Wow, ikillchicken, congratulations on being so telepathic that you know for a fact that when Mr. sickVisionz wrote nobody "actually disagreed with or denied it as being an accurate description" that he specificially wasn't referring to his label of "child porn moe" in that statement. Care to explain how you KNOW that to be the case?

However, let's proceed with your assumption. Here's the part of his post you quoted (including, I note, his child porn label):

Quote:
"The show actually says that she's 5... and then proceeds with upskirts and blurred out genitalia. The college student who repeatedly fondles/strips the 5 year old isn't a super smart 5 year old who just looks old... she's actually an adult. cute kids + child nudity + sexual depiction of children + characters who make no qualms about being pedophiles and do the acts to back it up + cartoon = child porn moe... imo at least."


I don't recall the show ever saying that any character is 5 years old. If he is referring to Kana, the main character of the series, the wikipedia entry on Kanememo notes she is 13 years old. The show makes clear she is in middle school, so she couldn't be 5.

I don't recall the adult pedo female ever stripping any character. She was definitely an aggressive groper. There was an obligatory public bath scene were all the girls naughty bits were covered by steam - I guess that corresponds to his comment about blurred out genitalia. There was no child nudity. There was no "sexual depiction" of children. There was a female adult character who clearly had pedo tendencies, so I can say that part of his description is accurate.

I encourage anybody who is interested enough to check out Kanememo for themselves to see if it is "child porn." I can say all I want, Mr. sickVisionz can say all he wants, but in the end the proof is in the pudding.

Well, it's pretty heavilly implied by his wording. Saying he provided a 'description' would usually mean more than simply calling it child porn. But no, I don't know for a fact it's what he meant obviously. However, as you yourself recognized, with your interpretation his comments are most obviously untrue to the point of downright making no sense. Therefore, it is rational to assume he meant it the other way which does make sense. (Of course, then you miss a lovely opportunity to talk down to him and imply he's stupid for making no sense which is much easier than trying your best to accurately understand him and formulate a real response).

Anyway though, yeah. If you're correct and his description is so inaccurate then that is a pretty valid point. I think it's probably one you ought to have made initially instead of focusing on the specific term 'child-porn'.

What's up with everyone trying to play arm chair physiologist analyzing and twisting everyone posts just to come up with some BS that's supports their own opinion. I mean c'mon there's only so much crap you can pull out of a post that may/may not have much thought process behind them.

Anyway kanamemo is definitely not child pornography, or not just child pornography if you Haruka interactions with Saki are played for sexual arousal, quite frankly I thought is was just for humor but that's just me.

But for the people for label kanamemo as child pornography and aren't compelled to do something about.....well IMO that's kinda messed up. I don't care what point your trying to prove, child pornography is not a phrase you throw around lightly

If you're going to accuse me of twisting someone's words you had better explain in detail. How have I misrepresented his comment? You make it all sound so malicious. Sadly, language can be ambiguous and sometimes it is unclear what a person is saying. When that happens some analysis of their comments may be necessary.

I'd argue that what's 'messed up' is trying to control what others can and cannot watch. As disgusting as it may be, so long it is just animated child porn it is not hurting anyone and therefore I tolerate it's right to exist. (I'm speaking generally here. Not about kanamemo.)

So.... who wants to drop the never-goes-anywhere porn debate and go back to arguing over "r" vs. "l" again? Wink

If the only intention of your post is to insult another user then don't bother posting.

A quick glance at Crunchyroll's actual library shows...nothing in particular. They seem to get whatever random stuff they can get their hands on.


When you look at their overall library, I suppose. When you look at the shows that they highlight or make a blog post specifically to highlight and draw you attention to... those are usually normal moe, child porn moe, or some show with super huge breasted women that's more along the lines of fan service with a story attached than a story that happens to have fan service.


That's because CR primarily sticks with blog postings on new simulcasts rather than old series they have licensed, Wink and moe is the current standard of the industry. heh...
