Discussion: Banned for Foalcon/Lolicon/Shotacon
Recently I’ve been seening quite a few blogs getting shut down for sexual depictions of underage characters (albeit only fictional ones). In response to people who object to Tumblr staff for doing so, I’d like to say that this is justified.
While I think this sort of material is somewhat pedophilic and therefore avoid posting it, even if those who post it do not have ethical concerns, Tumblr still has its Community Guidelines that prohibit “harm to minors.” So the site is well within its power to remove such content.
Granted, I’m not the one reporting these blogs, but I think this is something to keep in mind if you post such material.
You can access this through the short URL /t/konpurekkusu (“konpurekkusu” [katakana コンプレックス] being the Japanese translation/transliteration of “complex” in such terms as “lolicon” [“Lolita complex”]).
finally nice to see someone else on here who reports child porn
Uh…If you didn’t read it carefully enough the first time, I state that I don’t report any of these blogs.
Also, I’d like to point out that, even though I agree with you that lolicon is (or should be) legally considered child pornography, my ethical view is a bit qualified from that. You can read a TL;DR version of my posts on this issue, but the super-TL;DR version is: The psychology behind lolicon is more than mere pedophilia, but I have my own standards, so it’s not for me.
