Personally, I don’t necessarily care. I’ve see real children be incinerated by US made bombs in Palestine enough times that I struggle to care about some fictional drawings. Plus, I’ve never seen a firm causal link made between 4000 year old loli hentai, and actual abuse of children. It just doesn’t sound like any of my business. Not when the West is undeniably killing real children as we speak.
Weebs and GamersTM famously have less of a grasp on sex than your average porn watcher anyway. But I could always be wrong about all this, I suppose.
The point I’m making though, is that scurrying around, looking for some moral, ethical, line for what kinds of consensual acts between adults are “good” vs “bad” is a fruitless exercise. Was consent enthusiastically given? Is everyone involved adequately informed, and taking safety precautions? Then who cares? Not my monkeys, not my circus. People should be empowered by the systems around them to make their own decisions about their gender and sexuality, not arbitrarily restricted.
You expressed concern earlier about “badly misreading the room”. Just for some perspective, I have concerns about expressing my, I think very tepid, opinions about this because I know how trans women’s sexuality is twisted and warped to attack us, and I know that Hexbear is a place that can be a little trigger happy with discourse and dunking. I wouldn’t be surprised if I caught a ban for my opinions in this thread, because transmisogyny runs deep, and it doesn’t take a lot for a trans woman’s word to be twisted against her. The stakes for us are different here.
people who experience trauma sometimes want to process it in a safe controlled environment. this is different from material produced for people who would inflict abuse on others.
Then I guess I don’t understand why we hate the really a 4000 year old dragon stuff

“age play” where an adult plays a child = ok sometimes
drawing of CP for pedos to crank it to = not ok
I really don’t see what the difference is. I’d make both illegal if it were up to me but how are you drawing a line here?
