🥳🥳🥳🥳 it's like a bar mitzvah for websites really.
Anyway I think we should stop talking about this like staff took a pro-lolicon stance when what they actually said is "please do not post lolicon, also we want community feedback on what the exact policy should be and how we frame it"
so maybe we don't need to give community feedback the same way we would dogpile on someone who actually had a bad take. This is literally three people who have mental health and aren't some big corporation, and asked for you opinion on an open and transparent manner.
I think it's easier to resolve disputes when we assume we all kinda want the same thing in the end which is a website that is good. We just gotta have discussions about how we do that and that's normal and disagreement is super normal and it's even okay to get a little heated and emotional about it. But maybe! The response to "I want your feedback on this" shouldn't be "fuck you and die you should have agreed with me already from the get-go before you even asked what I thought"
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to allow lolicon/shota/whatever. It's illegal in most countries which could cause a lot of issues with the ability to host Adult Content generally plus would require a lot of coding for geolocking that can be easily bypassed by a VPN anyway. It's also ethically dubious, and would give the site a bad reputation as a haven for some pretty reprehensible content, and attract a lot of people we maybe don't want!
But, also, I don't think acting like Twitter User Goku @OutingPredators is very cool! I think it's very uncool and fosters a pretty toxic community environment. Don't be Goku @OutingPredators. I think we should draw a pretty thick fense of like, we do not allow lolishowhatever but that's it. There's lots of fetish stuff I find pretty uncomfortable to see, but I don't think we should get in the game of regulating any of it beyond requiring it be properly tagged and depicting adults. Sexualized drawings of people being decapitated aren't illegal or unethical they just make me extremely uncomfortable and I don't personally want to see it, but that's a me problem. I also don't like smut where it looks like people are getting too sticky with cum and such but there's nothing wrong with that either.
Thanks for reading and considering my opinions :) I hope you can read this in good faith and correctly assume this is not me trying to defend pedophilia :)
