DrewTheDoofus said: NAMBLA exists too. It doesn't make it right. Child porn is a sin, whether it's drawn or real. I somehow missed this post before. Too bad for you that there is no such thing as drawn child porn then. |

Baman said: "other than to not have stupid moralistic laws that punish people who inflict no harm on anyone." sooooo... no harm done means no wrong done? so we can take from the rich! and it should be LEGAL too huh?ironicatheist said: Do you know what "scientific" means? If so, you should understand that one personal story isn't worth shit as far as science goes.ok! here's the scientific evidence: Besides, it's most likely not the fact that your mother had sex with you nearby that you have problems with, but the fact that it's not socially acceptable in your environment. Anyways, I don't see what fairness have to do with the subject here, other than to not have stupid moralistic laws that punish people who inflict no harm on anyone. And jobs and racial discrimination? What the hell does that have to do with anything? If you are going to post, at least try not to derail the thread further. And if you're having a mental breakdown or something, just stop posting, that's no excuse to keep making nonsensical double posts. also "other than to not have stupid moralistic laws that punish people who inflict no harm on anyone." umm the ones who punish ppl for HARM to others are the MORALLY based laws... the ones your mentioning like the ones that do no harm to others, are the fairness based ones... like i said if i took money out of YOUR wallet without YOUR consent, would you want the law to support me doing that? that is to say would you want the law to NOT arrest me if you proved i did that? my point is not all laws are there for morality, there all there for 1 specific reason either way there based... they are made to stop ppl from being unfair, it is unfair to steal, or to infringe upon someones owned rights... so yea lolicon is ok if it is of no copyright infringement, and if it is not a drawing of a person who exists, whether someone gets hurt doesn't matter in this case, but instead the consideration of whether that person wants there drawing to exist or not... for example i don't want someone to Photoshop a picture of me sucking a dick, and that should be respected... you need consent when it comes to someone else, the reason they say what you do with your own body is your own choice, is because if you do something to yourself and your mentally stable then you obviously consented to it... if you go against consent i am justified to go against yours! sure we can do anything we choose, but it's like the guy who goes into walmart with a gun, and starts shooting at ppl, sure he can do that, but nobody is going to allow him to finish and leave and continue doing it... |

When did this topic resurface? If it isn't real, I don't think they should be punished. Monitored possibly, but not prosecuted, it may seem bad to do so, but letting the government arrest people for thought crimes is down right wrong, and scary. It should not be done. |

Yeah I kinda agree with you there First of all isn't it technically art? who cares what the subject matter is While I'm not actually a fan of it but anime-lolis are not exactly something to get crazy about. And what? watching loli will eventually lead to a pedophile lifestyle? Haven't people already know these type of anime fan prefer 2D over 3D? XD |

I don't get why they'd persecute the guy. "OH NOES, WE MUST PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THESE VIRTUAL CHILDRENZ" I can understand child pornography as being wrong when you look at it from the perspective of the child, and the possible shame/scarring they'd have to grow up with after being photographed in all these fucked up ways. But come on, it's fucking art. You might as well jail someone for watching a psychological thriller based on rape. It's not like someone is actually getting raped, but hell, it looks like it! JAIL THE GUY! ~~~~ 3nokta said: This is what I'm on about.Just TL:DR,What is there to be argue about ? Man convicted to 1 year in prison in Canada for having 'child pornl'' on laptop.

I personally don't see how one could get so aroused by watching a little cartoon girl getting her brains fucked out (POMF =3) But really..? ~~~ And geez, I can't believe this thread has grown so much O_O Morality only goes so far.

Hah, this thread still exists. I remember getting multiple death-threat PMs for supporting this man being jailed. Anyways, taking out whether you see sexually-oriented lolita hentai as 'bad' or not (I personally think it's a pretty messed thing to fap to - if it's drawn, why does it have to be a child? Definitely underlying implications there, whether the lolicon knows it or not), the man still broke Canadian law. Canada's child pornography laws also cover drawn/CG depictions of children in a sexual act, he broke that law by bringing sexually-oriented lolita hentai into Canada. Tough. |

Sucrose said: ok to anyone who i was talking to before, I'm done about that stuff... that being said yes morality only goes so far but you have to understand where the actual line IS drawn... it's not drawn when someone is "harmed" unless ultimately you mean "wronged", why? because some ppl LIKE pain! some ppl like causing pain, and ergo put those 2 ppl together and you'll realize what I'm talking about... ok the line is drawn at "someone got wronged", meaning as long as they ARE consensual, and as long as they are consenting to something that is only on the same level as there logic development so far... then that's when it is ok and when it should be legal... you understand? what I'm trying to get across if you keep saying nobody got harmed so it's ok, then a date rapist and ppl who DO rape and molest children, will try to say "oh they were knocked out(aka unconscious) so no harm done and therefore OK" see my point? the reason lolicon isn't wrong is not that it harmed nobody, because say for example i don't want a picture of myself to be Photoshopped to have me sucking a dick, would said picture "harm" me? no! is it ok either way if it harmed me or not? NO! is that legal? it can be... just because something is legal doesn't make it ok, and just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's not ok either... if we had a system that killed you for saying the word "open" would not EVERYONE disagree with that law? no judge would pass it in the first place, the point of pointing out an unfairness in law, is because laws are FOR fairness, laws are rules, rules make it so you play fair and if you don't play fair then your probably going to come across some consequence...especially in countries where they were founded on values that imply universal fairness, so that means if any law is unfair it is CONTRADICTORY to it's OWN cause, and therefor it should not even exist and in fact should be denied as applicable in any court or trial... wow kinda rambled there... anyways my point is don't concentrate on doing "harm" to others as wrong but instead violating someone is wrong... I'm serious as long as you stick with that argument your gonna run into bumps along the road that need explaining...I don't get why they'd persecute the guy. "OH NOES, WE MUST PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THESE VIRTUAL CHILDRENZ" I can understand child pornography as being wrong when you look at it from the perspective of the child, and the possible shame/scarring they'd have to grow up with after being photographed in all these fucked up ways.

You can start crying when he goes and rapes a child. kinda like how anti-homosexuals say that: it's unnatural to be gay! and all you gotta do is either point out how being gay isn't a choice and that cancer is natural while houses and clothing are unnatural... see i already threw bumps in the "it does no harm to others so therefore it is ok and should be allowed" arguments: stealing money doesn't really harm someone unless they had so little money and no job or something, but it is WRONG and ILLEGAL to take anything from someone without there full consent.. see no harm done but still illegal and wrong... so just change your argument to say: Lolicon it doesn't violate anyone or anything therefor is ok... |

Onibokusu said: umm i might sound funky and messed up saying this, but technically legally and morally(please note that i don't need the morality half of that for my argument to still stand, nor the legal half for it to still stand, all you gotta do is realize i am projecting 2 views for 1 point, not 1 view for 2 points... so if you see morality as irrelevant continue to read my 1 point just exclude morality and same goes for the legal side of the argument) speaking what makes child pornography as well child molestation and lolicon drawn from a real child a bad thing is the fact the child is not on the same level of logic and reasoning to be coherent enough to consent, they can say "OK" but technically they don't conclude fully "why should i like to do it", "why shouldn't i do it?" they'd be quick to assume it's ok cause it feels good, and they would also be quick to assume "it is painful or uncomfortable and i don't like that so i don't wanna do it" basically children can really only partially consent to what they DON'T want and what they DO want, sure they'd consent to candy or something of the sort because "it is tasteful and or pleasureful and i like that so OK" but we know what happens when you let them keep having candy all they want they can become unhealthy which later they'll regret ever doing it in the first place... and if you let them say no to everything and you make parenting decisions based on that, then you realize they will skip out on the dentist, or the doctor, or school... my point isn't that you don't let them consent or reject to anything, you make decisions for them that will HELP them, if at any point you make a decision about them for YOURSELF, you then are not fit to be a parent, a parent is the only one to decide consent of a child, and said consent NEEDS to be for THERE benefit... not for your own IN ANY WAY, because making them turn out healthy and mentally stable is supposed to be the ONLY thing you get to enjoy about them... well that and there success at life... unless they fail then you can be like "WHERE DID I GO WRONG!!!!" but in no way is it helpful to sexually enjoy them... in no way is it ok to enjoy them sexually, and in no way is it legal for you to sexually enjoy them... all those are for your own benefit and that means you ultimately made them to eventually serve that purpose... now if it's an image of no real person, sure don't say "im proud to like LOLICON or SHOTA"Hah, this thread still exists. I remember getting multiple death-threat PMs for supporting this man being jailed. Anyways, taking out whether you see sexually-oriented lolita hentai as 'bad' or not (I personally think it's a pretty messed thing to fap to - if it's drawn, why does it have to be a child? Definitely underlying implications there, whether the lolicon knows it or not), the man still broke Canadian law. Canada's child pornography laws also cover drawn/CG depictions of children in a sexual act, he broke that law by bringing sexually-oriented lolita hentai into Canada. Tough. especially when shota is directly porn of little boys, but it probably is more useful existing and since it's not real children it wasn't made for raising a citizen who would help humanity, and in fact if it is not porn then it is art, if it is porn then it was probably made for someone who is into children or childlike structures but they use stuff like that to make themselves more under control say what you want but they don't choose to have those thoughts so what are they supposed to just think about it, trust me thinking sucks especially when TV lies and says you can solidly picture something in your head... i mean going through puberty myself i kept getting hornier and hornier, but all that required was masturbation... the more horny i got the more i masturbated... now you can say they'll get old of it, but with my case with regular sexual attraction that wasn't true, why? i don't think it was my attraction imo i think it was because on the internet there is no shortage of NEW porn, and it always is slightly different... either way I've had sex with someone and yes indeed porn raises your expectations, it didn't give me false expectations, i found out that i am attracted to variety... something you can't get from a single person, so it turns out women don't give pleasure to me the same way they claim men give them no pleasure... seriously i just think each sex when inexperienced with it, assumes about the other "lick and suck anywhere in what seems a sexy way" cause women say men don't know what their working with, well this is a man who thought the same about the first chick he had sex with... sorry about alot of rambling i do that... but all in all it's not the HAVING of said attraction that is wrong because nobody chose there attractions! it is acting upon it that is wrong... sure once again you shouldn't be proud of it, but don't make them become sexually frustrated to where they kill everyone at work or some shit... if a single porn image doesn't keep getting them off then yea that makes sense, but not on the internet: internet:INFINITE PORN! |

Hah, except for everyone involved. e.g. this man that was jailed. 1.he was arrested for an understandable crime 2.he was he was arrested for an unrasonable crime either way he did consent to it, everything he did... it would be like going up to a cop in the USA and smoking a big old blunt of weed in front of a cop.. either way whether it was ok or not he was asking for it, if i was a little off in someones eyes with that analogy then here is a better one: the guy who enters a jungle realizes there are numerous ways that ENSURE he is going to die, if he enters anything that happens... he was asking for... more so because the fact it's filled with uncontrollable beast... but also when you see the hero in a movie get told by a robot "the odds are a hundred trillion against you" if he dies... he was asking for it... |

i dont really understand the logic behind that either. its only art as long as theres no nudity? so all of Michelangelo's works aren't art? if its a drawn picture its art. whether its depicting a can of spilled tomato juice or a girl with the appearance of a 10 year old eating a bowl of man chowder. and besides, since its drawn, the artist responsible for the character's creation can say theyre whatever age he wants them to be, regardless of their appearance. that's the major reason why this whole argument is pants on head retarded. |

Cucumbers said: "if its a drawn picture its art" ok I'm sorry if that didn't come out how i wanted it too, no i don't mean nudity can't be art... but if ANY image is art then whats so special or to be appreciated about it? personally i believe art is something that invokes some sort of emotion that causes an inner realization about something significant like life, reality, etc... i dont really understand the logic behind that either. its only art as long as theres no nudity? so all of Michelangelo's works aren't art? if its a drawn picture its art. whether its depicting a can of spilled tomato juice or a girl with the appearance of a 10 year old eating a bowl of man chowder. and besides, since its drawn, the artist responsible for the character's creation can say theyre whatever age he wants them to be, regardless of their appearance. that's the major reason why this whole argument is pants on head retarded. it's something that invokes your human condition that we ALL have, the human condition is pretty much being out done, you know not being enough but being able in one way or another to become enough... see humans are ALL ignorant even me and you, ignorance is lack of knowledge and no human knows "all", so we are all ignorant to something... now weather we let said ignorance stop us from gaining new knowledge is up to each individual person. Either way since humans are in the perfect position to not only be incapable of gaining all knowledge right now yet the aspiration to achieve any knowledge, we pretty much are UNSURE about EVERYTHING, there are NO absolute certainties as far as humans are concerned... So that being said THAT is the human condition... so from what i gather the only art that really means something is the stuff that puts you back in touch with your human condition, the condition of infinitely being "unsure", being nearly always gonna die in an endless amount of ways etc... the human condition is that you are zilch compared to everything else, and that it doesn't matter if there is a meaning to life, because we already got a good one.. We are here to reflect back on the universe and everything that exists... we are the billions of "camera" recording different information, different opinions, and different outlooks on the world.. we are the voice to announce for the universe, what we want out of said universe and then make it so... if not possible today, make it possible tomorrow! lol i was rambling again: TL;DR: art only means something if it invokes the human condition, of being so sure yet unsure, being capable yet incapable, being so great, yet so close to nothing... or any emotion really that you can't really describe, you know how humans are don't ya? it's like that "jersey" episode of south park where everyone from jersey said "it's a jersey thing!" except we all understand it, like for example: Love! we all know the feeling yet we also know there is nothing like it! hate!/anger! we all know what it is, it is the AAAARRRRGGGHHHH i wanna beat you up feeling, but do we have a better way to get someone to realize what anger is if we didn't tell a someone there entire life what it makes you feel like? |

Just three things I'm gonna comment on in this resurfaced thread... 1) Law and morality aren't entirely separate. Anyone who says otherwise really needs to look closer at the laws around them. 2) Technically speaking, tickling can be a punishable offence. 3) I'm pretty sure most people know, let alone law students (!), that there doesn't need to be 100% proof in order for the court to find someone guilty. Burden of proof etc etc. |

This is semi amusing to me for two reasons, 1) I was born in Canada and I intend to move back in about 5 years. 2) I'm a pretty big fan of the series the offending content depicted (Nanoha). While I do not approve of such content like H Doujins and the like, I don't think this guy deserved to get jail time, atleast not as much. Though one could argue that having loli is like having real CP - both are content to fuel your imagination. |

Like this painting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_5_%28painting%29 I consider it art but find it absolutely ridiculous somebody paid that much money for a bunch of lines thrown all over a canvas.

Drunk_Samurai said: "Just like how violent video games make people go out and murder." she said "both are content to fuel your imagination." now where in there did she indicate that those 2 things cause you to do something in real life? she said they fuel thoughts... "Law and morality should be separate for the most part" murder should be legal? same with stealing? same with rape? same with child molestation? same with date rape? laws prohibiting all those are based on morality! in fact you could say ANY law is morally based, why? laws are rules, and rules are about fairness, if you can give me 1 reason why any specific law shouldn't provide fairness and equality then go right ahead? fairness and equality are moral concepts BTW...Chavez said: To support your argument: "Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings." That covers a lot. Including lolicon. The argument instead should have been about what art is worth. Like this painting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_5_%28painting%29 I consider it art but find it absolutely ridiculous somebody paid that much money for a bunch of lines thrown all over a canvas. Jack_Rav said: Just three things I'm gonna comment on in this resurfaced thread... 1) Law and morality aren't entirely separate. Anyone who says otherwise really needs to look closer at the laws around them. 2) Technically speaking, tickling can be a punishable offence. 3) I'm pretty sure most people know, let alone law students (!), that there doesn't need to be 100% proof in order for the court to find someone guilty. Burden of proof etc etc. Law and morality should be separate for the most part. Also there should be 100% proof because you get people like Troy Davis thrown in jail and executed because he was black. TheScarletSword said: This is semi amusing to me for two reasons, 1) I was born in Canada and I intend to move back in about 5 years. 2) I'm a pretty big fan of the series the offending content depicted (Nanoha). While I do not approve of such content like H Doujins and the like, I don't think this guy deserved to get jail time, atleast not as much. Though one could argue that having loli is like having real CP - both are content to fuel your imagination. Just like how violent video games make people go out and murder.

Alpha-kudasu said: Dirty pedo images. Trollface.jpg. edit: btw if laws are not morally based, how do you go about punishing someone who deserves to be punished for something that SHOULD be a crime but isn't legally a crime? for example Charles Manson, he didn't kill anyone himself... but he did convince people TO kill, that is immoral, wrong, unfair, AND anyone who does this should be put away right? but he didn't harm anyone... he convinced someone else to harm someone... yet if we didn't lock him up for that or if we let him out, he said himself he would have kept doing what he did... so do you think the law should have stood back and let him be free? I'm not trying to weigh in on the subject of this guy who got arrested for lolicon, I'm trying to prove how your semi-wrong with saying most laws shouldn't be morally based, and your kinda right: when it comes to morals that project 1 sided unfair opinions, like this law in Canada that caused this guy to be arrested, laws like that shouldn't exist.. but also because laws are made FOR the point of fairness, and fairness is a moral construct, then yea laws should be morally based, but only when it's fair... |

ironicatheist said: "thus he was violated by sexually oriented lolita hentai." i didn't know hentai could violate you lol no literally you just said the guy who was arrested for having the illegal material was violated BY that illegal material... did you mean he was IN violation for having said material? No, I said he was violated by it, as the material is illegal. Problem? |

Onibokusu said: What? I'm not even going against your argument -_- in fact I'm pretty sure i was just trying to make it so you worded it right:My grammar is proper, you're just making things up to try and support your own side of the argument. Definition of VIOLATION : the act of violating : the state of being violated: as a : infringement, transgression; specifically : an infringement of the rules in sports that is less serious than a foul and usually involves technicalities of play b : an act of irreverence or desecration : profanation c : disturbance, interruption d : rape 2, ravishment See violation defined for English-language learners » See violation defined for kids » Examples of VIOLATION a serious violation of the law A second violation was called on the basketball player. He was arrested for violation of his parole. The group monitors human rights violations. They protested the government's violation of human rights. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/violation if you deny the information i just gave you you'd be a moron, because that website is updated with the MOST up-to-date ENGLISH DICTIONARY |

Onibokusu said: Hah, this thread still exists. I remember getting multiple death-threat PMs for supporting this man being jailed. Anyways, taking out whether you see sexually-oriented lolita hentai as 'bad' or not (I personally think it's a pretty messed thing to fap to - if it's drawn, why does it have to be a child? Definitely underlying implications there, whether the lolicon knows it or not), the man still broke Canadian law. Canada's child pornography laws also cover drawn/CG depictions of children in a sexual act, he broke that law by bringing sexually-oriented lolita hentai into Canada. Tough. Nobody will agree with you because everybody else on MAL probably has 500 GB of loli porn on their computers and is afraid of being arrested. |

@ironicatheist Just stop posting. You clearly aren't even thinking, you must just be smacking your hands on your keyboard. You can't effectively argue something of which you have no idea what the hell you are even talking about. 1) "murder should be legal? same with stealing? same with rape? same with child molestation? same with date rape? " Those hard things that harm people. While stealing is not harm in the bodily sense, it still is a physical type of harm: ie: you stole their money, something tangible and measurable. How can you not wrap your head around this concept? Morals and laws may coincide, but there are many many many many many more morals than there are laws. Many you would disagree with. 2) "laws are rules, and rules are about fairness" So the head tax imposed on the Chinese to prevent them from entering Canada during its earlier years was fair? How about homosexuals not being able to be married in most of the states (last I checked)? Laws are about reducing harm to society and people. 3) Charles manson. Manson had intent to harm others. Despite Manson not doing any killing himself, it is a crime by association and inciting crimes. Furthermore, this is why we have courts and juries, so that we can form case laws if there are not current laws to deal with the problem. But in the end, Manson actually got people killed. This is the difference. If Manson just sat around with his cult talking about killing people than he wouldn't have been charged. @Onibokusu No one is arguing that he didn't break a law. However, we are arguing that the law itself is founded on misguided principles. In the 1800's homosexuality was dealt with the death penalty in many countries (still some countries today), in the early 1900s it was no longer the death penalty, but rather imprisonment (in a lot of cases indefinitely) for incurable homosexuality. Those were the laws. They changed when people evidence was presented and people discussed the laws. The laws were eventually overturned in many places. This is progression. Now one final point to clarify: The above story was ONLY to describe how laws change. @DrewTheDoofus Feel free to agree with Onibokusu. If you provide an reasonable coherent arguement, I'll gladly discuss it. If you feel like ad hominem'ing it up, then troll on lol. |

"While stealing is not harm in the bodily sense, it still is a physical type of harm: ie: you stole their money, something tangible and measurable." how is that HARM? i mean if it DIDN'T cause them to starve to death, or not be able to eat for a day, or it didn't cause them to not pay a bill, then how are they being HARMED? i think your trying to say they got there rights violated, which doesn't mean harm necessarily... i could steal your teddy bear, how is that HARM? "So the head tax imposed on the Chinese to prevent them from entering Canada during its earlier years was fair? How about homosexuals not being able to be married in most of the states (last I checked)? Laws are about reducing harm to society and people." i never said unfair laws CANNOT exist, I'm saying that somewhere like America where the forefathers intents for the countries civilization was to be fair... if a law says murder is illegal because it causes harm, and ALL laws are to prevent harm, then why is there a punishment system? punishment means you inflict harm on someone because it is deemed FAIR to do so... it is UNFAIR to cause harm, unless your harming someone, who harmed someone else for no logical reasonable reason. get the idea? i mean i could be missing something, so if i am bring it to my attention... any law that is illogically and unreasonably unfair should not exist... most law systems, more specifically America's law system is supposedly built on JUSTICE, it's not justifiable to be unfair... so if such laws exist, you get rid of them, if the countries leaders contradict the "supposed" values and concepts that the country is founded on, then the citizens of said country should not be willing to put up with the BS... kinda like how America is right now and the whole occupy wallstreet stuff... accept i think they could be doing things wrong, i dunno though I'm not really one to say... edit: Also i must point out that the laws prohibiting gay marriage are not only UNFAIR, but those laws are not preventing any harm, how does gay marriage cause harm? edit again:@InfiniteRyvius: lol i wish i had 500gb i only have 320 and 3/4 is taken up by games... |

@ironicatheist 1) Teddy Bear: It's trivial harm, but harm none the less. I had to work to pay for that bear, and if you were to take it, it is equivalent to taking the money value of that bear. 2) "the forfathers intents for the countries civilization was to be fair" which is why they allowed slavery? I could argue that slavery was beneficial for the inclusive society which is why said society would have had laws allowing it. 3)Punishment systems exist (or should) to reduce harm. You place a person in prison for several reasons: i) To get him off the streets (to prevent him from harming others) ii) To rehabilitate the person (attempt to prevent future harm) iii) to act as a deterrence (for others who might cause people harm) 4) For god sakes don't confuse justice and law. Hence the saying "court of law, not justice". 5) edit: Also i must point out that the laws prohibiting gay marriage are not only UNFAIR, but those laws are not preventing any harm, how does gay marriage cause harm?" Many western countries have Christian heritages. It wouldn't be odd to say that early America/Canada/Britain were Christian societies. If homosexuality stands in contradiction to the Bible, than homosexuality could be deemed to be harming society. However, as our countries and societies become more secular, and realize the ridiculas baseless claims made in the Bible for what they are, than we can get rid of these laws (as we can now see the real harm that is happening). The penalty in Canada for first degree murder is (if I'm not mistaken) 20-25 years (life sentence). Many people, really anyone, would say that this is not fair. The life expectancy is at least 80, so why 25 years? The reason is simple: If a criminal kills someone in Canada, if they kill another person then they will now get 50 years. Kill yet again and its now 75. This acts as discouragement from going on a killing spree. If the penalty for killing a person was a life sentence/death penalty, than the criminal would kill however many people it takes to get away with the crime, as his penalty would not get any worse no matter what measures he takes. In America (or atleast some states) they still have the death penalty. I'm no expert on American law, but I assume in many states its the old fashioned "you kill a person you get the death penalty" mentality. Need I point out the differences in crime rates between Canada and America? So in short: Laws should exist to reduce harm done to society/people. |

Why are you still going on about stealing? You keep talking about digital means and switching to physical means. I already told you that copyright infringement is not stealing. |

onibukso said -Drawing without reference is extremely difficult, and you have no way of knowing if you've made mistakes. What you said earlier, bolded, is still drawing with reference. However, I doubt you'll find the body of a human child in a biology book. Talk to a serious art student about drawing from memory, you'll find out it's actually a pretty hard thing to do. It's not just 'wiz bang bing, I've made a loli'. FYI, you can find a lot of example of drawing from memory on a site like Devientart. They're the ones with unrealistic body proportions (no, I'm not talking about large breasts) and strange perspectives. Dude i dont watch lolicon or read it, the artist in me told me to reply but that Is absolute garbage i draw almost everything from out of my head apart from the odd portraits....... are you an artist? there are many types of artists out there many use references, but you will find there are kraploads of people who draw from their imagination to create what they want. |

I suppose I can see how liking lolicon material like that can lead to stuff like crimes associated with pedophilia or child pornography, but that can be said for any sort of animation, books, or even any entertainment. If that's the cause for his arrest, then that's just paranoia. It's not really fair or even closely justified. |
