pika will be disappointed

Maybe that's where he went

Flew to Seattle to protest at Valve HQ

didn't want to get us involved in his crusade

doesn't steam have Region specific distribution?

some areas, mostly various states in the US, allow loli content

damn pedophiles in the government

Steam's in Japan

loli's legal there

and they wonder why their birthrate is down

tbh I'm on the same page as pika. Loli =/= pedophilia

fiction isn't real

But it encourages it

no not really

Keep telling yourself that

that's like saying violent video games make you violent, gent

Eh, aggressive sure

people don't masturbate to violent games tyoically

I compare it more to cryptography If I can; using a piece of paper and pencil, write/draw something I don't see how that can be made illegal

As if words and symbols don't mean anything

true, but a seller can refuse to distribute it

This is always what I think of, back when the US banned certain strengths of encryption in the 90s

Different subjects

But see, I'm legitimately able to understand the math behind RSA

So if I wanted to, I could; using a piece of paper, write out a hash/salt table

RSA isn't really that complicated

And create "illegal encryption"

it's not, but that's what they banned in the 90s

And that's entirely different

they banned the basic example used for teaching encryption FailFish

An artist is able to; using a piece of paper, draw a loli

creating "illegal art"

A child, yes

It's not real though. it's a work of fiction gent

I can't get over the idea that I can create something, using my mind, and by putting that to paper have it be illegal

only someone stupid or easily impressionable would be encouraged to go after real children, just because of a piece of fiction

or the mentally ill

people are very stupid

It's a reflection of what our society accepts

It's always when they come after your video games and porn

gent there are books and movies and pieces of art that depict criminal acts and yet those are allowed to exist

what

Do you think I approve of all those?

Status quo arguments

what

bopit if you don't understand the subject then shut up

how do

no the bot

Talking gives you exp

p!silence to turn that off

You need to pick a starter pokémon using the start command before using this command!

start

I'll do this in general actually

Do it in the bot channel

I want to see my level rpogression

bot channel Bopit

good idea

I forgot that existed

either way gent, I'm all for freedom of speech and expression, so games/art/movies/etc, as pieces of fiction and expression, I believe they should be allowed no matter the subject of it. it's the consumers choice to view it, and it's the consumers fault if they're retarded enough to try doing something from fiction, in real life.

And that's when you find yourself defending james gunn and the rest of those hollywood pedos

Again gent, fiction and reality are different. I wouldn't defend a real life pedophile.

There would be less real life pedos without the outlet of fiction

I don't think so

You say that when it goes against something you enjoy

There are plenty of pedo's who aren't the way they are just because of a piece of fiction

Not an argument

There are people that are into stuff like lolis that wouldn't go after real children

Does it have an affect?

"But not all"

It has an effect on the mentally ill or those who were already susceptible to developing that behavior yes.

but you can't say it's the root cause

You're trying to blanket people into being pedos just for being into lolis, so you're hurting your argument just as much as you're trying to effect ours

No, you don't even need to have an overt mental illness

It can be gradual, it can be minuscule, but it is harmful all the same

I would also go as far to say that content like this pacifies real pedophiles, by giving them an outlet.

not all of them of course.
