@p @Joqlom @modfaggotry nah im going to call you out, pete:
you arent a fucking lawyer. im not going to pretend i am either, but i do not appreciate someone flailing their arms asserting that x is y because they think x should be y, despite preliminary sources disagreeing with you. pornography has a nuanced definition in the eye of the law, so does obscenity, so does consent. youre entirely ignoring that with the way you handle situations like this.
does it *look* like cp at first glance? perhaps. do you feel like the instance is jeopardised by hosting it? perhaps. but say that, and dont out yourself as a dumbass with your crusade against "diaper snipers" when you make NO attempt to keep your fucking calm with cases like this.
you have a successful instance, people look up to you and what youre doing, im sure you know this already. but at this point you seemed to gain some dumb cult following where everyone is backing you up, not only with decisions like this one, but also with your other childish crusades against what you claim to be sockpuppet accounts. i dont care if youre right or wrong, you make a fucking spectacle about it and seek drama. its getting to your head compared to how you were here even a year back.
it isn't flattering on you, and so far i havent really seen a need to point it out, because i'd be lying if i said i don't have my own fun against people. i say dumb immature shit too, i deleted zero posts from
@administrator so you can see my dumb shit, but i recognise that it's dumb shit, and moving on, i want to attempt moving past that and trying not to let my emotion or playfulness get in the way of my administrative reasoning. (really, it's part of a broader social issue i recognised in myself at this point, so i'd do well to follow through with changing.)
i dont see how you nor anyone can suddenly full-stop to a halt with the leap between nazis and murderers, to paedophiles. and in this case, i dont see how you could jump to the conclusion that this new person on your instance said "oh yeah im gonna get this pete guy in trouble". if the rules say "dont post anything illegal" and something is demonstrably legal (in general, not asserting whether this case was cp), the person is going to feel at liberty to post that thing, since they know that they are not doing anything wrong, within that one rule. so, you're making a bold assumption thinking that this person was trying to start shit. maybe he was, but as an admin you dont really get to make that call. say "i dont feel comfortable having this dude on here", delete the post, ask him to leave or ban him, and call it a fucking day, jesus.
youve done this with lolicon already: to paraphrase yourself, it's a legal grey area, you feel uncomfortable hosting it. why not do that same exact fucking thing here?
oh right, normal operation suddenly grinds to a halt when it's a paedophile doing it. hell, if i wasnt broke right now, i'd post nude child model shit on here just so everyone would shut up about it. i'm not the slightest attracted to kids, i have a healthy relationship with someone my age, and i just want to post that shit because i dont give a fuck about this moral craze and i want people to stop being fucking afraid of what they can post. that's my goal. as stupid as it is, i'll die on this hill specifically, just because it is the ultimate middle finger to anyone who pretends they have morals. not talking you specifically here, but im just tired of *everyone* who loses their shit because they see something that they were conditioned to treat as offensive.
and its clear you specifically have your guard up against paedophiles, you (as with plenty of others) take no effort to understand why theyre attracted to kids, just like the Woke Niggas take no effort to understand why people prefer right-wing ideologies, just like the white nationalists take no effort to understand motives of any other race, just like plenty of people dont take the effort to understand why i'm trans.
so yes, it is personal to me, and ive vowed to myself that i would hear out anyone, *even* paedophiles, even to the point of giving them the benefit of the doubt where no one else will.
ive debated quickly with myself after this incident though, and ive decided that for now, i want to take action against child nudity, even if it's legal. i just dont want to put up with the liability, just like you dont. but im not gonna pretend its something that it isnt.
theres my take, loud and clear for the record. anyone can please feel free to call me an apologist or an outright child rapist if they want, wouldnt be the first time. but i feel strongly enough about freedom and nonjudgment/understanding, that i cannot back down from this one.
