People legit can't see the cliff they are walking towards right in front of them It never stops at the fictional content you hate. History has proven this

The UK is one of a few countries that treat fictional drawings such as anime loli illustrations as equivalent to child pornography for possession purposes. This was made illegal by the UK's Coroners and Justice Act 2009 sections 62-68. This act is insane in that it specifically targets non-photographic stuff like anime, cartoons, manga, drawings, sketches... things that no reasonable person would think are of real child victims. What counts as "grossly offensive, or obscene" in the language of the law is up to interpretation that allows overly sensitive karens to slap artists with insane punishments, with jail time and sex offender registry. The UK government argues that lolicon content can be used to groom real children, "Fuel" pedophilic urges, and potentially leading to real abuse. In follow-up interviews, they admit that the rationale lacked scientific proof of causation or harm... Studies even show that a possible substitution or cathartic effect exists where fantasy outlets reduce real-world risk. Despite all that, they enacted it based on the idea of "better safe than sorry." Fiction isn't the same as real abuse, and this creates a punishment for "Thought policing". The idea of drawing, writing, and illustrating is an extension of creative cognition. Making certain thoughts illegal is a massive slippery slope, as warned in many works of fiction, like the book 1984, and lessons from repressive authoritarian regimes around the world. This kind of censorship, in the end, is not for the protection of real victims but to police the thoughts of its citizens, in hopes of creating a harmonious utopia where all deviant thoughts are erased from the population... because it doesn't stop at just illustrations, it keeps morphing, metastasizing, and spreading into other "deviant" thoughts just like so many repressive regimes has done. In the end, the powers that be in the karenocract want compliant NPCs for which the government can have its way. Meanwhile, as I say... There has been over a decade of documented failures in actual grooming gang UK abuse cases, where real CHILD victims were ignored because "racism is bad". Fucking clown country. The UK isn't a full authoritarian state... yet... but it is on its way, and the endgame is going to be ugly as hell.

UN PSICÓLOGO DIAGNOSTICA A LOS FANS DE PRECURE CON PROBLEMAS MENTALES 💀🚨 El experto aseguró que la gran mayoría de estos fans (especialmente hombres) muestran claros rasgos de trastornos del desarrollo. La comunidad estalló acusándolo de discriminación y doble moral: ¿Por qué si un tipo de 30 años ve Gundam o Kamen Rider es "cultura", pero si ve chicas mágicas es un "problema mental"? El debate ya dividió a Japón entre los que defienden dejar a la gente disfrutar su anime, y los padres que ya no quieren otakus barbudos en los eventos infantiles de sus hijas. Via: nano_macoron

I say this with genuine concern for the wellbeing of the UK and all of us who live here. Never in my adult life have I lived under more severe freedom of speech restrictions; there is a literal list of things people can’t say and groups people can’t support. It’s not right

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this?

全世界のイラストレーターやクリエイター達は日本に逃げてこい 「絵を描いてるだけで犯罪者になる社会」から逃げてこい

現在の英国の状況について「これほど厳しい言論の自由の制限の下で生活したことは無い。」国際関係の専門家でもあるアロンソ・グルメンディ博士の発信は重い。すでに多くの批判が集まっている中、スターマー政権はなおもデジタル統制を進める政策を次々と打ち出している。「表現の自由」は奪われたと気付いた時には遅い。政治は常によく見張られなければならない。

I want to show support towards a certain UK VTuber that got arrested over drawings, but if I reply/QT I know I’ll be on a watch list. Ladies and gentlemen I officially live in an oppressed country.

EL CASO EMPEORA La policía del Reino Unido no solo arrestó a la VTuber Mimi Yanagi, también ALLANÓ su casa para confiscarle sus dakimakuras, figuras de anime y doujins. Amigos de la artista revelaron que las autoridades le vaciaron la habitación llevándose "absolutamente todo" su botín otaku como evidencia criminal, e incluso le quitaron su Discord. (Curiosamente, le dejaron sus cuentas de videojuegos).
