemocratic one, with a very Orwellian definition of “separation of church and state” and “freedom of speech”.

Why do people say “spoopy” instead of “spooky”?

If it is because “spook is a slur” (if I recall correctly, tankies pushed for it because people read The Ego and His Own, and then the “nice spooks nerd!” meme happened), then will we renaming traps to be something else thanks to 4chan gay bamboozle jokes?

Seeing the Ukraine-flag colored face mask, this hat to be a troll, to make the left look bad.

Police fans say the same thing about the police.

Is that lab owned by the Zontik (зонтик) Corporation?

The joke is alcoholism.

Some devices are files too under WinNT, with very funky paths.

Then stop the Iran war, Dementia Don!

Metric haters when they realize their electricity is measured in Volts (metric unit), not in “relatable” units like Sparks:

Now can the IFPI treat genAI vendors as “commercialized piracy outlets”?

When I first got into emulation as a very early teen, I’ve heard a rumor about an admin of an Amiga ROM site being shot to death for piracy. However, nothing similar comes to against those who do it on an industrial scale, specifically to destroy a portion of the human experience.
