The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.
Access to content should not be difficulted by puritan views. If people enjoy gore and create an instance about gore in movies showing very explicit (yet fictional) images of dismemberments and stuff in movies it should be banned too because is morally questionable?
If you can’t distinguish between fiction and reality it should be a you problem not the whole instance you are inhabiting problem
What do you think about this? (sorry the article is in Spanish, but there is no English article)
We’re not talking about pornography laws that were enacted with no basis in harm reduction, we’re talking about child porn laws that were enacted to not encourage and normalize pedophiles and pedophilia.
Some laws are justifiable, some are arguable, and some are completely unjustifiable, throwing out an unjustifiable one in contrast to a firmly justifiable one is not debating, it’s childish nonsense.
loli/shota don’t refer to underage fictional content.
I think this loli/shota hate can indeed lead to real oppression yes. I’m an adult, I look like a minor. Do you believe it should be illegal for me to send nsfw photos of myself to people? To have a relationship with another adult? simply because I look underage? This is the sort of thing we’re talking about here. Should I be banned from posting pics of myself simply because of the way I look?
lemmynsfw already explicitly stated they ban underage content. so to bring up underage content is dishonest.
Again, loli does not refer to age. You’re confused. There are underage and underage looking anime characters. some who are loli and some who are not.
this isn’t “they’re a child and I just say they’re older”. non-loli anime children look different from loli anime adults.
lemmynsfw is clearly banning underage content and content that looks underage.
no matter how much you wish to try and twist words, the reality is that “oppai loli” is a thing that exists, and simply cannot refer to a child. to say that such is a child just shows you do not understand biology.
In terms of legality, I agree that if the server host is somewhere with particular laws, it’s understandable that those laws must be followed. Perhaps lemmynsfw’s ruling leads to illegal content for wherever kbin is hosted. In that case, I think it is fine for kbin to defederate.
Loli/shota do not refer to age. And lemmynsfw afaik has not allowed illegal content.
I looked underage for most of my adult life thus far, guess what I did? Dealt with it and enjoyed my life, I didn’t insist that we should be able to freely publish nudes of myself so that pedos can jerk off to them.
Hell we’re not even talking about free society here, if you look underage but are overage you’re still free to exhibit your body in whatever art exhibit you want, digital or irl, that doesn’t mean kbin should allow potentially illegal loli content to show up in users’ feeds.
This has nothing to do with banning and everything to do with filtering. Especially at this early moment when everyone lacks the ideal tools and functions to curate your iwn content across the Fediverse.
For now, you can always access both kbin and lemmy from a third instance thats federated with both, regardless of their direct federation to each other. When more tools exist for users to curate their own experience we can always federated up again.
Comparing the defederation of an instance for allowing underage sexual content with the very real discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people is one of the shittiest takes I have seen.
I have no idea about the context of that painting, but I don’t think the children are being sexualised in it. The under-age content that will be posted on lemmynsfw (fictional or not) will definitely be sexual in nature, and that is deeply problematic and might also be illegal in several countries. They can do whatever they want with their instance, but the users of kbin.social shouldn’t have to be looking at such content.
The linked post is saying they will allow non-irl underage-looking content.
That is illegal in Canada.
163.1 (1) In this section, child pornography means
(a) a photographic, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means,
(i) that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity
In the age of AI, it’s basically the same thing anyway. People can generate that shit now and it will look real. It’s not okay and it is illegal. It literally uses the word “depicted” which can refer to non-real stuff.
“being depicted as being under the age of eighteen years” is pretty explicitly saying ‘if this character is shown to be underage’, rather than ‘if this character might possibly be underage’
So… is all My Hero Academia porn illegal in Canada?
They started at 14, and are 16 now as far as I understand.
I never heard anyone call that stuff CP, although it technically would have to be, as long as the artist doesn’t somehow clarify “this is art from a future version, where they’re all 18, they just look the same because awesome genes” or whatever.
I’m not familiar with that so I cannot say. I’ve included a link to the law as it is written. If it fits the description, someone intended to be under the age of 18 displayed in a sexual fashion, then yes.
but the users of kbin.social shouldn’t have to be looking at such content.
Idk, as kbin.social user I was not looking to such content until you mentioned it. And since I don’t follow that instance I will not be looking to such content in the future
You do “follow” that instance because you are part of kbin.social which is federated with it. You could go in and block each of the magazines/threads from there or whatever the term is on Lemmy, and block the users you don’t want to see content from, but kbin.social is federated with lemmynsfw, so that content has the ability to show up in your “all” or “random” feeds unless we defederate -which is the question being asked. So you very well could really l easily have that content in your feed in the best future
You do “follow” that instance because you are part of kbin.social which is federated with it
No, I don’t. My starting page is https://kbin.social/sub so I only see magazines I’m subscribed to. And most often than not I have federation turned off, as I find duplicated content annoying and useless
Rather than blacklisting magazines I whitelist magazines and I only see the content I want.
Also, I removed the “random posts” section with uBlock origin (uBlock origin does more than just blocking ads, you can select and remove parts of a website entirely, by doing that the website work load is reduced and also loads faster), so this situation you describe:
So you very well could really l easily have that content in your feed in the best future
won’t happen
The only feature I really miss is having content ordered by “newest” by default (something I had on reddit using the third party app “Joey”)
You can go make an account on porn instances or whatever for yourself. I have nsfw content blocked, and I blocked the community in question already. I’m not here for porn. There’s a million other places you can get your porn.
With the rapid growth of Lemmy and the fediverse in general, a lot of nsfw stuff isn’t getting properly tagged. I don’t want to see it. I wish I didn’t have to. Saw a giant wang yesterday against my will. So I’d rather it just wasn’t allowed, since there are literally a million other ways to get your porn fix. But there aren’t a million other active forums for everything else here.
You can look like a gorilla or a dragon or a giant talking penis in the Metaverse. Spend five minutes walking down the Street and you will see all of these.
Paedos should be castrated and thrown into the deepest hole and never leave, as they hurt children. Nobody is defending those people, but drawings are not children, nobody is harmed. That’s an important difference
We should ban violent videogames . Everybody know people who play violent videogames are violent. Peolpe claiming “It’S jUsT a GaMe” are protecting violent people
P.S. I hope you don’t like shaved vaginas, btw, people who like shaved genitals are just ill people people who want to see kid-like genitals without any hair i.e. paedos
Nah mate, people liking violent video games does not make them violent. People seeking sexual gratification from underage looking cartoons are definitely paedos, and you’re a fucking moron at best if you can’t see that. Probably just trying to defend your own proclivities though lmao.
Go find your shitty twisted instance and sit there with the rest of the 4chan incels if you want, but you don’t need that instance federated with anyone else.
There is nothing dramatic about it. Defederating from problematic instances is nothing new for federated platforms.
Access to content should not be difficulted by puritan views. If people enjoy gore and create an instance about gore in movies showing very explicit (yet fictional) images of dismemberments and stuff in movies it should be banned too because is morally questionable?

It’s a painting exposed in an important museum
Access to content should be based on LEGALITY though. And it turns out this is ILLEGAL in a lot of places.
Michelangelo’s David is pornography in a lot of places. let’s forbid it everywhere

And, uh, Poland. You know. That place where ernest is from, and whose laws he’s beholden to.
Why not just create a separate account for nsfw stuff? Why would you need it on the front page of your main account while scrolling anyways?
We’re not talking about pornography laws that were enacted with no basis in harm reduction, we’re talking about child porn laws that were enacted to not encourage and normalize pedophiles and pedophilia.

Ireland is a third world country, literally

And Ireland remained neutral, like other countries Finland, Sweden, Switzerland or Austria, making those countries third world countries, literally
Saying or implying third world countries are underdeveloped/poor countries is just a really bad stereotipe and shows your inculture

lemmynsfw explicitly stated they don’t allow underage content.
Yeah even fictional suggestive content is illegal in Canada. And I’m glad!

lemmynsfw said they don’t allow underage content though. so that’s unrelated to their ruling. their ruling applies to adult content, not underage.
The linked post is saying they will allow non-irl underage-looking content.
That is illegal in Canada.
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-163.1.html
that applies to people, not drawings.
I’d encourage you to read what I just posted because drawings would fall under “other visual representations”
it’s talking about depictions of actual people, not fictional characters.
If you’re going to be that level of pedantic then it’s clear you already have an idea in your head and don’t care to be informed.
OK, more concretely then, sexualised drawings of people who are or appear to be under 18 are illegal in the UK.
This is an odd hill to die on if you’re not interested in looking at sexualised drawings of people who are or appear to be under 18.
In the age of AI, it’s basically the same thing anyway. People can generate that shit now and it will look real. It’s not okay and it is illegal. It literally uses the word “depicted” which can refer to non-real stuff.
this has already been covered in courts. realistic looking imagery of children counts as cp. drawn anime characters do not.
“being depicted as being under the age of eighteen years” is pretty explicitly saying ‘if this character is shown to be underage’, rather than ‘if this character might possibly be underage’
So… is all My Hero Academia porn illegal in Canada?

Me neither (people can see the magazines I follow, that’s public), that’s why I don’t have a problem with NSFW instances doing whatever they want.
I’m not here to impose my personal views onto others neither
With the rapid growth of Lemmy and the fediverse in general, a lot of nsfw stuff isn’t getting properly tagged. I don’t want to see it. I wish I didn’t have to.

The lengths people will go to to defend paedos is striking.
The venn diagram of pedo supporters and alt right is almost a circle.
Paedos should be castrated and thrown into the deepest hole and never leave, as they hurt children. Nobody is defending those people, but drawings are not children, nobody is harmed. That’s an important difference
People who seek out sexual representation of people that look underage are paedos, and those that claim “iT’s JuSt DrAwInGs” are protecting paedos.
This is your argument:
We should ban violent videogames . Everybody know people who play violent videogames are violent. Peolpe claiming “It’S jUsT a GaMe” are protecting violent people
P.S. I hope you don’t like shaved vaginas, btw, people who like shaved genitals are just ill people people who want to see kid-like genitals without any hair i.e. paedos
lmfao, you’re reaching so hard to defend paedos.
No, I’m not defending paedos. But, unlike you, I’m not an hypocrite
Nah mate, people liking violent video games does not make them violent. People seeking sexual gratification from underage looking cartoons are definitely paedos, and you’re a fucking moron at best if you can’t see that. Probably just trying to defend your own proclivities though lmao.
Go find your shitty twisted instance and sit there with the rest of the 4chan incels if you want, but you don’t need that instance federated with anyone else.
If you want legally questionable material, gore, or other shit, you’re free to spin up your own instance. Your access to it is not being fettered.
You’re just not entitled to access it using someone else’s website.
Heh. If we’re giving examples from art, probably the most-famous romance work in the English language is Romeo and Juliet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet
That being said, I don’t think that a work being part of cultural canon entails that someone needs to personally consider it acceptable to themselves.
They also don’t have sex in that play. It’s a romance, not erotica
deleted by creator
You know what you can do if you want to see that content? Subscribe to that instance or an instance that is federated with it. Easy
Not easy when instances start defederating stuff, forcing users to create new accounts on other instances
this isn’t problematic. there’s literally nothing illegal about lemmynsfw. since there is nothing illegal on there, it’s not problematic. that simple.
So, in a month we can expect a mass repression in kbin?
Really, it’s just good housekeeping.
