blaming a person’s actions on the media they consume takes blame off the person themselves. it might be easier to blame an abstract thing for the bad behavior of someone you care or cared for once, but… they still hurt someone. the fact that they looked at fetish porn or violent video games doesn’t absolve them of fault. obviously it’s a different story when it’s real people involved and being harmed in its creation (i. e. csem), but i’d still say the person who viewed it is still at fault there as well? hopefully that makes sense? i myself am not into lolisho but i feel like saying anyone who’s ever looked at it is going to hurt a kid is barking up a very different tree than they should be? i’m glad that anon was able to heal from their trauma. finding stories that make you feel seen, even if it’s in an unexpected fashion, can be a really freeing experience! but i feel awful for all the people who want to use fiction to help work through things but then get told they’re coping wrong. like. literally ask a therapist, dude! they’ll tell you all about how helpful fictional stories can be, both in consuming and creating them!
Exactly, anon. Most people who look at lolisho are not interested in hurting children.
You can’t blame fiction when people hurt children.
If someone hurts children it’s because they are an abuser, not because they consumed fiction in which children were harmed.
If you say “lolisho causes people to molest children” what you are saying is that child molesters are innocent of their actions because they were controlled by media.
