showed up here today to start immediately hornyposting about various canonically underage anime characters.
I don't care as long as it's fictional, marked NSFW, and posted in the appropriate communities.
We have weird porn here, too. I actually prefer that it's mostly on its own lemmy (pornlemmy, lemmynsfw, etc) because users who don't want that kind of content can just block the instance and go about their lives.
Better fictional than real. Fuck sake, every time a professional psychiatrist or other professional in the field of studying behaviour. Speaks on the topic the same God damn point is made over and over and over.
Fictional characters reduce real harm. Give the freaks a safe space and moderate it properly and you are literally helping reduce actual harm.
Prohibition NEVER works. How many god damn times will people try to ban something only to find they have made the problem worse before they realize it doesn't work.
The hard part is the moderation cause no one wants to be in charge of it and you can't let people self moderate addictions and mental issues.
yes. however, recommending they seek help (although maybe in a less forcefull manner than the commenter) is not bad, as seeking psychological help also reduces real harm. If you struggle with something like this, and you live somewhere where it is possible, seeking psychological help is the best course of action.
yeah, I agree, the top level comment in this thread is gatekeeping too much.
the internet has good places for people like OP and some of them are lemmy homeservers.

No need to gatekeep the fediverse.
Edit: This post isn't even NSFW.
