Defederate lemmynsfw.com? (self.lemmyworld)

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.

It's not the assault, violence or having a victim making them a pedophile. It's the attraction to minors. It doesn't matter if fictional or real, they are pedophiles.

Many of them probably even act in it, e.g. masturbation.

It's reprehensible but if they're not really acting on it, as in harming someone else (masturbation, really?), then why should it be a crime and the state be involved? What are you suggesting is that the mere thought of it, involving fictional people at that, should be a crime. Are we certain we want thoughtcrime?

That sort of vilification only makes them more likely to hide instead of seeking professional help. Why would they, if doing so would open them to ostracization?

You are jumping to conclusions here. Also just thinking of extremes is not helpful. Acting on your desires to perform sexual acts with children is absolutely pedophilic behavior. So masturbating is just that. It is not just a thought, it is an action. Even though non pedophiles don't even have these thoughts without disgust.

Just ask yourself, would you ever be comfortable leaving a child alone with someone who sexualizes children? My answer would be absolutely not, they are pedophiles and a huge risk to the childs safety.

How to solve this or manage the risk is another way more complicated topic.
