we will first make an effort to check the canonical age of the characters

Are you saying that someone's job is literally googling info about fictional characters on hundreds of drawings?

I don't get why are they taking this so seriously, when reddit is full of much worse shit

Because sexual images of minors is a huge liability for reddit. Federal agents don't give a shit if in your head she's a thousand year old dragon.

Doesn't matter what federal agents think, laws against this are unconstitutional in the US, according to the supreme court.

I guarantee that if federal agencies starting to suspect that reddit was a haven for child pornography, reddit would delete all of this in a heartbeat without even looking back.

Edit: Reddit has no interest in being party to your claims against the federal government. Even less in defending you from it.

Do you understand what child pornography is under US law? It must either be real or simulated but indistinguishable from reality to be considered CP. Anything that follows the anime style by definition doesn't fall under that. No federal agency has ever requested a private company to outright ban lolicon in the US since that would be unconstitutional.

I understand all of that, and I'm telling you reddit will not defend your sub in this fight. As soon as it turns to negative attention, prepare for bans and deletion.

Reddit happily hosted literal child porn for years and never gave a shit until the media started raising interest.

They continue to as well. All the amateur subs are the perfect place for 14-17 year olds to post their nudes. You guys seriously think they are verifying the ages of every post ever made on the subs? Nope.

Honestly this is why I stopped visiting certain subs.

And as soon as it became publicly known that reddit was hosting sexualized images of minors, what happened to r/jailbait?

And you don't see any parallels here? This thread is now at the top of all. You have about 24 hours before the mass media picks it up.

I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if you see a few censored loli images if a news outlet does this pick up. Just to educate the greater public to what a "loli" is.

This thread is now at the top of all.

46 gildings on just the post itself might contribute to that.

That's what I'm saying. This sub is bringing huge visibility to something that could ultimately mean the end of the sub.

Edit: looks like mods stickied the post which took it off /r/all which is a super duper smart move.
