So I take it you consider radar from M*A*S*H to be a pre-teen because he also is depicted with a teddy.
But why agree to the ban of Manhunt at all? It's not like anyone is forcing anyone to play it. I'm adult enough to make my own choices based on my own tastes
This isn't some generic anime wankbait where the characters are young-looking but indeterminable because of the flat detailling of anime art styles, the game actually explicitly states that you're fiddling children from preteens to barely post-pubescent ages. One of them is shown holding a fucking teddy bear for christ's sakes. How can you stand there and act like this is some Crazy Mary Whitehouse hackjob when they're outright banning a sexualised depiction of child abuse? I cant believe someone could misconstrue literally all of the facts so hard, but you did it. Congrats. There are no "preteens" or "barely post-pubescent" girls in this game. The youngest is 16. It's honestly baffling that you can just post this and everyone swallows it as verbatim fact, hook line and sinker.
I really don't think anyone honestly believes that the stated age of the characters matters at all like no one is going to be outraged up until you tell them the character is a 10000 year old vampire and then be totally cool with it
So I decided to look up a picture of the girl with the teddy bear and, uh... https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/213991/f57190fc-cabc-4620-8948-93382d54a83a/image.png Urara Rurikawa (voiced by Yui Ogura) Height: 143cm Three-Sizes: B69 (A-cup)-W54-H71 Birthday: August 15 A first-year student at Anberyl Girls Academy who admires Rio. She’s Rio’s only (?) friend. She is a cute and pretty girl that looks almost as if she’s a doll. In addition to her childlike appearance, her speech and behavior are also childish, so she is often mistaken for an elementary school student. She’s an extreme masochist who gets her pleasure from being bullied. well.
In the comedian situation you are crossing boundaries into the real world, because the comedian is mentioning real existing children. I believe in the idea that fiction exists for crossing lines in an environment where real people can't be affected. Of course a work that actively encourages the reader/player to do harmful things to real people is bad but I don't think this is the case here.
Games getting banned just makes me that much more interested in playing them to see what the fuss is about.
Don't ban games Ban Japan
It's drawn, there's no real justification to ban it unless there's ever proof that access to lolicon shit makes pedophiles more likely to offend.
It's the last post by a news bot to get migrated so I always end up here when I go to facepunch.com, since the news bots can still post on the old forum for some reason.
locking this shit, with no survivors
