SEE SECOND EDIT DOWN BELOW
Lets not beat around the bush here, lots of people like to look at boobs and dicks.
Lemmynsfw was looking like a good place to go, but reading the "Loli" announcement thread where they equate drawn child porn to petite women, its clear the owner is not the right person to be hosting a NSFW instance for the majority of people.
Is there anywhere else that people can recommend?
There is undoubtably a need for such an instance. Can we discuss this like adults?
edit: UPDATE
Take this update as you will
I'm taking it as a backtrack, but it's still not an instance I want to associate with.
Lots of people keen to offer their opinion of drawn picture of naked kids, haven't seen any alternatives though
Edit 2: At this point I think their updated rules are good. It took a bit to get there, but in the end they appear to be taking a hard stance. Hopefully this is enforced.
I dont think it was a case of "whoops bad English" like they are suggesting, I think it was a total 180 backflip. This doesnt really instill confidence in the admins IMO, but im happy that they have made the right decision in regards to allowed content. Hopefully this is was just some early wobblies and the community can move on.
That is wild, I made an account on there last night so I was curious to find the announcement post. Evidently lots of people are quite outraged. I also noticed as of a few minutes ago a clarification post has been made: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826
To quote:
I'm not sure what to make of all this; it's a bit iffy to me so I'll be on the lookout for another NSFW related Lemmy community. There were a couple of folks in the comments of the original announcement post stating they're gonna make their own instance so we'll see how that pans out.
The heading of the post is, and I quote
Maybe they minced words being non English as their first language.
I understand that, languages are tough.
That said, the fact that it isn't a hard line on that shit is enough for the majority of people to want another instance.
I'm not trying to have them closed. I'm not fronting a resistance to have people not go there. As far as I'm concerned its "legal" and whatever, but at the end of the day the majority of people are not only not interested, but disgusted by that.
Being real here, if I'm looking at nude content, as lots of us do, there is some stuff I don't want to see. Underaged content is on that list. I would safely assume that is on the list for many people.
The point of this thread is to warn other "normies" that the people running that instance are cool with this sort of thing, and ask if there is an alternative yet. lemmynsfw can and will do whatever they want. I'm fine with that, its not the point here. The point is warning others and asking for an alternative.
I completely agree with your points. I alongside many others appreciate the heads up; for some reason `!lemmynsfw doesn't show up on my local feed over there so I never would've seen the post if it weren't for this thread.
I mean the person that made the original post has responded to that post saying "im not a pedo 🫤🤷♂️ I thought loli meant for teen people like 18-25."
Which to me does not track at all with what was said the first post, where they acknowledge that it's drawings that appears to be of people underage. how do you talk about underage then say " I thought they meant 18 year old" does not really strike me as an "oopsi, I did not know"
I don't know how people can be arguing against a post that is literally titled
Oh yikes, I didn't even see that comment. The fact that user is making this "clarification", and not the admin themselves concerns me. It reads like they're just piggybacking off the user poster who decided to do their own interpretation. Like others have stated before, there really needs to be a hard line drawn otherwise that instance is going to see a lot of people leaving.
My biggest concern coming from this is that the admins over there seem really, really out of their depth.
Again, they can and will do whatever they want to do, but in my personal opinion a large general NSFW instance needs to have people who know what they are doing at the helm or its going to be a disaster. I just hope no regular user gets caught up if/when shit hits the fan
What a mess! I can't tell if it's backtracking because of backlash or actual clarification.
The fact the post was made by a user and not the actual admin certainly contributes to this mess.
These are contradictory statements. that's literally what the words loli/shota mean.
No expert on straight porn, but that would probably include lots of Asian adult porn actors.
loli/shota haters are gonna lose their shit when they find out about oppai loli. if loli referred to minors, such a thing simply couldn't exist lol.
the reality is that loli/shota have nothing to do with age.
yup. people hating on this clearly ave no idea what they're talking about. like there's a clear distinction between actual anime children and loli content. and there's plenty of people who like the latter and not the former. it's not hard to understand.
Lolicon does depict minor characters engaged in sexual acts. Whether that is exclusively or not doesn’t really matter. Although it doesn’t surprise me to see you here defending it. You have trash fucking takes on every topic you engage in.
the cool thing about the fediverse and open platforms is that we are free to agree to disagree. the second you start defederating, silencing, or banning people over disagreements, is the second you start building an echochamber and leading to situations like what reddit or twitter have. If you don't like the stuff I comment or share, then you're free to block me.
But why does your dislike of what I wish to discuss/say/share mean that I shouldn't be allowed to do so and discuss with others who do wish to speak to me?
i mean at that rate loli/shota mean nothing
being on guard for pedophiles is good, but the obsessive policing of how petite women are allowed to be while still being 'okay' to sexualize has gotten extremely silly, both when it comes to art and when it comes to actual women sexualising themselves
loli/shota have a very clear meaning, and it's not "underage".
