tl;dr of this post, sensitve topics still mentioned
i think a tl;dr of this post is:i'm sick and tired of people trying to punish thoughtcrimes, especially when it inevitably leads to them also thinking that lolicon = pedophilia = wants to rape kids.
especially when all they end up doing is burying the lede on what really causes real-world child abuse, which is systemic and institutional power imbalances.
but when people make broad sweeping statements, they end up throwing people who would otherwise be harmless, into communites full of people encouraging them to do harm (despite this, it doesn't excuse what they ultimately do in the end, but people pushing them there doesn't help.)
and something else i should add is that people who are all "ACAB" this and "jail systems are bad" that, end up just remaking those in the form of "oh but these people are eternally evil and will never get better", and make those broad sweeping statements about people who are not serial child abusers, which inevitably end up including us cute and funny artists.
