Pedophilia is not funny. It is not a joke. It is not something you should laugh at. Pedophiles molest and enjoy children. This is nearly all acts of pedophilia are illegal and depiction of children in sexual positions or of a sexual nature is illegal in most countries. There is no acceptable depiction of child sexuality. It is a perversion of our most basic humanity. Obsession with child actresses and anime chibis is pathetic to say the least

This is not a troll. This is a serious issue. At no point should Pedophilia, the advocation of, or the posting of pedophilia approving threads be allowed. This is part of the poison that is destroying this site.

while i understand your intentions are most likely noble- throwing out opinions framed as facts, subscribing to sweeping generalizations, and actively engaging in logical fallacy does little to support your view.

pedophiles do not enjoy and molest. rapists and molesters enjoy and molest. pedophilia is a mental illness and in no way implies that those who suffer from it act upon their impulses/urges.

depictions of underage sex and/or engaging in sex with a minor is perfectly acceptable in most “global south” countries and at best quasi-legal in many “global north” countries.

acceptable depictions of child sexuality have existed since the greco-roman empires and well through the renaissance.

i’ll not even broach the subject of what makes eighteen an acceptable age of consent as opposed to any other arbitrary age.

on to the bone of contention that i felt compelled to pick…

i would hope that any questionable material found in the role-playing forums of forumwarz would be seen as a distorted mirror image of the harsh reality of the internet. i doubt that anyone is advocating pedophilia- more likely anyone prosteletyzing such a belief is employing humor to revisit and rethink very serious issue in western culture. i would like to think that anyone posting illegal/illicit would be permabanned out of principle.
