Cub/Shotacon
15 years ago
Hey...HEY! This is something you're REALLY going to enjoy
I don't see how the legality of CUB porn has anything to do with real children. A correlation between a fan of cub art and a child molester can be made, but It is safe to say without the art a child molest will still molest. We CAN argue, using basic psychological principal that the introduction of fantasy child porn to a child porn enthusiast might cause the behavior to persist, but we can also argue that with the lack of an outlet such as make believe children ( of a different species no less) on the internet, can also cause harm.
TAKING away cub porn removes an outlet for these people with these particular mental environments, making them MORE likely to molest a child due to lack of venting through imagery.
Also, the restraint on cub porn is an attack on the imagination. If it were to be illegal to draw underage species outside of the realm of reality who DO not exist in any way then I guess the law owns our creativity as well.
An argument can be made via the SAME conditions why we want to make cub porn illegal or Shota illegal that can be applied to other subjects.
For example. furry art should be illegal because it represents not only a community of bestiality but consists primarily of ILLEGAL animal pornography.
Graphic images of people dieing ( fake, drawn, etc) should also be illegal, it glorifies and displays murder, an illegal act.
Drawings of drugs as well.
The same Analytical approach we apply to shota and cub porn is applicable to other things we wouldn't even THINK of arguing about.
The attacks on shota and cub have been primarily Children Oriented. "think of the children" As some might say. The children who DO NOT EXIST.
The same as with Animal sex which does not exist
The violent murder which did not occur
or the pound of pot that we did not smoke.
all these things did not happen nor can in their context. If some one wishes to rape a child, then they would have done it anyway regardless of the presence of art.
If Cub porn grooms a person to think molesting children is okay, THE SAME UNARGUABLE logic is applied to violence in Cinema, sex acts in movies, Guns in your holsters
Its okay to like violence and why not go snuff some out out? Yeah! hanging yourself in a closet is cool and hot when you get off and of course, the one a lot of Americans dislike " Having people tell me it is okay for me to carry a gun on me promotes the weaponization of a free society and increases the risk of gun violence and the mentality that self defense is needed because the world is dangerous"
I'm Canadian, such gun laws are silly to us because our media, our culture does not loop the idea that the world is dangerous. our perspective has been proven right by just the numbers of gun deaths or murders per year compared to the great old USA.
Before we think to jump on the train to argumentville we need to check to see if we got our ticket. The display of imagery of generally illegal activity SHOULD not be illegal. The only cross over that ever occurs in real life is by those of our society who were on that road to destruction from day one.
We tend to turn our eyes from the sources of problems in our world, the crazy people within it, and tend to believe it is the act itself which is the evil when in fact if we did anything at all from the beginning to figure out who these murders, child molesters, heroin shooters were, wed have a easier road then to just prosecute every horny fuck on the internet whose only jacking off to a picture of a 13 year old panda, and thankfully NOT on the street fucking some kid because he has no other outlet.

And well they tend to like to gain power, like with the media - manipulate people into mistaking things to be related that are not ( porn=rape, descent=terrorist, profitable murder= patriotic, corporate scams= your duty to submit, etc)
People have been so manipulated into being so stupid that they think the news cannot lie, when in fact they do massively with such boldfaced audacity.
And of course people cower and let it happen, defending yourself and punishing crooks has become treason as well.
And what happened with this site, I suspect its blackmail, laziness, plain cowardice, or I'd hope it's not sheer stupid judgment (like cutting off legs to cure a cramp)..
So I kinda doubt this is really about cub art, things just don't add up because fur porn in general is just as misinterpretable as bestiality.
Very, very much so!
"Before we think to jump on the train to argumentville we need to check to see if we got our ticket. "
That's the best thing I've heard in a very long time XD
:3 Daw. Its good to hear from you bud <3
My stance has been that while I personally intensely dislike Cub Porn, it's not my place to decide something should or shouldn't be allowed based simply on my moral ideals; that would make me like the Catholic Church or the Church of Latterday Saints. I remain neutral in this drama, and think it's a sad blow, but it's that or FA shuts down. (Not that i would really mind all that much to be honest, not like the Administrator does a good job making people WANT to use the site, making decisions that directly contradict the ToS and their privacy policy)
Also your approach puts much much strain on the mental development and defense of a person caught in a situation where their natural ( mental disorder or not) preferences are faced with stalk opposition. This is detrimental to fixing any problem. Its totalitarian.
It is unfair to call a cub fan a child molester wannabe, and rude. There are more people who enjoy cub porn and DONT want anything to do with real children then there are those who do. I think you need to come to an understanding that sexual perversion DOES not exist, but is rather a development of certain perceptions arranged by our brains from birth to old age that in no way is our own doing.
Greeks had an environment where consensual love between children and adults occurred. A actual environment where people thought it was okay.
This is not to prove that they were right and we were wrong. but rather to dislike something solely based on the established opposition does not provide enough reason to hate it at all. We need to think about facts, not morals, logic not opinions.
If we don't come to an understanding of what is real and what isn't, we don't know the effect of either on any of this.
Of course i know CP was banned due to more financial reason than moral reason, but still, how can you find a defense for baby raping? Its beyond me really that the desire to rape and physically abuse a child is a GOOD thing to you :P or at least something that is defend-able. It is a fact that raping children leaves scars on them forever, why dont you go and ask the people who actually WERE raped as a kid about CP and tell them its not a horrible horrible thing :P
But of course, I need to express the fact you are connecting two unnecessary dots. People who like cub porn, do not always feel they want to rape children. These things are mutually exclusive.
Also claiming this is an excuse to use pretty words is what the god fearing peasants say to things they have not the intelligence to understand, much like they felt towards Galileo. You have to do three things here.
Understand what morality is, and question it
question the harm that imaginative material could even POSE on children
And make your points anchor within reason and not within "just because"
One person doesnt define a group, i am well aware of that, but cmon, someone who draws raping children has to have SOME desire to do it to the real thing, i am well aware of the differences between fact and fiction, but the desire is as plain as the eye can see, as is with ANY fetish drawing.
And ALL OF THAT ASIDE, do you REALLY wanna be associated with pedophiles? Furries already get a shit rap for being into bestiality, do you really want to be seen as a puppy raping pervert? Ask yourself that, and dont say "i dont care what others think" thats BS and you know that. Just like the people who lose weight because "its healthyer" and not to impress a bunch of sluts and fit in the designer clothes. Its all just one big visage.
Im not talking out of my ass, and just from the way you speak you obviously look down on me for speaking in a different way from you, but then again im sure you look down on anyone who isnt an intellectual.
This is my final post on the matter, i didnt come for a debate, only to try and understand WHY someone defends CP, and since im getting no answers theres no point in continuation.
Again, same logic, do people drawing violent crimes want to do them too? By your logic they must, because you cant say the Dessssire isnt their.
Yo cannot, ever say any of these people WANt to rape a child
most of the art isnt rape, its imaginative consensual sex between something that looks young. BUT none of it exists. You missed the key point that even if some DO desire to rape a child, regardless of porn they would do it anyway. but some will be satisfied with the art alone
What a person draws or looks at in the privacy of their own home is their business and don't DARE say it is not.
your ideas of right and wrong are clearly established in both literary faith and dogmatic practices of an industrialized western society, clearly. I don't think you understand the inner concepts of self expression nor the ideas of the differences between expression and Commitment.
Answer me this ONE question
If children of a made up species who do not exist and cannot therefor be harmed, by a person solely interested in this made up thing and not children in real life, IS not allowed to be drawn, what of violent video games? Movies? and other media that purposes murder in a glorified way?
What of this?
Cub art was not removed because of some morals, it was removed to gain more advertisers to keep this site afloat.
Advertisers where pulling out because of the grey area that cub art is. If the law decides to go one way or another with cub art, they wouldn't be critisized for 'supporting' pedophilia.
There was a guy a few years back in Edmonton that went to jail for child pornography for having anime and magna depicting animations of "sexual acts with underage children". I seem to recall some were furries.
I believe the same reasoning they use to identify furry as not being beastiality, being that they are "humanized" so it falls under the rules for human porn.
I hope i'm wrong because i am a fan of freedom of expression however, and i'm a stoner so it's really possible.
