A Round Of Applause
it seems it been an issue for a few years too, that’s crazy
I'm reading comments today so you might see a couple of replies from me. Take a look at the reply I made on lilmomo's comment a bit below this one. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Based on your comment, it seems that you believe real world morals unequivocally is analogous to ficticious morals.
well… yes because why would you find something to be morally wrong irl but have no issue looking at other forms of material simply because it’s fictional and brings no harm to anyone. it’s already a moral issue that people are okay with producing and circulating material with literal children and even more so that people dismiss it as a non issue because it’s not real. not only that, but it’s contradictory that you get to pick and choose what’s right or wrong when it benefits you or anyone who does these things. like yeah i can read, glorify (use as a banner on your platform), and totally get off of this (not you personally cause idk you) because it’s not real but it’s terrible if it happens irl, like what? makes your “real world” morals seem disingenuous.
This
"because why would you find something to be morally wrong irl but have no issue looking at other forms of material simply because it’s fictional and brings no harm to anyone...." Well...the same way I can watch 'Breaking Bad' and support the main characters who are meth dealers, or support Eren from "Attack on Titain" with his genocide, or support the teens of assassins on 'Assasination Classroom' who are trying to kill their teacher.... or supporting Omniman who's willing to f*** up his own son because of his beliefs....(not everyone is going to agree with the character's choices but at the end of the day...they're fictional characters) (sigh)
so what would be your reasoning for supporting an artist or author for creating material with child pornography? while eren did do terrible things, the majority of the people don’t agree with his actual crimes themselves but the reasoning, overall goals, as well as the message behind them. i don’t even support eren using genocide as a means to reach his goal. (i dont watch bb have haven’t finished assassination classroom). so whats the reason or message behind pedophilic art? nothing. it’s simply porn content for pedophiles, that is what you are if you enjoy and reuse such content. it is vastly different from the shows you’re mentioning and i don’t think it makes a good comparison honestly because you’re comparing fictional stories that are meant to convey meaningful, educational messages to its audience while the other is created solely for the entertainment and sexual gratification of its audience. two different things.
"i don’t think it makes a good comparison honestly because you’re comparing fictional stories that are meant to convey meaningful, educational messages to its audience while the other is created solely for the entertainment and sexual gratification of its audience."....who determines that? Is it not up to the reader/watcher? I don't see a deeper meaning or educational messages in a lot of stories but you do. I see deeper meaning and meaningful purpouse in some stories but you don't. Does that make your opinion right and mine wrong?
yeah but this is uhhh a different issue than all of the examples u mentioned ??
if you’re not seeing clear messages in stories then you are either actively choosing not to, don’t care, or aren’t that smart, maybe it might not relate to you in any way. but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still there for its audience, you not understanding it doesn’t change its presence in the story. the end of aot literally shows war in modern time which goes to show that even 1000 years later and even with titans being destroyed, war still persists between humans. it’s practically thrown at your face so if you didn’t get that then idk what to tell you. and all you’re doing is quoting phrases in my own comments but aren’t answering the very first sentence. does that mean you find a deeper and meaningful purpose in pedophilic art? is that what you’re alluding to? why are you supporting, because you are reusing it if it’s of your banner so are therefore supporting, content containing child pornography?
you’ve covered most of my thoughts about this topic very eloquently. thank you.
Ah, you did not see my other replies. I think you’re jumping on the bandwagon here because I’ve stated multiple times that my banners are of an 18yr old Deku. I don’t know where you’re from but where I’m from an 18yr old is not a minor. And yes I quoted certain statements I wanted to reply to from your comment. Your main argument is on how you believe the character’s looks override every other aspect of them. If that is all it takes for you to throw accusations around then…..we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
Icarus…are you being obtuse on purpose? there’s no way you didn’t get what readers have been telling you so plain & simple. any representation of child pornography, real or fictional, direct or indirect, real or not is not only ethically wrong, but also morally disgusting to the point of no return. using that image as your banner suggests you support or perhaps even enjoy such content.
