Onionket 5 is This Weekend, August 19th and 20th
The 5th Onion Comic Market (or "Onionket") is coming up this weekend, and the event catalog is available for everybody to browse now. Over a dozen artists, writers, coders, and more share their work with the world, free from the fear of censorship.
Onionket is a decentralized, censorship-resistant online doujin/art festival hosted exclusively in the Dark Web. Onionket gives artists a SIMPLE, FREE, and CENSORSHIP-RESISTANT way to distribute their work. Using an open-source program called "OnionShare", each artist creates and hosts their own simple .onion website on the Tor network. Onionket collects and publishes a catalog of these links, allowing others to browse and access them.
Each site is totally under the artist's control, making censorship impossible. And being on the Tor network means heightened privacy for fans and artists alike. Many artists also have support links and wallet addresses for Monero and other cryptocurrencies, should any followers feel like supporting their work.
There's also the official Onionket 5 Livestream, hosted on PeerTube on Saturday, August 19th, from 2pm to 4pm, and again from 9pm to 11pm JST. Chat with circle owners and other participants will be available in the live window, as well as an OnionShare-powered Tor chatroom, a Session Closed Group, and an XMPP chatroom over Tor provided by our friends at Libreshack

The Onionket 5 catalog is now available on our main site, as well as mirrors on a noJavaScript page, a Tor onion site, and an i2p eepsite. Check out the circles, and if you see something you like, feel free to visit over the two days of the event.
Join Onionket, and together we can say NO to censorship

As much as I like the use of Tor, Monero etc I can't help but think this is just marketing for a bunch of child molesters to distribute sexualized drawings of small children. That's what this is, right? Besides using monero, which is just like using cash, how is this relevant to the Monero community?
I can see your point + I know nothing about this OnionKet thing. Generally, though, afaik, Dōjinshi is not a kid porn, abusing real-life, existing children. Those stories are typically based on manga/anime, where characters are totally fictional, unrelated to real-life children at all (thus no real victims, except ethical questions are still possible). In some countries, drawings of non-existing (fictional) persons may be still illegal. In some other countries, they're legal (as in Finland, maybe). That's what I think, though not too sure and I'm not a dōjinshi writer/reader at all. Honestly, not sure how "bad" they are.
But generally, it's a nice thing that creators try something new, something experimental, fighting back against excessive, censorship (not to say, it'll be absolutely good, though).
＠onionket_staff@mitra.anon-kenkai.com よく分からないけど、うまくいくといいですね＾＾ 弾圧の口実を与えないように、あまりにアレなのは排除した方がいいかもみたいな気もするけど。。。とりあえずグッドラック♪
Oh I'm aware that it's victimless, entirely fictional and so not morally wrong. But it does tell me something about the individuals who partake and so I am free to make my own judgments about people. I think, if I took bets that the individuals who enjoy it also would (or do) enjoy children sexually I'd probably come out ahead financially. I don't like those kinds of people.
Besides, I still fail to see how it's relevant to discussion about Monero.
True. It's not much related to Monero. OP only says, "Many artists also have support links and wallet addresses for Monero" i.e. "accepting donations in Monero" which is nothing notable. (Many devs accept donations in XMR.) If they like Monero, that is good (though nothing more)...
Making such bets on people you know nothing else about shows how much of a shallow judgmental person you are
OK well you enjoy stumbling through life with no heuristics, I'm gonna make sure my kids don't get fucked. If I misjudge a few people along the way, what does my opinion matter to them anyway.
"If I offend other people by implying that they wanna molest children even though I know nothing about their lives, personalities or socio-economic backgrounds them so be it! What does my opinion matter to them?"
Yeah, great use of using one single variable in your heuristics there. I'm sure that's how scientists conduct their research
I don't give a fuck if I offend someone. And you don't either, these drawings offend plenty of people, I don't see you changing your tune about them. Nobody should ever give a fuck if they offend someone.
Look man, if youre going to tell me that my heuristic is coming out of left field you're delusional or disingenuous or both. I do know something about their lives, I know that they enjoy drawings of children getting fucked. I don't think it's a stretch to conclude that the percentage of child molesters in that set of people is probably higher than ambient.
It is a stretch. Researchers can't even find a conclusive link between watching actual child porn and actually molesting children (emphasis on 'actual', not even 'fictional').
And you're here telling me that you are more intelligent than them in deciding whether such a link exists or not.
You either have done no research when basing your 'heuristics' on, or you are deliberately ignoring it and just trying to call people that commit a victimless crime "child molesters" because of your "heuristics".
Man, I sure wish the police would also use shoddily designed heuristics to decide when to arrest a person
Lol man you've got to be joking. If """researchers""" can't find a link between CP and child molesters then yeah I am more intelligent than them. Who are these researchers BTW?
Alright look, I don't think drawings should be illegal. I don't even think promoting this onionkon thing should be banned off this server, my whole point was that it's irrelevant in !monero. Go, enjoy your drawings. Jack off to them if you want, I don't care. I'm just not inviting you over for dinner, as is my right. Also, I'm going to continue to assume that you're a child molester, which is also my right.
I suggest you read actual research before trying to appear smart on the internet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between_child_pornography_and_child_sexual_abuse
Do whatever you want.
Assuming is the only thing you've been doing all this time, apparently.
Really sad I can't come over to dinner to someone who's more intelligent than actual scientists though. Real bummer.
Lol that research is about whether watching CP causes people to become child molesters, not whether they're more likely to already be a child molester. Are you really going to argue that child molesters aren't more likely to be the target audience for CP? That if I pick a random group of CP enjoyers, and a random group of people, that there won't be a higher proportion of child molesters in the former group? You're being serious?
Youre being sarcastic, but you're proving a point I made: You don't care what my opinion is, like I said. You're not trying to be my friend.
I'm not arguing that. You're the one who's disingenuous, though, since you've been arguing the reverse all along.
It's not that child molesters are more likely to consume CP, it's that you're saying that people that consume CP are more likely to be child molesters. That's what you've been arguing for all along, and now suddenly you switched to arguing the reverse now, when you're losing the argument.
If these two statements are the same to you, then I would suggest not bothering with using heuristics. You're clearly not good at understanding scientific data
