Ooh, I how echo that sentiment! Tbh the “pedos aren’t automatically evil” thing has become a litmus test of open-mindedness/friendship material for me. If somebody passes that test they instantly gain my respect, because the type of person that can think beyond their own reactive disgust to a topic and end up defending the most hated people in our society simply because it’s the right thing to do, is the type of person I want in my life lol.

I’m curious though, how did you accidentally become passionate about this topic? (You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.)

I searched for loli/shota communities on lemmynsfw.com to see if they existed there, because didn’t specify if they allow that type of content, and I was curious if they did. I noticed the only two communities that popped up in the search both led here. I clicked apprehensively, because the type of places that allow loli/shota can be a real mixed bag lol.

I was very pleasantly surprised to immediately see the pinned post “Welcome to Burggit! We’re not what you think we are!”. Good sign! Then I saw y’all are explicitly trying not to be like Voat or Kiwifarms, and that’s an even better sign!

I don’t even like lolisho content. It’s just an important ethical issue to me that fictional content that hurts no one should not be treated the same as actual CSAM. And that people who like said content shouldn’t immediately be assumed to be pedophiles. And that pedophiles not be immediately assumed to be abusers/molesters/evil monsters. It’s an issue I’ve accidentally become passionate about. I’m likely to meet people with this same mindset here. So I joined!

Burggit also got a genuine chuckle out of me when I read the DMCA policy on the sidebar. The bluntness is hilarious.

I have to admit I hate the logo for this instance tho lmao
