But unless you can prove that all or most people who are into that kind of thing will rape children, your point is moot. In most instances, ogling (not 'peeping')or fantasizing are not illegal. Not unless you somehow act on your urges or otherwise violate somebody else's rights. And that is morally wrong even when the targets/victims are adults, so the age factor is not really relevant in this instance. HarlockHero wrote:
Agreed. If people were to be punished for what they might do, we'd all be in jail for one reason or the other. Just because someone likes a particular something does not necessarily mean they will actually indulge in it. And unless someone can prove that exposure to A has a direct and determinable ability to influence somebody to carry out A, it is self-aggrandizing to insist otherwise. Not that I believe in promoting or justifying paedophilia: I think it's sick. But if these people are not breaking any local laws or hurting anyone (other than themselves), their fetishes are really none of our business. And really, how many among us can say that we do not have our own fetishes or interests that someone else somewhere would claim to be immoral? |

What I don't get is why this magazine thinks giving away a pair of panties is going to help promote them when you could probably buy a whole pack of panties on the Internet cheaper than you could buy this magazine and most of their subscribers probably already have panties.

But, turning your causality around, people who are into that kind of thing are not necessarily people who rape children. For all you know, a good lot of them are just whacking away in a little room because they don't have the will to leave the house anyway, much less stalk an actual child. |

Sex sells. Period. Whether its sex with a child...

You seem to have missed my point entirely. I made no comment that people who are into lolipron will rape children. I only stated that people who rape children were obviously interested in children in the first place (you have it the other way around). I said, "People who rape children are people who are into that kind of thing, of course." I didn't say people who look at lolipron are going to rape children, I only stated that the people who DO rape children are people who were interested in children in the first place. It's pretty clear-cut (and makes a big difference which way you put the "means" and the "ends"). Regarding the precrime deal, yes I did of course and was considering that while I wrote it in my response. I understand the whole point of it was you can't impose judgment on things that can't be proven until they actually happen (and could be false without knowing it). It was really just kind of a joke and I saw some relatedness so I added it, but honestly, I think they should have kept the precrime at the end of the story. I do understand there is an abuse in people's rights, but based on how many people are saved (crime went down like what, 95% in the movie thanks to it?), they really should have reconsidered. I think one exception, although many might argue otherwise, is acceptable because of the hundreds of thousands of others that were saved. But that's just assuming nobody else messed with the system again. Just my opinion. *puts and straightens out rails back on thread* |

Has anyone else actually seen the panties? They have a really cute little image on em. (I think. It may just be a separate image overlayed on it, it's hard to tell.)

There are many families traumatised beyond repair, and children lying in their graves here in the UK because of paedo-psychos who had just a casual interest that later turned into tragic actions because they couldn't keep it inside anymore. To openly boast about it on an internet forum is just stupid if it’s a joke, and detestable if for real. I for one am not interested to know about someones sick disgusting habits and it just lowers the tone and credibility of the site by having such life forms associeated with it. I wouldn’t want to be the owner of a website known for having paedophiles openly boast that they “find nothing wrong with having sex with young children. These people are worst than intestinal worms. (Ugh! Just the thought makes me want to gag).

========================================
Fui: I wouldn't say it's close to acting on it, though, but it does open up the possibility of acting on it. People who rape children are people who are into that kind of thing, of course. Thus, naturally we want to minimize the people that have that kind of sick interest in society. ======================================== Agent Wax: But unless you can prove that all or most people who are into that kind of thing will rape children, your point is moot. In most instances, ogling (not 'peeping')or fantasizing are not illegal. Not unless you somehow act on your urges or otherwise violate somebody else's rights.

I misunderstood you when you said "that kind of thing", which I took to mean Lolicon. My bad. ========================================== Observe the 1st paragraph in its entirety. He clearly does mean Lolicon from way he goes on to say that 'Thus, naturally we want to minimize the people that have that kind of sick interest in society'. 'That kind of thing' is clearly what he is referring to in his second sentence on 'that kind of sick interest'. You didn't quote the entirety of his paragraph. You misunderstand nothing. Your points about the separation of thought and action are also relevent as he is clearly is associating lolicons with those who are likely to commit paedophalic crimes. He may say that not all Lolicons commit these crimes but he clearly believes that they are likely to do so as they have such thoughts. Indeed from the posts by Fui, it is clear that he supports such an ideal as well. That for having such thoughts constitutes precrime and that precrime should be punishable to him as it brings about greater good for society. Priestess_Sally |

Hey wildarmsheero, you really don't understand why you're f.ucked up? *shrugs* Well, first off, you were sexually abused as a child. That sexual abuse screwed up the way your brain works, changing the way you interact with people, attracting you to incest pornagraphy (and the like) that eventually lead to your attraction to children. Wildarmsheero, tell me if this sounds familier. You get into a fight with some prick. You go to swing at him, but instead you freeze up, can't move, and he knocks you down. Did you ever wonder why you froze up?
Read this,and pay attention to "Health and/or Behavioral Problems" and "Crime". wildarmsheero, I seem to recall you saying something along the lines of, "What so bad about be attracted to children"? This is from the website... "Sexual abuse touches every life when it leads to eating disorders, substance abuse, suicide, promiscuity/prostitution, and other psychobehavioral issues" get some therapy. Takes one to know one |

"thez guyz r sik!!11111one I hope they get bombed!111one" and the like somehow has less of an impact than an actual discussion about whether or not the pursuit of lolicon products is a sign of a mental illness. Not like I feel a bunch of anime otaku on an internet message board are really qualified to make judgements of character (suddenly everyone's a mental health expert), especially based on anecdotal evidence (at best) and a news story, but let's at least pretend we're rational, 'kay?
Obviously the whole panties thing is in poor taste, but you can purchase children's underwear anywhere they sell clothes. Stop judging people as criminals before they commit crimes. Potential crime isn't crime until it becomes - you guessed it! - crime. |

Well, it's not just the lolipron but the fact that in some situations it could act as a psychological bridge. The panties are a real item that are functional and represent a more physical representation of the act and obsession where as the magazine at least still maintains a degree of fantasy by itself. Sometimes that's all it takes and I see how little good can come from such a thing.

1. This is not your intenet, it is all of ours. 2. Is his thoughts sick? I would say yes. 3. Is it illegal for him to have these thoughts and should be kicked out of the forum? Not in any western civilization that I know of. Now don't get me wrong, I personally believe that loilicon is morally wrong. But that said, I haven't seen any sort of an uproar about other hentai that include what would be illegal elements in real life. Why do you believe that loilicon is sick? Is it because it has something that would be morally and legally wrong in real life? If so then do you also think Bandage/rape, Tentical Rape, & Incest Hentai are also all just as sick? And if so, why haven't you called for the banning of people on this forum that enjoy these? Or what about fantasies. Have you ever fantasied about someone that it would be morally wrong to be with? (aka someone who is married) If so, are you not also guilty of the same things that you are accusing wildarmsheero of? I do not watch any lolicon and I believe it to be immoral. I also belive most hentai (and porn for that matter) to be immoral. But I do not think that it should be illegal just because it is immoral. Back to the original start of this topic. I think this advertisment by this manga company was bad and very distastefull. But I am afraid that this will be less likely to end in a backlash against Lolicon and more then likely push the line of what is considered exceptable more towards Loilicon. One last thought. Instead of shouting wildarmsheero down and calling him sick, maybe this would be a good oppertunity to pick his brain and find out why someone with these desires is the way they are. |
