Thank you for your valuable feedback. I want to clarify upfront that I’m writing this to foster constructive discussion.
I understand that regulations are necessary measures to sustain the site. If that’s the case, then all posts containing links that infringe copyright should also be deleted.
Is it acceptable to ban lolicon and shotacon while allowing posts with copyright-infringing links? I consider this a double standard.
Additionally, if lolicon and shotacon are banned, I believe that rape, bestiality, incest, and furry content in Hentai should also be regulated.
However, personally, I do not agree with banning lolicon, shotacon, rape, bestiality, incest, and furry content. This is because they are fictional. If the argument is that these creations violate morals and should be regulated, I cannot accept that rationale. They are just drawings.
The moderator stated, “Visuals depicting prepubescent features, characteristics, or scenarios are not allowed. However, due to the fictional nature, there are always exceptional cases. Ultimately, moderators will make the final decision.”
In Japan, lolicon content sold explicitly states in the descriptions that characters are over 18, even if they appear prepubescent in visuals and scenarios. Additionally, how would fictional races like elves, which are not human, be judged? The only difference from humans is whether they have significantly longer lifespans and longer ears.
I do not agree with moderators having the final say. Clear standards are necessary.
Alternatively, should we interpret these measures as regulations being applied but with a gray area going forward?
I perceive these regulations as censorship, hence my use of the term ‘violation of freedom of expression’
