We should defederate from lemmynsfw (kbin.social)

The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

So if I draw some random character having sex, and then label them as "15 years old", it's now illegal? What kind of insane nonsense is that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idiots will look at obviously mature anime characters and then cry at the canonical age being 15. but in the same breath cry about characters who are canonically adults merely for looking young/youthful. it's hypocritical and idiotic.

It gets even crazier in the furry world. People arguing over whether the animated bird is under or over 18. It's like wtf.

if the bird has boobs it's an adult, clearly /s

I don't know any case law, but probably!

I think it's usually not too much of a legal concern, but it's also not uncommon for people to draw lewds of characters from shows that are canonically underage (see: Prisma Ilya, who is 10/11 in that spinoff series, although "18" in other Fate series). That would certainly be illegal.

But either way, it definitely creeps people out, and it's usually best to avoid doing things that make people want to stay away from you like that.

That would certainly be illegal.

If that's the case then the law is nonsense.

and it’s usually best to avoid doing things that make people want to stay away from you like that.

So that means I shouldn't defend anyone doing something legal and without hurting anyone? No thanks

doing something legal

I mean it's explicitly illegal in this case.

But I'm only talking about what's best for lemmynsfw and kbin. I don't personally think loli/shota porn is particularly dangerous for children (and, if anything, potentially gives those people a non-harmful constructive outlet) but I also don't get to choose which pearls most people decide to clutch.

Maybe it's illegal where you live. But that's on you. Lots of things are stupidly illegal in lots of places. Do we ban those everywhere too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The place where you live is less relevant than the place where kbin lives. The servers are bound by the law of the country where they exist. If something on kbin violates Iranian law, no big deal. If something on kbin violates Polish law, big deal. If it violates US law but not Polish law, that's only a big deal if you as a user are US based.

Fwiw I'm in this thread for discussing policies of Lemmy instances, not ethics of rule of law.
