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.

Pinging @ernest as well.

    • 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

            • 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.

              • I could say all humans look under 18 to me, and thus all porn is banned.

                ultimately, loli does not refer to actual human beings. it does not refer to an age. loli characters can be undeniably adults and appear as such.

                Surely, if a character is canonically an adult, appears as an adult, is unmistakably an adult, and are not based on a real person, then they can’t possibly fall under what you are saying, yes?

                • Yeah but that would be bullshit, and frankly your definition (which appears to be being skewed by a desire to look at sexual cartoons of children) would not need to be believed by anyone else.

                  “Canonically” also doesn’t matter because someone saying “actually this person who looks exactly like a five year old girl is a million years old” also doesn’t have to be believed by anyone else.

                  That is why the UK law is “appear to be” - specifically to avoid consumers of child pornography, real or drawn, pulling dumb stunts like that.

        • 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.

      • 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.
