I've seen you post this all over this site in several threads so I figure I'll critique it, since I'm not allowed to read one page without seeing it every day. Despite my attempts to ignore it and be nice and not cause slapfights. Ok, let's do it then. Your highlighted obscenity federal law basically says it's illegal to give obscene material to minors. Just like it's illegal to sext minors or have sex with minors. And yet, all of the above happens over discord or chat rooms all over the internet world. Just like there are millions of kids in discord channels right now looking at porn or being sent porn that someone sent them in their discord group. Just like it's illegal to pirate music, movies, video games, software, or paid streaming content. It doesn't change the fact that is still happens every day and millions of people are watching live sports events on streameast and downloading mp3's and full movies. If you are doing any of the above and the government wants to go after you, they will prosecute you and make an example out of you. That is not to excuse any of the above but there is a difference between having a law on the books and one that is actively enforced. So the obscenity laws could possibly be applied to loli but the burden of proof is usually going to be too high to actually do anything to someone with loli, unless it's motivated and they want to go after someone.
Now, let's get back to this law. The whole thing is based on the concept of "obscenity" which is poorly-defined. What does this mean? Who knows? One of the worst argued and lamest explanations of obscenity in US law was from the Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, who famously said, "I know it when I see it," regarding obscenity. He made this statement in his opinion in the 1964 case of Jacobellis v. Ohio, which dealt with the definition of obscenity. While he couldn't provide a precise definition, he believed he could recognize it when he encountered it. This basically means, "I have no definition and can't explain obscenity." Or "something that would make Justice Stewart feel icky." Or even "something that would arouse Justice Stewart." The problem here is that obscenity is subjective. What you find offensive and gross is another man's fetish. For example, the entire porn industry could be considered obscene. It's real people being filmed having sex on camera. And yet, they are allowed to operate out in the open with porn studios and it's all over the internet with almost 0 regulation. Only recently have some US states put in laws that require age verification to visit a site like Pornhub and that is easily bypassed by any kid that knows how to use a VPN. And yet most normie kids are tech-savvy, grew up with phones and tablets in their hands, and can fire up a VPN. Hell, all the Youtubers that kids watch shill these VPN's nowadays, so everyone knows what they are and there are free VPN's readily available.
What if aliens came to Earth and they don't have any sexual attraction to any creature on planet Earth including the humans? What is "obscene" to the aliens? Would they recognize this as a valid concept or even be able to relate or understand it? Would they care if Justice Stewart got hard by some porn he watched and then called it "obscene?" What if Justice Stewart saw 2 gay men kissing and said it was gross and obscene? Would they recognize his feeling of disgust and feeling icky as obscene? Would they care if Stewart said it was obscene? Obscenity is not only poorly-defined but subjective and shifting according to culture or time. For instance, a woman dressed like a skank walking around Europe or even in bikini on the beach is accepted or tolerated by western cultural standards. But in the Middle East, a woman puts on her burqa and dressing like a slut might even get her killed by stoning. It's obscene to them but not to us. Is it obscene to walk around showing off your body with revealing clothing? Kind of? It sort of depends on if you find the person attractive. You might like it or you might find it repulsive if the woman is fat and ugly. Is it obscene to wear a bikini at the beach? Kind of. Or it's kind of culturally-appropriate to wear a bikini at the ocean or to get in the water. So is it obscene or not obscene to wear a bikini at the beach? It's subjective.
Another example of obscenity. 50 years ago, almost everyone considered inter-racial relationships and inter-racial marriage to be obscene. Now it is celebrated by leftist progressives and even centrist people as wholesome and based. What was obscene 50 years ago is now normalized and commonplace. The law said you can't do that and now the law says you can, in fact, have sexual intercourse with someone of another race or get married to them. So what is it about the idea of obscenity that changed over time? Having a relationship with a person or another race 50 years is the same thing as doing it now. What about tv shows and movies? Do you know how much garbage is on tv? All horrors movies could be considered obscene. Reality tv shows. South Park. Family Guy. I think it's obscene to me when I go to the store and see fat people walking around and jiggling and riding mobility scooters 'cause they're so fat. It's gross and disgusting but no one is going to write me a federal law saying it's illegal to be fat or to be ugly. It's obscene when ugly fat white women are walking around Walmart with black dudes and in a relationship. But these 2 people are adults consenting to this and want this and there is no law stopping them. Or I find it obscene for people to be walking around in pajamas in the store like they just rolled out of bed in their sleepwear and are forcing me to look a them in pj's, especially men. Or people walking around in revealing clothing when they're fat and ugly. I find it obscene when people are riding around playing loud, vulgar rap music and forcing me to listen to that garbage with gross sexualized lyrics and cursing every breath and the loud pounding bass. I am also offended when people drive down my road in trucks and motorcycles, trying to break the sound barrier by being as loud as humanly possible and it hurts my ears. But no one is writing me a law saying it's illegal to modify your car to be even louder or to fly down the road at max speed. Or to ban motorcycles bc some hick narcissist wants to interrupt everyone on the street and force you to look at him making so much noise riding down the road.
So basically what I'm saying is I don't think that snippet of law means what you THINK it means. Don't distribute porn to minors. Yes. We know. The concept of obscenity is not a valid legal concept. The term is too nebulous and the burden of proof would be too high to meet in most cases thanks to the 1st amendment. If you're gonna invoke legal law to back up your arguments, you might wanna pick something on more stable ground that isn't subjective. I hope you enjoyed my arguments on obscenity. I rest my case.
>Touhou=loli=pedophile.
Have you ever played a Touhou game? I would recommend you download one for free from Moriya Shrine. They have all of the games translated and playable for free. It's clear you are fairly ignorant on the subject so maybe broaden your horizons, step out of your comfort zone, and try understand another's perspective. They are bullet-hell shooter games that feature girl characters. They are actually not sexualized at all. And the games have nice music and cool gameplay. Now, where this becomes a problem is people turning everything into rule34. People are going to make porn of anything. Hell, there are people that make porn of Homer Simpson or Family Guy even though these are not even sexualized. Some people are going to jerk it to Homer but that does make Homer pornographic or even inherently-sexualized. There are people that like feet but that doesn't make feet inherently-sexualized. Should we ban feet pics cause some people are jerking it to feet? I would hope not.
