I’ve been talking with @pyarra@vlemmy.net, and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.

The two types of instances people should seek to defederate from are ones for fascism and abusers. I know a lot of the Loli(and I presume Shota) defenses are claims that these characters only have childlike bodies. I disagree personally though. In any anime I’ve seen a Lolita character, they also behave like a child. They may claim she’s a 2000 year old vampire, but she’s acting like a child. That character is an abuser fantasy. They want to take advantage of that ignorance. There are probably plenty of people who like that body type innocently, but I believe there are many more who’s intentions are vile to say the least.
I get the kid stuff, but why would you ban fascism? Next you want to band monarchy and communism, right?
As a socialist I do not like this mindset when poor content would be drowned out anyway
Indeed. I like free speech as much as the next guy, but fascists and abusers don’t like free speech and only use it as a cover to spread their ideology. Once they reach critical mass in a community, they flip and ban speech they don’t like.
While I agree with you, I feel like acting on something that hasn’t happened yet is the falling victim to the same sort of ideology.

Is it? It’s happened before, and it’s the sort of thing where you can’t be reactionary towards it because once it’s happened you’ve already lost.
