Censorship, in terms of animated pornography is an issue for me. Lolicon and toddlercon, while I might find it... odd, it's a drawing, and I'd much rather have a drawing that harms no one rather than the actual thing, no?
However, physical domination as evident in many cultures around the world, like China's foot warping, genital mutilation in several cultures, stoning, and the acceptance of rape is not okay. Real > Digital. If you have a game like Postal, for example and you go around deleting digital lives, I'd much rather you have your butt at home instead of running around with a shotgun in reality, savvy?
Whaling, however, is a somewhat different issue. Whaling was also prevalent in much of Western culture once upon a time (hence the inspiration for the novel Moby Dick). I always believe in licensing to prevent over hunting or over fishing. Everything should be monitored and balanced to prevent over hunting. Siberian Tigers are a prime example. Chinese medicinal beliefs held that specific parts of the tiger would heal or aid the consumer. Tiger eyes, claws, testicles, brains, skin and other internal organs were coveted items on the market. Now we have about... what, 400 wild Siberian tigers in the the world?
What of the Black Rhino? Irrevocable damage to the land and ecosystem is then a sign that someone must place a kind of embargo on the animal until they can recover to an acceptable. Career fishermen know this and eagerly plot out their year to allow for fish to re-populate their numbers before fishing them again. You can't sell tuna if there is no tuna, no?
Too bad humanity is fighting a losing battle and the only way to win is to torch ourselves, effectively loosing our grip on the planet, but that's another dark conversation to have at another time.
Believe it or not, several states have their AOC at around 16. Hawaii's AOC is 16, with a close in age (5 years) exception. So a 15 year old could potentially bed a 20 year old. Interesting stuff, but it's much more widely accepted that 18 is the AOC as a rule. Besides, Japan is getting desperate. They're getting older and older and nobody is having kids over there. I'd gladly help, but I doubt they'd ask me for assistance ohohohoho! Wait... no, not the... never mind. It sounds dirty no matter how I look at it. Fufufu.
Ohohohoho! No matter! It is what it is. Hopefully I answered your questions. If you have anymore, fire away!
