And, frankly, I'm concerned by how some guy from the U.S. can "make an observation" about a *completely different country*, and get paraded around as an authority, especially when their observation might have negative connotations attached to them.

Also, honestly, it's not a real term (particularly in the West). It means whatever the person speaking wants it to mean which is not a whole lot. I see it used as a slur against supposed "subhumans" (so being a jerk) or "Cool and feels taboo."

"lolicon" isn't a Japanese term. It was invented by a random American observing things going on in Japan. Then, the term was borrowed, presumably out of convenience. Indirect inspiration by Lolita (even that was a work of fiction) is given too much credit.

I'm also wary of inadvertently suggesting that ingesting data should be considered a violation of copyright. I want to avoid that.

The post is generally framed from the perspective of dealing with censorship, particularly heavy-handed censorship.

The characters in the new GFL seeming "aged up" (#FreeSpeech) might have more to do with how generic the new character designs seem to be than any deliberate effort. #anime

Erotic content doesn't magically "become bad" just because it's done in #VR and it still violates human rights to censor it. #FreeSpeech

"the resort to fiction and the imaginary must be understood and respected as a crucial element of the freedom indispensable for creative activities and artistic expressions"
"artists should be able to explore the darker side of humanity, and to represent crimes or what some may consider as “immorality”, without being accused of promoting these"

Okay, that finally worked.

Buggy boosts are honestly annoying as I might not want to post the same thing five times over weeks or months.

I saw an article a few months ago where they did it with a classic manga and it struck me how generic and homogenous the characters felt.

When I say "AI" (with quotes), I mean, artificial "intelligence".

A concern I'd have with "AI" is that the art styles would be awfully homogenous.
