Is it Pedophilia When someone is attracted to an Anime Character?

[The Witch]

It's not real. If folk wanna get their jollies from it, then that's their business, it's no like they are lurking behind bushes with bags of puppies in trench coats trying to lure children into their sex dens

In the words of Robert Frost, "And that has made all the difference."

If I kill someone in a video game, does that make me a murderer?

So then, does a catholic priest watching child-porn not make him a pedophile if he never acts on his urges? No, of course he's a pedophile. He watches children in a sexual manner--which means he's attracted to children, making him a pedophile. If some man watches a child-anime character to recieve sexual pleassure, that means he's attracted to children, making him a pedophile.

There's absolutely no difference in either of the two. If it looks like shit, smells like shit--odds are it's shit.

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

There is a huge difference in the two. One is depicting acts of a real child stripping, while one is completely not real. Sure, I still think it's pretty disturbing, but I'm not going to lynch a man for it.

If I walk in on a man fapping it to a picture of a 10 year old anime girl, I'm going to make fun of him.

If I walk in on a man fapping it to a picture of a 10 year old real girl, I'm going to report him to the police.

To go a little further, I've known people that thought the 10 year old anime girls were cute, I made fun of them, but they hated Pedophilia, and thought people that are into should be punished.

here is a cartoon which i just drew. i then masturbated as i looked at it.

just to give you some background info on the characters. the 85 year old child is actually a witch from canada who has stayed youthful by drinking from a fountain of youth in a cave in canada, so in effect she is not a child at all.

the adult is actually younger than the 85 year old child. as you can see they are having sex. is it explicit enough to be deleted...hardly, but i think it proves my point.

it looks like shit. it smells like shit. it is shit, not paedophilia.

Oh my word, that is REAL children that have been violated and the chap is getting his kicks from it. Better a cartoon character than a child that has been damaged beyond all measure, surely? It's just no where near in the same league

Yes, it's weird, but you cant put it in the same category as actual child pornography, that's just absurd. No one is getting or has been harmed in the making of this cartoony shite. With actual child pornography a REAL child has suffered, the viewer knows this, but still continues to get his kicks from it, and while there is a sick demand for it, children are still going to be exploited in a sick way. this cartoon crap is just a pencil on a paper...

First of all, this is about the person commiting pedophilia not the harmed child.





Maybe I should reword this...

If a man watches girl on girl, chances are it's because he's got a FETISH for girl on girl--meaning it's what he's sexually attracted to.

If a man watches films of girls dressed as nuns, chances are it's because that's what he's sexually attracted to.

If a woman watches films of men dressed as firemen, chances are it's beacause she's sexually attracted to firemen.

If a man watches living, young children in sexual ways, chances are he's doing it because he's attracted to children.

(Keep in mind that these fetishes are of fantasy, not reality)

Now, if a man watches anime-children in sexual ways--what would be the reasoning in him doing that if he WASN'T attracted to children?


Nuff said.

There's no use trying to argue this one out. No matter how many people answer the question there's no changing your mind. Why ask?

I'm pretty sure you're just disgusted by everything that isn't Catholic or Christian.

And so my post isn't completely off topic and personal, I'm sticking with my argument that nearly all anime characters are meant to look young. Tbh when I see a character that's meant to be 20, she still looks like a child to me.

Take Lymle from Star Ocean. She's meant to be 15. That's not pedophilia, even if she were a real girl. Sure, she looks like she's about 9, but she's "really" not.

Or are you trying to say that these people you know are directly into hentai that involves children? That are actually meant to be children? In that case it's probably a bit weird but I don't think it's grounds to class them as a pedophile or arrest them for child pornography, since... it's not. But of course I wouldn't know for sure anyway.

No, I don't think it's paedophilia. I don't think it's wrong to be attracted to someone who's a lot younger than you. Some things you just can't help or control. What would be wrong, is the older person doing something with those thoughts, other then forcing them away, or showing they'll do what's right and walk away.

Like Jim said, they're not harmed. If the younger ones aren't aware, and the person who is watching isn't planning on physically taking action on them, as far as my opinion goes, it's just eye kandy.

And I hate anime. /irrelevant.

 

[The Witch]

I'm not talking about anime characters that are older but just look young--I am discussing the actual subject of there being freaks out there that are attracted to young anime characters.

 

[Marquis of Granby]

maybe he enjoys...cartoon porn?

i'd watch lesbian porn. i'd watch nun porn. that doesnt mean i want to marry a lesbian nun and fuck her all day.

Holy crap on a freaking stick. That's not the point. What the meaning in that post was, was that people watch certain things because they are sexually attracted to it. If someone is sexually attracted to fictional charcters of young ages, that means they're attracted to young children in general, otherwise they wouldn't be watching it in the first place, would they?

Question to Forty Six & 2

If I had sexual thoughts about an anime character that was 8 years old would I be a pedo?

And if I had sexual thoughts about the same cartoon character but this time the anime character was 25 would I still be a pedo?

(just in case your getting any ideas I've never had sexual thoughts about neither)

 

[The Witch]

If I had sexual thoughts about an anime character that was 8 years old would I be a pedo?

Yes, because that means you're sexually attracted to children. That is, if you're older than them.

And if I had sexual thoughts about the same cartoon character but this time the anime character was 25 would I still be a pedo?

Uh, no because it's now an adult.

 

[Marquis of Granby]

if it be a man's preference for his woman to shave her carpet does that mean he's sexually attracted to prepubescent girls? does it make him a paedophile?

why does it matter so much to you anyway, its a cartoon. there are far more disgusting things in the world than some old weirdo wanking off to a cartoon's tits. get a grip.

Uh, no because it's now an adult.

she looks between 3 or 4 but the start of the pornographic cartoon clearly depicts her celebrating her 25th birthday. it is now ok, moral and non-paedopilic to cum all over the screen.

its something drawn on a piece of paper, weird yes. Peadophillia? No. These characters can be drawn the EXACT same way and the creator could be like, well, s/he is of legal age. It's just a weird fetish.

@ Holy crap on a freaking stick.

Nah, I don't think so in all honesty... Anime is meant to look appealing. They make young girls have that sex appeal so I don't really think you can blame any old pervert for watching it. I mean... In all fairness, some of that stuff is even made for that, but that doesn't mean said pervert is out to go perv on some real life girls like that.

I think for me to consider it paedophilia it would have to be a whole step further than just perving on a character.

I also don't think that being attracted to a young character automatically means you're attracted to young children. Once again - some things are just made to look appealing with Anime.

 

[DarkShadow]

Yes, because that means you're sexually attracted to children. That is, if you're older than them.


Uh, no because it's now an adult.

Well as you can see they are both the same character and look exactly the same............only the age is different..........so I wouldn't blame all these anime girl lovers.

Some look 12 but are actually 25............after all it's just a cartoon not real-life...........get over it please!

I could draw a 7 yearl old looking girl and say its 88...........and if you are attracted to it it's no problem like you said above.

 

[The Witch]

It matters because people think it's okay to be sexually attracted to children, fictional or not, it will ALWAYS be wrong.

Peadophillia? No.

If a person is watching children in a fictional world they're doing it because they're attracted to children, why else would they watch children in such a way?

I know I wouldn't watch something I wasn't attracted to, so why are they?

@Colours,
if people watch children sexually it's because they are sexually attracted to young children. Why else would they watch it?

Some look 12 but are actually 25............after all it's just a cartoon not real-life...........get over it please!

Wait--W-H-A-T?! That's not at all what we just discussed. I am not talking about characters looking young, I am talking about the characters ACTUALLY being under 14. Get over this stupid round and round again strawman argument.

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

I'm just going to leave this here, sit back, and have a nice laugh.



But that would be spam. So, I ask you this, I just drew this picture, am I now a pedophile? Should I be arrested? Or do I have to fap to it first?

(Stole your idea, Jim. I'm sorry)

 

[Marquis of Granby]

lets all bang on about the same old pish. especially cali who is a very ignorant christian and is incapable of debating. you cant see passed your own opinions so you just shouldnt make these threads.

not real = not real however you look at it. just because you think its not right that doesnt mean its not right. we all have our perceptions of right and wrong, thankfully they dont all come from religions. we have some sane cunts. now if you dont mind, i'm going to masturbate over some pictures of an anime baby with tits the size of watermellons and dildos stuck up her nose.

 

[Angelus the Wraith]

Pedophilia is the condition of being sexually attracted to someone under 13. Depending on your pespective of things, that may or may not apply with anime characters.
