Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I'll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.

What is loli?

Underage anime girl

That's not true. It's a petite anime girl, not underage. People keep trying to conflate the two. It's weird because even if they have big boobs and are obviously legal people still try to shove them into the title of being underage. (like the petite sensei, Uzaki, and Hestia from Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon).

I mean yeah of course. That character is actually a 9000-year old vampire, not a child

Oh come on, the examples I gave are one in their twenties, one in college, and one who's a god. Their stories completely revolve around them being their ages. You are doing the exact conflating of the two I was talking about.

I agree with you technically kinda, but the average person doesn't (and never will) see a difference and trying to explain it just makes it seem to them that you are defending it.

If a normal person sees it and says .. "thats wrong" then it shouldn't be included in a default feed.

I wasn't even talking about whether or not it should be included in the feed. I was just saying their definition is completely wrong. Defining things improperly is the basis for spreading misinformation about something.

[-] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 years ago

and I'm saying that sometimes the definition is irrelevant in the eyes of public opinion. If a character looks like a child, then that is all that matters.

But when somebody is literally asking for the definition of something, and the wrong definition is given, that's not a visual perception issue, that's misinformation.

BTW: thank you for actually talking about this. Most people nowadays are too pig headed to have an actual conversation.
