There are heaps of men calling it adorable and referring to the girls as "lolis" and some other Japanese word for pretty child girl. Whether purp meant it that way or not, it's not something I would want to be associated with. I'm only stopping short of assuming his intention. Now that I somewhat understand what was happening in the video, I'm sure it's creepy for normies, not creepy to regular anime fans.
Yep. This is exactly why it was a temp ban. If we thought he was trying to start a conversation about pedophilia or share his interest in any way we would have had zero tolerance.
The content of the video was enough that we felt we needed to take action and make it clear that it was over the line. I don't make any guesses as to purple's... purpose? (sorry) in posting the video.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yabut, in Japan a person can buy underwear worn by prepubescent girls from vending machines. I sure as hell don't kink that way, but my sons are all over the internet, and come back with strange tales.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Or any child/teen sexual abuse. A ban from this site would be the least of their worries. I'm a tattletale.

What "it" was specifically, was Lolicon anime. And there are many, many people who would strongly disagree with your guess of the genre not having anything to do with pedophilia.
Including the concerned parents and citizens groups of Japan actively campaigning for more stringent regulations of it.

I just got onto the Lolicon wikipedia entry and even that is hard to look at.

For the record, my posts in response to purplepurpose in the deleted thread clearly gave him the benefit of the doubt as to assuming his interests/intent. I simply told him that the vid was creepy and suggested that he vet material more thoroughly before posting it and deeming it "cute".
My opinion on the subject of Lolicon manga/anime in and of itself, however: While it's not child pornography in that it doesn't contain explicit sexual content and is comprised of drawn images, the genre is clearly an expression of pedophilic fascination/interest in it's blatant Lolita theme and in-your-face sexual overtones. Fans maintain that it's simply an appreciation for the aesthetic of "little girl cuteness."
Folks can make what they will of that.

I agree on every point. That shit is just creepy and way too pedo regardless of how some claim to regard it.

What’s done is done. I expect that when/if purple returns there may be some explanation however we Are duty bound to act on what we see and we had to act immediately following discussion and consensus amongst the staff. Honestly, however one takes the content, we don’t want that kind of stuff on AF
