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

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.
That still doesn't mean they AREN'T pedophiles--and that's all I'm saying. Even if they don't act on it, they're still thinking of children sexually--which makes them pedophiles.

if they happen to be sexually attracted to children, then yes.

otherwise they just have a cartoon fetish.

cocks do not discriminate.

 
Oh, my God, Jim. *head desk*

It's not a cartoon that is their fetish it's the children in it they're attracted to.
 
there are no children in the cartoons.

bart simpson is voiced by a 40+ year old woman. if a man wants to bum him that doesnt make the bam a paedo.

which begs the question, if these anime paedos are paedos why dont they just watch hardcore kiddie porn? :hmmm:

 
So rather than have a real opinion your going to quote legal binding?
And have the Law as your proxy opinion?

Listless........to say the least.

How thin do you think the barrier is between reality is imaginary is?
its not that great a leap to make when talking about this topic, because if said people can justify such "harmless" actions........they sure as hall can justify it in reality!!!
 
No, it's the tits, and the fact that they want to fap. They could care less who's in it, unless they're gunning for this sort of thing. You're implying that everyone who looks at it is a pedo. When in all reality, it's not the case. The majority just want to fap, they see some tits, they're not asking for age, and they don't care. They want to make their chicken happy.

So, put someone in this situation. A man goes out on a nice date with someone who has told them that they're 18 years old. They go home, have sex, and then afterwards, she tells him that she's 16.

Is that man a pedo? No. But I can guarantee you he enjoyed the sex as it was happening. His penor made the pee pee dance, he's happy, and it isn't his fault.

in my dreams i run about the streets with a gun and kill old ladies.

sometimes when i sit on the bus i think of running about the streets with a gun and killing old ladies and raping their dogs.

i've never once done this. ive never had the urge to do it. simply a thought :hmmm:

Well I'll probably sound like an echo here, but I can't possibly see how fantasy and reality have equal weight in the scheme of things.

Really, like a lot of people have said, I think you have to examine who's getting harmed in situations of pedophilia. In real life, if children are being abused in this way, they're the ones getting harmed and obviously that's wrong. In fantasy situations, emotionless drawings are the subjects, and will never feel disturbed by it because they can't feel anything at all. The only real-life people who could possibly be harmed in the latter situation are those who are unaccepting of others' ideals that they themselves think are perverse, and that's their fault for allowing themselves to be bothered by it. And in a world full of however many billion people it is now, it's kind of selfish to expect everyone to like and dislike the same things. I for one think it's wrong for people to kill animals for food, but I'm not going to sit there and call other people nasty names for doing it (even though that, unlike the thread topic, is something that harms living beings in real life). What makes someone a nasty person in the case of pedophilia is if he or she lacks restraint and decides to act on it in real life, and if the concern here is that anime encourages such things, then I have to disagree, because that's a view that removes all responsibility from an individual and places it in the hands of the media. Which is downright absurd.

Yeah Jim thats different son...........your scottish lol

I killed plenty off people in my dreams too........I dont find that disturbing.
but there has to be a limit to what is acceptable and the laws on every country dont control this shit tightly enough IMO

Raping dogs.....I never would have guessed ??
 
its not different at all. its fantasy. no one is harmed, not a single old lady, not a single dog. i think its an insane concept that a fantasy should be more tightly controlled. these are drawings. you cant make it illegal to draw a balloon headed...thing thats meant to be an 8 year old. you cant make it illegal to then slap tits on this drawing. thats the sort of thing adolf hitler wouldve done. its just not what the western world is about im afraid. you dont like it, dont watch it, dont look at it, dont think about it. dont let it bother you.

the pencils and/or software used to create these monsterous beasties dont feel anything. poor abbi dabbi with the bright green hair and 2mm legs doesnt care either. in fact she probly wants you to cum.
 
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.
While this is true, the topic in hand suggests condemning those who have gone beyond "thinking" about something and have "done" something --that is to say that they have pleased themselves with their chosen pornography-- as opposed to those who simply "think" about doing things.

Thinking about abusing a child is not illegal; possessing material of, or participating in, child abuse is punishable by law. Where the lines blur is when we ask if fictional child pornography is equal to, less or greater than real child pornography? Society has not addressed this core question, so we cannot yet decide this.

Oh, my God, Jim. *head desk*

It's not a cartoon that is their fetish it's the children in it they're attracted to.
But the children in pornography are cartoons. Neither of these subjects are technically more important than the other. It's unfair to suggest that the fact it's a child is more relevant than the fact that it's a cartoon.
i've never once done this. ive never had the urge to do it. simply a thought :hmmm:
Again, this is different, because we're not talking about "thinking" about anime pornography, we're discussing actually being part of it. So, again, we have to ask: does a cartoon child have the same rights as a human child?

Though my posts seems conflicted, I'm only playing devil's advocate. I don't like the idea of a child being used in a cartoon; the "instrument" is "wrong" (as deemed by popular opinion of society) but, at the same time, why should someone's personal preference become an issue for anyone else when no living being (excluding the individual) is harming themselves (presuming the individual cannot discriminate between reality and fantasy)?

If I became addicted to over-the-counter narcotics, e.g. paracetamol/tylanol, and only harmed my own body, should I be treated like someone who murders or mugs for class A drugs (again only illegal due to popular dictation)? No, not really.

However "wrong" or "immoral" it is, is probably directly correlated with how involved you are with other people's lives. If it bothers you...well, fuck off, really.

its not a child. its a drawing. it has no rights. it doesnt exist outwith its sheet of paper. i dont think its any different to think of cartoon porn than it is you see it. its imaginary either way. if these people were real paedoph isles, theyd look up kiddy porn, not some shitty jappo crappo with tentacles pentrating the massive vaginas of jappo crappo cartoon kiddies.

If it bothers you...well, fuck off, really.

right back to boots where youll be delighted to read, they do not sell jappo crappo, korean crappo, vietnamese crappo, chinese crappo or any sort of crappo cartoon kiddy porn.
 
I think you misunderstood me......lm not talking about controlling what people create on a personal level lm talking about the controlled import of such material, either through product lines or over the internet the latter being much harder too control.

You can draw all the stick figures you want slap any part of the anatomy on them you feel makes them more attractive to your little head..........thats fine, But licensed products can be controlled.

as far as fanart goes its up to the individual to deem what is acceptable for them to draw........

Dont compare people to Hitler.......or your ass will get hiled ;)
 
Because of the lack of facts in this thread I shall address that now.
Paedophiles have more in common with crabs than you or I, unless you are a paedophile. There's not a lot of scientific evidence for this but it is a fact.

Basically I can't be fucked reading through the whole thread because it would be a waste of my time. Calibabe obviously has some obsession with paedophilia, and it is a very interesting subject. But no, if someone is attracted to an anime character they aren't paedophiles. As james so often points out, this is a finaru fantaruju forum, most people here are probably in love with animu characters.

There is absolutely no relationship between fancying a cartoon and being a nonce.

why bother? this is possibly the least important thing in the world, second only to perhaps getting aid and fresh drinking water to africa.

its a strange fetish to be sure, but how its any different to shit eaters or anything vulgar like that i dont quite see...

if people like that stuff more power to them, it would just be handy if more people stopped complaining about useless pish and concentrated on important issues.

she asked if its paedophilia, no it isnt. question answered, whats to bang on about?

...sorry, what? You want to filter internet porn?

Law is pretty much the foundation for everything, furthermore, law is also partially based on morals and public expression. There's no "hiding" behind law, it's there to be used.
While this is true, the topic in hand suggests condemning those who have gone beyond "thinking" about something and have "done" something --that is to say that they have pleased themselves with their chosen pornography-- as opposed to those who simply "think" about doing things.
Case and point. However, I was merely going off the OP which stated "watching" and something she maintained throughout most of the thread if not all (I cba going back checking all the posts :wacky:), watching in itself wouldn't constitute a crime if it was just anime that was produced for entertainment purposes, like Pokemon for example. If she said the anime was produced for sexual purposes or that they had acted upon the anime in said way then there's an argument. If someone's just sexually aroused over children in general anime programs then there's not much really that can be done.
 
Maybe.

Not the good stuff;)

Just the stuff that should not be.........y'know involving children, anything else is fine between adults, I a little iffy about Animals but the animal rights groups deal with that stuff.
