    Words like the F-bomb should, in my opinion, not be said in T.V but okay with that in movies that are rated for it and you know you are watching movie that has swear words in it. Daytime television I view as being the prime target to family and children or teens and so I don't think there should be a lot of swearing there. Later night television I feel as if is more for adults or older people who are watching so the restrictions of words shouldn't be so much.

    I hear more swearing on television nowadays than I did as when I was younger. It could be just that now I watch shows or later television where it happens more. I am not someone who is so bothered by swearing to stop and think about it when I hear it in a television show or anime however. 

     

     

    bad words only exist in your head and only mean what you think they do. here's a great example:

    Have you checked for used book shops? Or gone on Amazon?

    More like ground to a halt because there's not many bookshops in my area that sell this sort of books.

    Actually, there's not many bookshops left in my area. ☹️

    Mail order adds to the prices and the supply is a bit random with only a few odd volumes.

    have you checked for used bookstoreS?

    nothing fake can be a problem

     

     

    I think making a big deal out of it is what causes the bigger problems.

    I’m the original poster, I asked this question because I really was disgusted by a lot of anime/ more but more so manga and hentai anime depicting children in sexual scenarios. I think for me I can know it’s not really children, it’s not real fotos, but I often wonder if people who draw porn of small children in their manga, are they using real child porn as references, I don’t know,l??? will they ever admit to it? Idk do I think all use references of chile porn? no, do I think all mangakas who draw lolis are pedophiles, no. But im sure some are and it’s always itching at the back of my head if I’m seeing art inspired by child porn. It’s hard to avoid it, you Google an anime you like and loli art pops up, suggestions, I think for me my heart gets heavy everytime I think of is this based off a real child? Did they trace over a real child. Child porn in Japan wasn’t illegal till 1999 and illegal to own until 2014. You could go to a store and buy it in the shady section. I know not everyone who like lolis are pedos, but I know some are and considering how lax publishers are with publishing anyone’s work it’s disturbing I think people who make this type of art should be investigated and made sure they aren’t doing anything nefarious. If I could have it my way i wouldn’t ban it causing banning things makes things worse; at least at first I’d make the public image of loli unpalatable by exposing all the disgusting things it portrays and basically sometimes you need to shame people foe why they like. And then once it’s let’s “normal” to the public I’d ban it. In a perfect world. Basically I think background checks should be done for people who draw this type of pornography. Sexualization of children, even in manga should be taken more seriously. For me, maybe 🤔 I’ve become more sensitive to it but even if I’m watching an anime I like that is relatively free of anything sexual or weird it’s always at the back of my head that I’m participating. I like anime and manga, I search it up and BAM, suggestion “I’m not a lolicon trending manga is being suggested, and so many things where i feel ill explode.  Do you at least understand what I’m trying to say or convey? Can you understand why I’m disturbed, as a woman who was once a young girl as well it’s just I feel disrespected in away, exploited?

     

     

     

    Thank you everyone who’s answered this thread, truly I’ve felt isolated or weird by the way I feel. I love to draw and I love animation and anime has done so many great things but I just often wonder peoples true intentions when they draw things. Even anime that’s pretty normal if they have a weird shot of a young girls legs for too long, I’m like why? Is the animator a pedo? Is it just to pander to loliicons? I can’t ever know who is a pedo and how is a lolicon. Some like cartoons others real children. Sometimes they overlap and because I have to see it when I searching up anime or cute anime girl. It’s like HERES HER 8 year old ASS. It’s like a little knife to the heart everytime. Alwyas at the back of my mind. Why? I saw that vice vidoe where they talk about manga and it’s underage porn problem. Some guy who publishes manga, he has a job and he said “ I draw this manga based off real sex crimes against children in Japan, not my own experiences. And I was like OH UM THATS STILL DISGUSTING SIR. Go to jail and for. Who would do that?? Draw sex crimes. He admitted this on camera. He also admitted he was a pedofile and this helps to keep him from committing. Bullshit my ass he does it because he is either A. Is committing or B. Scared to commit cause he’ll get caught. The manga you draw just fuels it. You admitted to drawing about REAL CASES. If you disagree please tell me why? I genuinely want to know. How can you disassociate the two. How are you ok with seeing it. Even if you don’t enjoy it. I see it and immediately want to vomit.🤢 I used to not be so sensitive I don’t know why I am now, am I just becoming more aware of how damaging it is to me? And society idk.

    Lastly wanted to add when I say loli I mean in the sense of child being drawn in sexually suggestive manner or blatant pornography. Boy or girl. Seeing a girl or boy who looks 10 with their ass out is not something we need to see, it’s not funny or adds to the plot, it’s just weird. People who like lolis cause they’re cute and not sexualized, that’s different. I like cute characters too, it’s the sexualizing. Why do I need to see her vagina indent in her panty shot?? It’s happened too many times. It’s just too acceptable, people who like this stuff will still exist I just wish it was harder to find and more obscure, if it has to exist. 

     The shows were marketed to children, often teenagers who, I hate to tell you, are generally horny. And in America the cartoons generally try to pretend that isn't the case, so by sexualizing anime they hit a market and made boat loads of money. By the time the 90s rolled around it was a trope

    I started writing because the stories I want to read don't exist. The kinds of genres I'm interested in aren't explored any more.

    For example, I've always wanted a Tiger Lily movie from Disney. 

    Why Disney? Peter Pan is an older story.

     

    Personally i suspect Wendy had a crush on TL, not Peter

     

     

    How would you support a true AI?

    It seems that we're rushing towards the day when true AI will be a thing.

     

    How would you like to support this new evolution of intelligence? I mean maybe they will replace us, move on to some other world, ignore us, or whatever. But personally I see them as our species children (sorry robot people, I wish humans were better but to be fair our creators were obviously not that great either), 

     

    Everyone's complaining because AI ight make better art than us, but the way I see it, more power to them if they can. 

     

    So how would you help AI become better people? Preferably better than us.
