Twitter annouces it's banning all depictions of child pornography, including loli and shota art

The legality of loli and similar stuff has always been in the legal grey area, mainly because it's a constitutional conundrum.
I think it's one of those things where platforms don't actively police these legal grey areas. This means the people seeking it out find pockets and people who post it, and those who... well obviously aren't seeking it out are not going to be reporting it because they aren't seeing it.
They saw advertisers pulling from youtube and trying to preempt any bad publicity coming their way.
There will for sure be a lot of arguments over what "sexually explicit" means.
I believe she was.
Code of Princess is also a little bit of a weird case. The artist of the game was also the writer, and she inserted a ton of gags making fun of the main character's "dress", where the main character insists that it's actually normal and fashionable. If you look at the other games she does artwork for there's often female character that stands out for being half-dressed (Rogue in Shadow over Mystara, Lotus in 999, Alice in Virtue's Last Reward, etc.) so I get the sense that it's something the artist genuinely likes doing rather than just a cynical grab. I'll leave it up to you if that makes it better; I personally thought the main character in Code of Princess was a bit much for me.
This is very good, and well overdue. That being said, I wonder about the ramifications for characters that are underaged despite the content or appearance of the characters themselves. This'll have more ramifications than simply banning Loli and Shota and cub stuff, and might affect tangential stuff simply because anime, manga, games etc often feature high schoolers who are technically underage.
I'm still 100% for it and think it's about time, just curious to think about what the ripples will be like down the line. Fandom twitter is definitely gonna be affected. It's also gonna mean that linked sites also need to change their guidelines, so imageboards and other alternative community sites might need to change their posting guidelines or fear the blacklist. Still, about fucking time.

Probably the youtube scandal making Twitter want to cover their bases before something blew up.
Yeah I avoided posting here but I'd be pretty annoyed if people got banned for stuff like Kim Possible porn because some Twitter mod looked on a wiki and found her last age to be 17.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean, one of the greatest novels of the 20th century is from the point of view of a child molester so... yeah? And even in this thread there's posts about Big Mouth and how that's a show all about child sexuality that Netflix keeps advertising to me.
These are legitimate. Comic books that exist only for internet creeps to jerk off to aren't. A Twitter ban isn't going to harm those legitimate portrayals.

This is gonna upset the pedo Splatoon community oof especially the japanese side. But thank god its about time those filths get banned.
It's a made up example, Kim is 18 by the graduation finale. But still I don't really feel like designs like that should get people in trouble.

User Banned (1 Month): Pattern of drive-by posts in threads concerning sexualisation of minors. History of severe infractions.
Whatever.
Wait, are we talking about Lolita? For one thing, hasn't that always had mixed reception, and for the other, isn't the "depiction of child sexuality" just the main character imagining that the kid is seducing him to justify the fact that he's a child molester?
I hope it'll be easy enough to spot the difference, but I'm curious where stuff like this falls...
But yeah, agree with the move in general.
I'll be honest, while not sexualised, anyone making that picture for their patreon subscribers gets a serious side eye from me.
some say it's one of the greatest works of literature in the 21st century!
I'm still not sure how you actually regulate this. When there's no actual age how do you determine one?
I really don't think "sexually explicit" falls under the "vague" category of things.
I guess they're just gonna eyeball it and it will determine on whoever comes across a post
Yeah this is why I didn't bother posting, it's an example of a popular character that could or could not break such rules depending on the person enforcing.
You'd be surprised. Especially since lolicon isn't outright singled out, people will try to find loopholes. Reddit they actually mention lolicon is banned, in this message they aren't saying it specifically. It's too vague.
easy, looks. you don't need a fake age to know if the thing is supposed to be lolicon shit or not.
Midna looks like a child to me tbh, pretty suspect yourself
If youre a creator, I guess by having characters randomly remark about how fun their 18th birthday parties were
Having just read the book for the first time, I was surprised how it gets portrayed in other media. I was under the impression that the protagonist was seduced by a preteen girl who then gave into temptation. But no, he is a monster that targeted her and she barely showed any real interest in him at first. The writing is beautiful and the actions are despicable. The fact that it is written in the first person and would constitute an unreliable narrator, means the implied actual events were a million times worse.
It is a worthwhile book to exist even if the protagonist is horrible but gives insight into that kind of mind.
Is there a reason why people even go to twitter or used to for tumblr for porn anyway? Like I would think people would want to keep that stuff to rule 34 and porn sites.
I thought it was well known the entire hook of the book was the reader was dealing with an unreliable narrator?
Complex lol? Complex as in the 10 year old girl is actually a 1000 year old wizard complex?
