Here. I made a morality tread.

Have at it.

lolRoman.

Won't be posting here much though.

Probably should've put this in the General Off-Topic board instead.

Probably.

After all my posts on the Hentai thread, I can safely say that I have no morals.

As the "Morals" thread has been created after being split from another thread, the title of this thread has been altered, which reflects the topic of the preceding post, & accordingly this thread has also been moved to this subforum.

Yes, it is.

Our hentai guru has made a definitive statement on that.

Well it's not real so unless it negatively effect others no it's not.

But then again i'm not the type of person that takes a moral high ground on anything,

The only thing I consider immoral about Hentai is the whole Rape "fetish" and how it's applied with other characters.

But then again...I will look at whatever new Black Dog doujin is out at the time...

If hentai is immoral then violent video games should also be.

Does it really have to be asked? It’s pretty obvious, anime is supposed to be for children but how can they watched it when people, who seems no care, used it in pornography. Showing such images is definitely not in ethics.

like GTA



not all anmie is for kids.. most hentai i likve is Haruka/Michiru or Zoisite/Kunzite.. cuz you know they are in That kind of relationship

Some of it are even illegal in some jurisdictions, too, such as the depictions of visually under-aged characters.

Morality is based on perception.

Essentially, if you find it immoral, then it is to you.

The consequence of your perception is irrelevant to what you see reality to be.

So hentai is essential for the survival of our species!

Immoral? To look at a drawing or animation? To look at a picture of someone who never existed that resembles something that may or may not be something between questionable to illegal if it was of real people? To look at paper and ink or a image created on a computer?

Only a fool would think so.

Nobody was ever hurt by hentai, save maybe for a paper cut or being hit with a manga by some crazy person. Nobody ever will be hurt in the creation of hentai. If they are, the problem isn't really the hentai.

But some law makers do think otherwise - to them, even the mere downloading of certain manual or digital hentai depictions for private viewing, even if you've deleted them afterward, is a criminal offense, hence automatically placing/recording you in the category of sex criminals if convicted. And I'm even only talking about some Common Law jurisdictions in the West.

Ohh, I'm well aware, and I see them as fools, who infuriate me by imposing their ignorance on me.

While most downloading of those hentai artworks in question go undetected, it can still be detected if you're downloading from a site closed down by its local law enforcement, which may notify your local law enforcement that you've downloaded illegal materials from that site.

absolutely!

There are some depictions of hentai that we should probably consider immoral, however those decipitions (ex, lolicon) have decent followers who will not perpretrate sexual fantasties with real children and those who will. I seem to recall reading a bit about a Japanese man who killed several children partly because he viewed lolicon.

Nevertheless, hentai does not show actual children being exploited (if there is then it should be eliminated immediately). The thing you have to realize with western nations taking aggresive stances on hentai is that society has gotten very tough on sexual offenders and anything with any similarity to child sexual exploitation. It's the same thing with American teenagers being put on sex offender registeries for "sexting" and being classified with predatory rapists, child sex tourists and the like.

One more thing, hentai doesn't convince actual child pornographers to exploit mass amounts of children.

No. Just, no. Maybe that was the tone of the article you read, but nobody kills anyone because of a comic. They might read a comic and then go on to commit horrible acts. They might even blame their horrible acts on a comic or other things, but anyone who murders someone outside of, say, self defense or the defense of another, is responsible for their own actions.

Such a situation should be blamed on the law makers & those who drafted the laws - they didn't think about the matter thoroughly & just did a (lazy) knee-jerk reaction.

Yes, it's very immoral. If you watch it, hair will grow out of your palms and your eyes will fall out. Then your brain is going to melt and sip through your empty eye cavities.






So let's watch it even more.

There are tons of fools in the world unfortunately.

I mentioned this in another thread:


Note, however, that countries have differing laws on the matter, and what may be an effective legal dodge for certain people in one country may equal jail time in another.

^ W/ the advancement of brain scanning technologies nowadays, which've already been able to crudely reconstruct the visual images emerged inside the brain, I wonder if there'll be new laws dealing w/ such images in due course, say, if anyone creates a mental image of a nude person, who looks under-aged, inside their brain, they'll immediately become a sex offender.

My question is: which set of morals and ethics would you like me to apply in answering your question? If it is my own set of morals and ethics that I must apply, I say "hentai's morality entirely depends on the content of the work in question". If I am to apply the moral and ethical code of an ultra-rightist Christian fundamentalist with extraordinarily strong authoritarian tendencies, then I say "hentai is absolutely immoral". If I apply the most strictly Libertarian position possible, I say "never is hentai immoral unless someone is harmed by its distribution".

Pick your favorite. ^__^

I look at it this way:

It's immoral, but not immoral. The concept is immoral, but since it's not real, it's not immoral. Kinda like how killing is wrong and immoral, but that doesn't stop us from blowing people to bits in video games.

I also think it depends on the views of the individual in general. Since there's a wide variety of themes here, one might think it's immoral in general, where as another might only think certain parts are immoral.

Sounds reasonable on both counts.
