Comment on France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls

• eager_eagle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  “that look like children” is not enforceable. Are you requiring a minimum height? A minimum number of ageing features? A certain breast size? What about cartoon/anime stylized products?

  But the core issue is that this literally won’t solve anything and it’s a waste of time and public money.

    Many people would fuck Ariana Grande and she looks younger then she should.

    If you read the title of the article, it would seem this is absolutely affordable.

    Also, of course Lemmy is arguing in favour of child sex dolls, I’d expect nothing less.

      Ofc you frame it that way. Most people on here are just against banning things where there’s A, no victims and B, no real way to determine age. You’d have to ban drawings the same way if the characters appear childlike. How is this enforceable. By the opinion of whoever is looking over something? The article specifically mentions weight and size but I don’t think thats sufficient in itself.

        In the US drawings of underage characters in sexual situations is illegal under the Protect act “Section 1466A of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct”

        Doesn’t France already ban depictions of characters that look like minors in sexual situations.

        With something like this, a judgement call would ultimately need to be made, yes. That’s how a lot of law enforcement works.

      lol they’re not arguing against because it’s a pointless measure

      you’re confusing picking your fights with being supportive

        If children sex dolls are readily available it risks normalizing the concept of sex with children. Both for potential pedophiles as well as children who browse shein, might get the impression that adults having sex with children is a thing.

        It absolutely has a point, the point being manufacturing and selling sex toys that look like children is absolutely disgusting.

        And picking your battles doesn’t typically mean arguing against the law being passed on the Internet.

    Anime stuff is crazy. What amounts to young girls with huge tits in a lot of cases. All kinds of products like bedding or pillows feature them, and of course there’s porn of it, and as far as I can tell it doesn’t get treated any different than a niche weird porn. Somehow these are fine, but sex dolls aren’t? I’m not advocating for one or the other, but it seems like if we call one “bad”, the other should be too.
