Related to the OP, i am getting obsessed with the DM website. I now check it everyday...so many interesting and weird stories.

I go there a lot because I like seeing the hate-filled bile in every single article.

I also LOVE getting the most red down arrows in my comments (most don't get through).

In fact, I've had quite a few removed because of complaints (they email you). ^_^

How is dress up like a (normal) doll turning girls into sex icons?
If this is turning girls into sex icons then todays "popstars" are turning them into crack den hookers

I think that DM is full of cloest pedo's in my opinon. They spend all day thinking about the sexualisation of children that they can look at a teapot and think out the sexualisation of children. I think it was more the case of someone looking the photos of Dekota Rose and getting caught out:

"Errrrr. I'm doing a report"
"Ok, i want it on my desk by the end of the hour"
"Damn!"

Shock as girls attempt to emulate their dolls? seriously?

Edit: I have to ask.... Mags? If you are so vehemently against things like this, why do you link such things on a large (and largely male) forum? It just makes no sense to me, have you not thought about the chances of your links actually getting folk interested in jailbait, sexualisation of children etc? And, dude, maybe you should stop looking for it? I'm worried you are actually in the closet about it all, and actually enjoy it yourself while also telling yourself you really don't. (kinda like the above posters opinion on the DM itself)

DONT CARE. STILL FAPPED.

Edit - I think this can be applied to every thread that has ever been in GD, ever.

woul...

wait what?

Top Cat · 30 Mar 2012 at 07:20

When I knew nothing about it I used to assume that Anime was some sophisticated, high-brow art form, but then I watched some. :cool:

Are you suggesting that I'm wrong or in the minority or that this is an unreasonable stance to have?

why do you link such things on a large (and largely male) forum? It just makes no sense to me, have you not thought about the chances of your links actually getting folk interested in jailbait, sexualisation of children etc?

By 'link such things' you mean this thread and the thread I made on Reddit's childbait and childporn pages? Two threads.

And, dude, maybe you should stop looking for it?

Don't call me dude and I'm not looking for it. This was a story at the top of one of the most popular websites in the UK.

I'm worried you are actually in the closet about it all, and actually enjoy it yourself while also telling yourself you really don't. (kinda like the above posters opinion on the DM itself)

I'd worry about other things if I were you, things with more substance and based more in reality. But thanks for the jailbait label, I guess?

NO DAD, IT IS NOT JUST CARTOONS!!!

No, that is not what I was suggesting... The 'if' was question though.

Not only your links to reddit and DM, you also mention jailbait, reddit, and anime in your sigs. Every day, to everyone. Dude (or whatever friendly version of that you wish to be called (please do tell me, will big yin do?) , there are 13 year old kids on here who google such things they have never heard of before you know? Or you could make it easy for them and supply links ofc...

Top Cat · 30 Mar 2012 at 07:44

That's right, criticizing child porn encourages people to find it. :cool:

Threepwood · 30 Mar 2012 at 07:51

Yeah, I see what you did there Top Cat!

But seriously, this is a family friendly forum right? With young teens as members etc, criticizing child pornography, the sexualisation of children, anime etc has its place... but... /shudder, you've heard that phrase 'All publicity is good publicity' right?

Might have to point that out in the next DD thread actually :S

I've had to quit reading DM at work as my rants are becoming an issue.

In my opinion DM is bang out of order and should be held to account on quite a few of it's articles!

I suspect they're not worried about the quality of their news in the same way that Fox News effectively doesn't have to present unfalsified reports according to the appeal judgement in the case brought by Jane Akre and her husband.

Reddit is one of the most popular sites on the internet, unfortunately. Google can provide information on a staggering number of things. The Daily Mail is, I think, the most popular website in the UK. There is nothing I'm referencing which is below the radar. Nothing.

The reddit childbait scandal made prime time TV in America and was the subject of many column inches in respectable newspapers; it was highlighted, vilified and attacked by some of the other bigger websites in the world. Again, nothing below the radar.

The Mods remove threads and posts which they deem not appropriate and whilst I've had this happen to me before (and most of them were justified), this has not happened for the two threads you are talking about. I suggest you raise your concerns with them and not me because I've no time for an apologist however principled he might wrongly think he is being.

Hey! You sound like a person who makes a defense in speech or writing of a belief, idea, etc. Shoe on the other foot much?

I'm not fussed about what the mods think about the posts, well not enough to start ranting and raving about it atm, I'm just asking you to think about what you link. Believe it or not, the very people you hate all start somewhere. Do you really want to be the reason that, hell, even one person got into such things? By following a link you provided?

I heard Anime was behind the pasty tax as well.

I'm confused as to why Magnolia is now being berated for his (very valid) opinion on the sexualisation of children???

A link I provided that was on national TV and the front pages of American newspapers? That was talking about a top 10 worldwide website? That was being attacked by TWO other top 10 worldwide websites and you think there is a personal onus on me to not post because if I do, it will be ... worse?

You don't have an argument.

He's a redditor or an apologist or an uploader or just misguided. Hopefully the latter.

Quite the opposit. You have me all wrong here, you're not actually listening to what I'm saying.

I'll give you an example. I've never been to reddit, I had hardily even heard of it untill your post about the jailbait section. And I'm in my 30's... I'm also not an innocent 13 year old ocuk user. Nor am I some creepy bloke yet to get into such creepy stuff, I've got kids ffs.

But what about the creepy blokes who went to reddit jailbait section for the first time after reading your post and actually quite liked it?

What about the creeps (potential or otherwise) who did not catch the DM article but will after reading this thread. The ones who 'got those wrists limbered up'.

Sure, criticize child porn etc, but for the love of your particular deity, why provide them with it. Thats just, kinda creepy too, dont you think? I seem to remember someone else saying it seems a little suspicious that you 'knew' too much about the subject in that thread... IDK you just seem a bit preoccupied with all this creepy stuff, why link it to the masses?
