I'm confused by this thread. I feel like I'm reading a "concerned christian neighborhood moms" messageboard or something, like the kind of hilarity you'd get by intentionally saying forgeted up stuff on 4chan and having CNN do an article on it. Its "funny" because they take it seriously. And it's weird that you can find much more vulgar content out there without even trying, and some guy's admittance to liking shota research is what trips the system. I mean this is internet 101-- you have to be able to not piss your pants in rage when you see this crap. I don't mean to sound high and mighty saying that either, its just the impression I got.
Ok. So child research and shota is bad, I can accept that. I agree that liking/quietly ignoring it shouldn't be allowed either for the reasons already posted. I'm not saying I don't support the ideas in the thread or disagree with what was said in the chat, so don't get me wrong here.
What I'm really wondering is why this particular instance made everyone so upset, and why it warranted a drama of all things. It looks like the guy is getting his stuff kicked in in the chat, so the way I see this thread is a "look at how right we are guys xd" thread. There's literally dozens of chat lines of people screaming at him that he's wrong and the things he say aren't particularly vulgar/challenging/etc. which only supports the circlejerk narrative.
Maybe I've just been brainwashed by modern politics or something. I feel like if a guy came on my server and admitted he liked shota, I wouldn't really care and I'd just ignore him. Now that's against the whole "we shouldn't ignore these people" idea I said I agreed with, but the reason I ignore him is because there's nothing short of confronting him IRL that would actually do something about it-- it's the internet. I wouldn't argue with him in chat or post a drama, because all that will do is make me look like an idiot who can't handle LE GROSS INTERNET XD. So what does this accomplish?? I'm genuinely curious because it just sounds like a big "heheh we're so cool for pointing out this fukkin child predator.. right guys??" thread. And it seems him being Hotremox has something to do with it because I don't see the same thread being posted when Blockhead251657 admits the same thing.
