Can't draw heavily censored sexual depictions of non-existent minors.
Can cut off parts of baby dicks, grind them up, and then sell them so people can rub it all over their faces.
Makes sense.

These types of laws are especially problematic for running federated services like the Kiwi Farms Pleroma instance. There's a lot of Japanese users on the fediverse specifically because Twitter bans loli. Many instances outright de-federate from these Japanese instances because they don't want the potential legal liability. They're not even your users, it's just data that shows up in your database from the users of other instances. If you just start openly federating with the whole network you _will_ be exposed to this pseudo-illegal imagery that is simultaneously legal in the center of the internet: America.

The current state of international law is basically incompatible with the internet in this regard. You're making your own citizens perpetual criminals where you pinky swear you'll only prosecute them if they're especially problematic which, is a nebulous definition.

The same way you can't stop a raper by castration (it will still fuck your ass with something else) you can't stop a pedo from diddling kiddos by banning drawings, it's re.tarded.
This is why sane people want rapists and pedophiles executed; dead people can't reoffend.

I've already mentioned this in many a thread but:

Drawings aren't pedophilia. Real pedophilia is horrifying. Drawings don't come close. Nothing drawn is real. No drawn character was ever harmed. I think its a disservice to even compare the two with the real sick shit that goes on.

Also this has nothing to do with child welfare and is purely a xenophobic move by South Korea to prevent the influence of Japan. Anyone thinking this has anything to do with morality is a joke.

EDIT:
This has been going on in SK for awhile. SK has wanted to ban anime and Japanese manga for a very long time. Not just 'sexually explicit' versions of them, all of them. The problem is they're not China and have to feign Democracy and just can't go 'BAN IT'. So this is laying the foundation for that, so anyone celebrating this is celebrating a road to censorship that has been a long time in the making. SK is also extremely censorious as well and has a similar firewall to China. Also, SK pop idols are frequently underage and highly sexualized, so once again, this isn't 'for the children'. Its 'for the integrity of our country'.

People just forget how nationalistic, authoritarian and censorious SK is. There's also a large conflict with the older conservatives and younger liberals coming up. The older conservatives want to intensify authoritarianism while the liberals want a more open society. This is a large, boiling conflict in South Korea. Foreign influence is being blamed for this gulf, hence the desire to ban Japanese entertainment en masse.

K but that doesn’t mean I can’t find those drawings and the people who enjoy them degenerate.

Feel free, I'm not saying you shouldn't.

The lengths some people will go to in order to justify beating their meat to animated children always astounds me.

They're not real and you should never give the government power to censor something that isn't real, no matter how distasteful you find it.

In this instance, you'd be giving the government authority to ban what they consider a foreign influence over their youth. They believe Japan is fostering liberal ideology. You'd be empowering this government to censor foreign influences, in which the justification will grow more and more flimsy with the more power to censor you give them.

This is, at its heart, a political conflict. This is not about morality. So absolutely no power to the government should be given, because they will seek more extreme amounts of redress for it.

Anime should be declared illegal and all weebs made to watch Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett joints in reeducation camps until they renounce their degenerate ways.
Censorfag, I go full weeaboo off topic even in other threads, and I own it. America's even had a fucking 30-40 year window to make their own anime shit legit and add to the global rolling ball, and all we get is fucking dangerhair CalArts fuckery and rich basement dwellers whining about how Akihabara isn't a place for otaku to get blowjobs at when they visited. You and dipshits like Webby's Boyfriend only snake in when you get a coward's chance to strike too. You also chose a very bad night to post this up. Surprise, motherfucker.

That's a whole lot of words to say "I'm a pedo and I'm offended by this."

SK seems rather schizo when it comes to explicit content. One the one hand, the OP and the pornography ban. On the other hand, there's music videos like this that despite lacking any overt nudity, somehow come across as more depraved than actual porn. Fun fact: the director didn't tell the girl about "that" particular closeup and as a result, she can't bring herself to drink m!lk anymore.
