Do you eat meat or condone people betting on horses? You know, actions that actually cause real suffering to real animals? Are you equally outraged abut that?
Do you want those things banned, to protect the animals you claim to care so much about?
Surely harm done to real victims is worse than harm done to fictional characters, right?
Oh my god they're trying to turn it into a vegan struggle session by comparing it to people betting on race horses
I would be shocked if he got arrested for 2d porn, even of the underage variety. But regardless, fans in the Vaush subreddit are already doing damage control along these lines, assuming/asserting that this is a joke or a bit. And there's no way it's a joke. If it is, he has an extremely malformed sense of humor and doesn't mind being the butt of the "joke."
From the comments in the video, it seems one of the pictures is some AI generated thing, where one of the persons looks like a minor.
There's a whole discussion on the legality of AI-generated child porn (and even of drawn child porn in general) that I'm not willing to learn much about, but AFAIK it's a bit of a "it's up in the air, the courts decide, depends on the country" situation.
Okay, so everything about this is bad. But him having a physical folder of these images just makes this weirder for me. I guess I cannot wrap my head around porn folders still being a thing.
I think V*ush might have that thing where he knows what he's doing is wrong and he kinda wants to get caught. It would explain why he talks about it so much.
We have this whole culture around consuming simulated CSA material and we aren't supposed to talk about it because 'its just a drawing bro'
I am genuinely repulsed by the prevalence of Loli in anime. Every anime show someone tries to get me into has a little girl character. Even if she's not overly sexualised it skeeves me out.
I am going to have to ask you not to conflate Anime with CSA and CSA material. While I my self do not watch Anime, I think it is ridiculous to think anyone here would get upset about you raising concerns about CSA if it where just a photo. However, from a thread here, there is compelling reason to see that Anime is not equivalent to CSA. For example Pokemon, is considered Anime, and from what I understand is a children's show.
Isn't it all fucking Loli shit? I never got it. I might be older than the average here but I think it's some weird shit that's been normalised for younger people. Yes, all Anime!
EDIT: Apparently there's no specific definition for what is and isn't anime. But I refer to the extremely common (and somhow acceptable) cutsey sexualised kids type of art style when I use the word.
The highest grossing and most watched anime in any given year are probably that year's release of Pokemon, Detective Conan or Ghibli movie so I think your perception is warped by the filter of Westoid anime fans who hyperfixate on the kind of anime that can only air after midnight on Japanese broadcast TV.
Vaush is creepy. I don't think he's a specific pedophile, just so porn-addled and coomerbrained that his filter for acceptable discourse has been ground down to nothing. Anyone who keeps a porn folder probably falls into the same category.
Basically, someone I wouldn't trust my kids around either way.
Someone found one of the images he had saved and it's
CW: real gross paedo beastiality shit
Hentai of a crying child being penetrated by a horse
Like this isn't just regular porn addict brain, it's "I understand there's no actual victim because it's a drawing and yet the artist should still face life in prison" shit.
I don’t think he’s a specific pedophile, just so porn-addled and coomerbrained that his filter for acceptable discourse has been ground down to nothing.
Now there's even more proof than even an admission. Several images in his CSAM/ASAM (is using ASAM to refer to animal sexual abuse materials a thing?) desktop folder were visible for some time during one of his streams.
