(Anonymous) 2019-08-30 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)If you don't even wince or bat an eye over fic of toddlers having sex, there's something very wrong with you or you're edgy as shit.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-30 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)I'm saying this as someone that is flat-out horrified at the thought of that kind of fic. I just don't care that it exists or that people write it. It has nothing to do with me.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-30 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)What the fuck does this even mean? I'm not rounding up a fucking crusade hunt against people who write this stuff, all I'm saying is there's something wrong with people who, when they come across this shit, shrug their shoulders or engage with it favorably or defend people who write it. Sparing a "wow, that's seriously fucked, this writer probably has issues and I'm going to avoid them" thought is not hard, anon.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 12:03 am (UTC)(link)What you were looking for was to sneer derisively at people that understand that moralizing about fiction doesn't change the fact that it's there, and we don't have the right to tell anyone to stop. It's not illegal. They are, objectively, not doing anything wrong.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 01:39 am (UTC)(link)Fiction and fantasy interact with reality. Such a fix could be predictive of deviant behavior when coupled with a plethora of other factors, but not by itself. This has been investigated at length by a plethora of criminological and psychological research and there is no definitive answer to it. Reality is just not that simple.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 02:15 am (UTC)(link)You can keep screaming about how everyone has the right to do whatever they want in fiction, but the line should be drawn when it involves children. There is no justifiable reason for there to be PWP or doujins about kids getting fucked, you could just as easily make everything feature adult characters. The fact that they're specifically choosing to fetishize children is cause for concern. If I found out my neighbor or friend was writing or collecting porn about children, I would probably cut ties with that person because there's just no excusable reason for someone to be into that shit and raises major red flags. And don't hide behind the "it's legal!!" BS, shotacon and lolicon is illegal in my country. Laws are all relative.
Frankly, I don't see why people like you defend this subject in the first place. You say it disgusts you, yet you're devil's advocating far too hard here for someone who apparently isn't invested in the topic. Banning or calling out people who dabble in fictional CP is not going to hurt your other kinks that don't involve children, anon.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 12:29 am (UTC)(link)First, what a tired joke argument; the age of consent isn't even 13 in Japan because every prefecture has its own laws about it. Second, have you ever heard of Romeo and Juliet laws (the reason for Japan's meaningless nationwide age of consent at 13)?
Third, stop being obtuse. No one in this thread has defended extreme underage as morally upright in any way, shape, or form. The other anon has said multiple times that they find it horrifying and fucked up and that's still somehow not good enough for you.
So what would be?
You have to acknowledge that defending the right write fiction will mean defending fiction that you, personally, find morally objectionable. That's just the way this works. That doesn't mean the defense of fiction is morally bankrupt, because when people lose the ability to express themselves freely, it never stops at just "the things I find morally objectionable" or "the fucked up shit".
And this isn't even a slippery slope argument. Even if we very strictly limited the creation of fiction that involved children in sexual scenarios with adults, people would lose the ability to write stories based on their own lives and experiences. Even if we say it's just about fiction that "romanticizes" or "glorifies" it, who decides that? Two people can read the same story and come away with very different interpretations.
So yeah, extreme underage is fucked up and turns my stomach. I would like it to stay as far away from me as possible. I will still defend people's right to write it, because I shouldn't have the power to decide what people get to write. You shouldn't either.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 01:16 am (UTC)(link)I do think it's morally wrong for people to do it in a way that's fetishistic, and I think people should use their best judgment in considering whether or not they ought to do it, and I personally have no interest in ever interacting on a social level with someone who does do it, because I think that it's a morally repulsive thing to do.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 02:29 am (UTC)(link)If you don't think that the fiction needs to be banned, what's the point in posting an incendiary comment about people defending the right to create such fiction?
Defending someone's right to do something =/= signing off on it morally.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 02:29 am (UTC)(link)Because it smacks as being dishonest when they go this far to defend its existence in the first place. And for what? What does anon lose if fictional CP is no longer allowed? If they supposedly don't care for it, then why are they (and you) trying THIS hard to defend it? Normally when I don't care for something, I don't spend hours of precious time devil's advocating for it.
So what would be?
Not defending its existence and then bringing up legality as though that means shit.
Even if we very strictly limited the creation of fiction that involved children in sexual scenarios with adults, people would lose the ability to write stories based on their own lives and experiences. Even if we say it's just about fiction that "romanticizes" or "glorifies" it, who decides that? Two people can read the same story and come away with very different interpretations.
Pretty sure there is no grey area when it comes to just straight up PWP about 5 year old Sam Winchester getting fucked by his brother. There is a huge difference between touching briefly on dark subject matter in order to develop a character or explain a character's motives and going on a porn kink meme, writing porn about a child character getting graphically raped or fucked by an adult for the purpose of titillation, and then receiving comments like "this is so hot, write moar plox".
Speaking as someone who has no issue with porn featuring fucked up shit as long as it pertains to adults (because at the end of the day, when you remove all the fucked up shit, it's still basically someone jerking it to an adult character they're attracted to and there's nothing wrong with that), I see no reason to be defending fictional CP this vehemently. Most of society in general agrees that fucked shit happening to adults in fiction is fair game and wouldn't suddenly ban, idk, BDSM or rape kink if fictional CP was banned. Do you think if CP got banned that your other kinks would be compromised? Is that why you're going this hard in defending it?

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 04:55 am (UTC)(link)Not defending its existence and then bringing up legality as though that means shit.
There are a lot of different vectors of "not being allowed to do something". Actual, literal government intervention is the most extreme version of this. For the sake of this discussion, I haven't been concerned with what the government decides is acceptable, and I wasn't the anon who first brought up legality.
What I am a lot more concerned with is when people collectively decide to bully others for producing content they don't like. What I get particularly up in arms about is people who send death and rape threats to people who've produced content they don't like.
Fic with kids in sexual situations is morally repugnant, but as long as it's strictly fictional, no one in real life harmed by that shit. As long as everything's properly tagged and warned, anyone who would be harmed by consuming the content can avoid it.
Using moralistic arguments to bludgeon people inherently harms real life people. And worse, people flock to fucking new age bullies and tell them they're doing the world a service. Not exactly what I'd call morally upright behavior.
So yeah, thanks for the not-so-subtle implication that I'm somehow a pedophile because I think people should be left alone even if they're writing morally objectionable shit. Really proved my point there.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-13 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)Because at some point, somewhere, someone will decide that m/m or f/f fiction is disgusting and should be banned?
Or I just happen to think that whoever gets their rocks off by either writing or reading stuff like that, should have a right to get their rocks off in a way that has nothing to do with real people? Those come to my mind the first...

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 01:00 am (UTC)(link)It seems to me that, if you believe that something is morally wrong, it follows that you think that people who engage in that activity are doing something wrong, and you do have a right (within reasonable limits of politeness and so forth) of expressing your opinion that it is morally wrong and they should stop. I'm not really sure what remains of morality as a concept if you eliminate those two ideas.
Now, I guess it's a different story if the question is whether we can force people to stop. Or if we can use legal, political means to enforce our moral views. But telling people that they are doing something wrong and should stop doing it is not at all the same as forcing them to stop. Similarly, it's true that believing that something is wrong does not necessarily make that belief objectively true. But it's possible to have moral beliefs that you take seriously and act on without necessarily believing that those beliefs are objective facts about the world.
That's how it seems to me, anyway. I'm just really confused about this idea you have of morality.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 08:07 am (UTC)(link)And this may not be a crusade, but to be honest, I don't trust you and the likes of you to not support a crusade hunt against those people or at least stand by and do nothing when someone else decides to crusade hunt them.
Fiction is not reality, and until you have any proof that any of those people do anything wrong in real life, you can fuck off with your moral outrage and judgement of people who refuse to follow you there.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-31 08:01 am (UTC)(link)Otoh, I am judging you for pretending that you're somehow morally superior to people who refuse to pass judgement on other people without any kind of evidence.
People like you remind me too much of conservative christian groups (fanatics) to care for your opinion, but I am more than happy to occasionally call out your bullshit, since it deserves a call out more than any fan fiction on that anon meme.
