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

[The Witch]

Oh yes, these stick figures get me turned right the fuck on. I'm fapping like the FUCKING FIST OF THE NORTH STAR right now. Look at them stick figures going at it. HOT DAMN, that shit's fucking hot.

I'll go report myself to the authorities now.

Good, pedo. You go be all you can be.

For my personal opinion, it's a cartoon, so no harm, no foul. Sure, it's disturbing on many levels if a person is getting off on a cartoon, in my opinion. I don't even really think it's more of a crime if that cartoon is "theoretically" underage. Just my 2 cents.

This isn't about whether or not someone is harmed, it's about the person still being attracted to children.

it might be hard for you to comprehend, since youre essentially part of a gigantic brainwashed sect, but you cannot control what people think.*

if someone is attracted to children thats their business. when they act on those thoughts it becomes society's business.

*well obviously you can. youre living proof. what i mean is, its not normal to want to control what people think. its simply not right. its wrong. it is incorrect. it is evil.

Anime children are not the same a human children. Please don't make me make a flowchart to explain why.

Because they are different, you can be attracted to one or the other or even both. You keep saying "oh, why would they be attracted to anime children?" implying that they must be attracted to real children as well. They aren't the same. You are making the claim so the burden of proof is one you to show that one links to the other.

Paedophelia is a crime. Paedohpiles are convicted and sent to prison because they fund the (human) child porn industry and participate in sexual activities with (human) children.

No one can be convicted or sent to prison for funding or wanking to anime children porn. Because it isn't real. Funnily enough, they can't have sex with an anime child either.

Good, pedo. You go be all you can be.

I will! After I clean the jizz off my keyboard and the cops laugh their ass off at me for turning myself in after not committing a crime. I'm sure they'll have a nice, big, long, hard, laugh at me, and hang the picture up on there wall for it being a FUCKING NICE PIECE OF ARTWORK!

Look at how detailed that drawing is. You're lucky it graced this thread.

COME ON, PEDOS! IF YOU ENJOYED THAT DRAWING, YOU'RE NOW A PEDO, LET'S GO TO THE COPS!

 

[The Witch]

point is, its not a child

The point is, the adult is still attracted to a child.

No one can be convicted or sent to prison for funding or wanking to anime children porn. Because it isn't real. Funnily enough, they can't have sex with an anime child either.

Of course closet Pedos can't be convicted, doesn't mean that they aren't attracted to children when they watch young anime characters sexually.

it might be hard for you to comprehend, since youre essentially part of a gigantic brainwashed sect, but you cannot control what people think.

if someone is attracted to children thats their business. when they act on those thoughts it becomes society's business.

This might be even harder for you to comprehend, but the whole point in this topic is whether or not a grown adult being attracted to a young anime charcter makes them a pedophile. If, by chance, they are attracted to a 13 year old anime girl, that means they are generally attracted to children. Simple as that. Until you put something other than your obsession with hating Christians and anyone who happens to disagree with you, I'll pay you no attention at all.

@Raistlin Majere, you're spamming in a debate topic. Put some arguments in your posts or don't post at all.

other than the hating of christians this essentially a description of you.

this isnt a debate, youre not asking people what they think because just about everyone thats posted has told you they dont think its paedophilia and you keep coming back and saying it is. well it isnt, not according to the law. and the law is the boss.

 

[Ewan]

Of course closet Pedos can't be convicted, doesn't mean that they aren't attracted to children when they watch young anime characters sexually.

So the fuck what? It doesn't mean that they are either! So the answer to your question is "no, not neccessarily".

 

[The Witch]

Right, so if someone fantasizes about killing someone, it's not wrong? It doesn't give the logical conclusion that they obviously wanted to kill someone?

Flawed logic is flawed.

EDIT: Come to think of it, if a cotholic priests watches child porn but never acts on it(besides the children going through that) he's technically not doing anything wrong. That is, going by this logic--if I can call it that.

 

[moogling]

people think about killing people all the fucking time. people murder all the fucking time.

doesn't mean there's anything we can do about it until it's actually DONE. once someone murders, they're put away. once someone ACTUALLY HARMS A REAL CHILD, they're put away.

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

Spam, I think not. My posts have all had a point, and in each one, my point has been proven to just about everyone, save for yourself. You honestly sat there and told me that two stick figures, one being depicted at the age of 25, while the other being depicted at 10, was pedophilia.

How am I supposed to take your argument seriously after this? It's bloody fucking hilarious!

You really don't grasp the concept of reality, and fantasy well at all. It's clear that no one can change your mind about this. Hell, in your eyes, I'm now a pedo, I'm morally wrong, and you'll probably back up your own arguments with "ur a atheist, u have no morals" or some shit like that.

My point has been made, and just seeing how asspained you are about the whole thing has my sides hurting in laughter.

Okay, so, like Jim said, if I watch a porno with two hot nuns going at it, I must want to bang a Nun, right? Wrong. If I'm watching a porno, I'm watching it to get off and rub one out. They could be dressed as school girls, or maids, I don't care about what the fuck they're dressed in, I just want to fap.

If someone is watching a hentai (what these things are actually called), I can promise you they don't want to bang a 10 year old. Hell, they probably have no idea what it's about, or the age of a character, they just want to fap.

You might as well say that people watch porno for the dialogue and the acting.

 

[Marquis of Granby]

it doesnt matter what they WANT to do. intention means nothing. action means everything.

 

[Malus]

Right, so if someone fantasizes about killing someone, it's not wrong? It doesn't give the logical conclusion that they obviously wanted to kill someone? .

It sure as hell doesn't make them a murderer. I fantasize about killing certain people all the time, but that does not and will not make me a murderer as long as I do not act on the fantasy.

 

[Ewan]

No, it isn't wrong because:

1) You can't prove someone is fantasising about something.
2) There is no such thing as a thought crime.

It doesn't matter if someone wants something, they have to actually do it to be committing a crime. And you still have yet to show that finding anime children attractive leads to people being paedohiles.

 

[Marquis of Granby]

EDIT: Come to think of it, if a cotholic priests watches child porn but never acts on it(besides the children going through that) he's technically not doing anything wrong. That is, going by this logic--if I can call it that.

no. we already know thats wrong because the law tells us this.

remember?

to possess child porn would mean you were condoning/funding the abuse of children.

to possess naked anime girls would mean you were condoning/funding the use of an artists leet skills.

Nah... I personally don't think it is... I mean someone can fantasize all they want... That's up to them... If they aren't harassing someone with it, who are we to judge someone else's thoughts? Just because it's wrong to us, doesn't mean it's in fact wrong... Our wrong might be their right, unless you know, they're actually acting out their thoughts. Which isn't the case.

I still stand by what I said about people who do watch young girls in anime, aren't automatically attracted to real life children. That's something you just can't know for sure, and every pervert will always be different, some might actually like watching small kids, yes, this is wrong, but they aren't harming them. Though if they do THAT, you can say something about it.

But if it's just some nerd in his bedroom getting excited watching girls on anime, it's just a fetish... It's nothing more than that.

People that are in to that shouldn't be shoved in to the "You are a paedophile because you like Anime, therefor you like watching real children" catagory. That's called assuming. And assuming is judging, which... is something I'm not a fan of. =/

 

[VinnieJones]

Anime characters don't look like real people. Real people don't have eyes that are half the size of their face nor do people have natural blue/green hair etc. Maybe that was being too specific, but the point is they're not drawn to realistic specifications and do not resemble a real life human. A 13 year old girl in anime is not a 13 year old girl on the street.

Also their age is just a setting created by the script-writer. They're not actually 12/13/14 etc, let alone being real. So will it be Ok if that character was set as 18 or something, without changing their appearance? It's something that can be arranged in a flash, unlike in real life. It's like putting Scarlett Johansson in a film and setting her age as 13. Will we be pedophiles if we don't know her age in real life, but are sexually attracted to her in that film?

EDIT: sorry about bringing it back to the main topic, the posts above just appeared out of nowhere while typing.

46&2.........you go girl!

Controlling peoples thoughts? I dont thinks thats her intention at all.
She is just pointing out the fact that regardless of the media the fact is they are children
and that is all there is to it.

Dont be confusing the difference because they are not real, and acted upon or not the intention is still there, this is something that is not tolerable at any rate, I applaud you guys and the liberties you seem willing to offer the depraved members of society.

But the this topic has no degrees of right or wrong IMO.......there for for its not good or evil, it just simply should not be, but that is an absolute and people bound by absolutes are usually looked upon as being crazy,unable to bend to outside ideas.

Regarding this dark aspect of humanity.......So be it.

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

At the end of the day, everyone has their own definition of what is "wrong", some people won't think it's wrong, some people will, some people will think it's paedophilia, some won't. It's just a debate that in reality, will keep going in circles.

In terms of whether it's technically wrong, no. The law dictates to be convicted you need to have both the actus reus and the mens rea, hence paedophiles can't be convicted unless they've actually "done" something. In this case they won't have "done" anything, as Ewan pointed out, you can't be persecuted or prosecuted for simply thinking about something.

 

[The Witch]

I think the majority of folk would be locked up right now for thinking murderous thoughts, myself included

what a silly argument

Then the same should be said for those fantasizing about Children sexually. If thinking about murder is good enough to lock someone up, watching cartoon children sexually is as good as a reason to say they are pedophiles, in a matter of fact, pedophilia for cartoon children has more evidence to condemn someone than thinking about murder does.

Dont be confusing the difference because they are not real, and acted upon or not the intention is still there, this is something that is not tolerable at any rate,

Yes, the intention is what I'm talking about. Thank you.

 

[Marquis of Granby]

you can't be persecuted for simply thinking about something.

yes you can. we must control the people.

pepsi is better than coke.

bananas are better than apples.

homosexuality is disgusting and evil.

christianity is better than muslim.

as an islam i practice muslim.
