Perhaps Iām misinterpreting it and it is only blacklisted for non-users, in which case I think that should definitely be changed, or perhaps the upset user unintentionally removed loli from their blacklist or did not understand what it meant.
In any case, I donāt want to post content that will upset people, so I want to be absolutely sure that it is blacklisted by default for everyone.
It is not. I thought I saw threads with that tag, without searching for it, and I just did a quick click on the tag to double-check, and yeah, itās not blacklisted at all. My advice is to put [Loli/Shota] in the title. That way, thereās no confusion. I saw a thread with [Cub] for furry porn. Not overly familiar with the lingo for furry porn, but I suggest sticking to [Loli/Shota], as everyone will know what that is. [Shota] is less commonly used, and I feel like some people may not be aware of what it means, so if in doubt put [Loli/Shota], instead of just [Shota].
EDIT: When I say I checked the tag, I mean the threads that I thought I saw earlier that I thought might be Loli, appeared when I clicked on the tag. So anything that involves loli or shota content should be clearly labelled as such.
Well thatās upsetting, here I thought my controversial content was hidden from those who didnāt explicitly choose to see it. If any moderators or admins are reading this, I strongly suggest that we change the system so that all new users will have to remove the loli/ shota tags from their blacklist if they want to see that content, with an explanation that loli/shota refers to animated porn of fictional underage-looking characters.
And thanks for the advice, I will add Loli/Shota to the title of any topic that contains it.
From cursory research, I donāt think thereās a simple way to accomplish this Discourse, even if that was something we wanted to do. (though maybe thereās some creative solution I canāt think off the top of my head)
I understand, technical limitations canāt really be avoided. I donāt know enough about the siteās functionality to commentā¦ But maybe it could be managed by Discobot? I got a welcome notification when I signed up? Perhaps a message, or option should be included in the welcome message to automatically disable that content if you select yes? Or have Discobot give instructions on how to avoid loli/shota content? Iām spitballing, I really donāt know how feasible my suggestion is haha.
I think itās a different discussion when it comes to loli/shota content. Most content is pretty safe, but this is something that is illegal in some countries, which is where a lot of people are concerned. Especially as loli/shota content is so widespread, and because itās legal in a lot of places, it becomes murky, as itās something that can easily be accessed, even if said content is illegal in your country.
True. In South Korea, If the 2D character in pornography resembles a non-adult being, you can actually be sent to prison even you just own that content.
Some individual was actually sentenced 6 months jail time because he owned a pornography of an underage looking fictional character.
There is a popular NSFW artist called āKidmoā who drew a high school girl being sexually punished. Andā¦ he had to meet some law enforcers to get out of that situation. (I think he got out by paying a fine or community service for as a punishment )
Somehow South Korea is still being very strict to pornography. I can only think of japan when we talk about Asian culture thatās open to sex. No other country has the atmosphere where people can freely enjoy their porn.
Out of curiosity I searched the āfurryā tag, and tags that I had blacklisted still pop up. It seems like if you search a specific tag it will show everything that has that tag, even if it has other tags that you blacklisted.
Itās all good, thank you for being respectful. I completely understand why youāre wary of the content in question and even the people who consume it, and as long as you donāt conflate people who enjoy fictional content with actual child predators I have no issue with your viewpoint.
Perhaps thatās something that should be changed then. Otherwise there is no point in even muting certain tags if youāre just going to see them anyways.
I donāt conflate everyone enjoying āloliā porn to child predators. At the same time though child predators would likely enjoy this content, so thatās where the topic becomes an issue for me. Especially in the furry fandom which is a very sexual group of people and dominantly LGBTQ+, rates of actual pedophilia are bound to be a lot higher than the general population. Unfortunately thatās a fact, whether or not you want to agree with it.
āEspecially in the furry fandom which is a very sexual group of people and dominantly LGBTQ+, rates of actual pedophilia are bound to be a lot higher than the general population.ā
Do you have any evidence to support this so-called fact? Have there been any studies linking the consumption of animated loli porn to the likelihood of being a child predator? Like I agree that child predators would be much more likely to enjoy this content, but thatās a completely different statement than āpeople who enjoy this content are more likely to be child predatorsā. Correlation =/= causation.
I suppose the connection was that someone enjoying this content would probably be furry, correct? There are plenty of places that will say the demographics of the furry fandom are overwhelmingly LGBTQ+. Then from there my connection is that the LGBTQ+ community accounts for a disproportionate amount of pedophilia cases compared to their percent of the population. There are a ton of places I could reference that have statistics on that as well. So yes, not every single person enjoying the content will be a child predator, but it is certainly more likely than someone enjoying porn that is straight and/or āmore mature lookingā people or characters. This argument will quickly go in circles though. Just donāt fuck kids, thatās all. If you choose to want to watch weird, animated porn of people that happen to look like children thatās on you. Iām done making my own comments on this because it doesnāt matter to anyone and is just wasting our time. Anyone into this that truly is a pedophile will eventually get whatās coming to them.
I didnāt think this was a waste of time, I thought this was a healthy debate and I think you brought up a lot of good points. Other users reading our conversation may learn something from it too. I genuinely did not know that there was any sort of correlation between the LGBTQ+ community and likelihood of sexual child abuse; I now know I need to do some research on that. At this point I think weāre mostly on the same page: donāt fuck kids, child predators are evil, and just because someone enjoys fantasizing about something does not mean that they have any desire to do anything more than that. I applaud you for being respectful throughout this discussion and wish you the best.
