Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
I know there are people out there with the ability to control themselves, they can think logically and throw together good arguments, conduct protests against people like these CNN fucks, etc. I wish them the best of luck.

But when I hear shit like this it just fills me with hate, especially when it comes to people stepping in and trying to censor stuff that I like when I'm minding my own business and not causing anyone else any harm. All I can think about is how I wish I could hate these moralists to death, how I wish someone would kill them and all their family and children so that their genes don't pass on, etc. I can't imagine how anyone could ever think the way these pro-censorship faggots do, and the way they think is so different than the way I think that I cannot feel any kind of empathy for them, I can't even think of them as human beings, and I think some sort of evolutionary instinct tells me to wipe them out because they threaten me and my little fantasy world.

Man, nobody is arguing that people should be allowed to fuck kids/donkeys/whatever. I just said I thought bestiality laws were stupid, because a lot of the time the animal wants it just as much, and I think it's dumb that it's pretty much okay to kill the animal (either for food, or simply because you want to, as long as it's done humanely) but fucking it is so much worse. Why do these special rights extend only to sexual crimes against animals?

You don't get to determine whether or not the animal wanted it. Animals can't talk, reason, or decide. They are animals. They are basically slaves.

You can't decide to fuck a horse and get away with it. Nobody is going to let that fly. You can try all the NAMBLA'esque reasoning you want to. It's not going to work.

Quite the opposite, my friend.
Attitude is everything, because when you are fighting over an issue you inevitably become the representative of the side you are defending.
By acting violent at the drop of a hat you are just giving proof that there is no peaceful or reasonable way you can make your point across. In other words, you are just telling the bystanders that you are a violent individuals and that giving you freedom will only lead to an escalation of violence.

You're acting like 4chan is the only thing that exists. You're ignoring Nogami's polite, clear article. You're ignoring the recent political coalition of Dan Kanemitsu and numerous manga authors. And you're ignoring other otaku efforts outside of 4chan to alert "normal" Japanese citizens how the recent decency pushes could even affect them.
Every movement has some crazy screaming included, especially online. Whenever the subject of Rapelay pops up, feminist message boards get filled with calls for castration and violence. This sort nasty language is inevitable, and really doesn't matter because everyone always finds some way to demonize their opponent, even if they're 100% polite and respectful.

Correct. What we're talking about is a porn industry of sorts. One that has imaginary people doing imaginary acts. What we're talking about is nothing more than glorified and spiffy porn novels and porn movies. Keep that in mind, all.

So what I'm seeing is a group of people want to start regulating themes and imaginary acts of the imaginary people of a porn industry that doesn't present itself as nothing else but a porn industry? Seems silly, but that's how it is.

You can't shut everyone up, and it only takes a few noisy otaku to break the silence. Thus it's impossible to hide from the control freaks, and they will not relent. The only viable strategy is to push back at the culture, in favour of freedom (that used to be a popular idea).

Laying low doesn't work anymore. And the potential decency bans in Japan will cover far, far more than just rape games. Last year when the Rapelay issue flared up, it was used as a political tool by the political incumbents to try to ban much more than just rape games. Otaku know from experience that this isn't just about rape games, and that laying low isn't going to work anymore.

But people consider rape to be repulsive because this is part of the human conscious, not because some man from above is telling them so.

Draw the line between fiction and reality. If you can't, it's your problem and not ours. I just don't understand where all the rape is bad faggots are coming from. a few years ago such a problem would have never been there and everyone would have agreed on one thing.

What? I'm pretty sure people see rape as repulsive because they are taught to think this way.

There's a huge difference between being a deviant versus being an illegal deviant. Laws are backed by the threat of violence and imprisonment.
Sexual deviancy shouldn't be illegal unless it directly results in real harm to other people. Passing a law against deviants who don't hurt real people means that you're arresting, imprisoning, and executing people who never actually hurt anyone else, which is wrong.
Playing rape games doesn't hurt any real people, so it would be wrong to have a law against rape games. Whether rape games are socially repulsive or not is irrelevant.

No way. Without the mosaic, Japanese porn would become like Western porn in a decade. Rather than having doujins with storylines, interesting ideas in sex, toys, and various depravities, their pron would just turn to long close ups/pictures of women's genitals, and end with a faceless guy coming on an ugly womans face. The artists attention would turn to being on the genitals and nothing else.

Personally I think rape is blown out of proportions.

It is always talked about how this scars a woman for life, but isn't it the same for things like bullying in school? I'm sure a boy flushed in a toilet is at least as mentally scarred as a woman that has been raped. Another example is when you get robbed.

I'd say the only reason rape is even talked about more than the other things, is because women like to talk loudly and victimize themselves. Men rather brush it under the carpet.
