The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.
[Polish penal code] Article 202 § 4b penalizes the production, dissemination, presentation, storage or possession of pornographic content depicting the created or processed image of a minor under the age of 18 participating in a sexual activity.
I can’t say I know too much about it, but I was pretty sure shota was almost entirely dependent on one of the characters being in grade school or early middle school?
“Loli” can be ambiguous, but I think here it’s pretty clear it’s meant to refer to drawn characters with bodies typical of around the age of 10-13.
I don’t quite know where doujinshi of characters like Betty from Re:Zero would fall, since she’s established as quite old but also childlike in appearance and behavior.

nope. loli/shota don’t refer to age.

incorrect, some loli characters can have physically mature adult bodies.
yes, some loli characters can appear childlike, these are banned from lemmynsfw. some loli characters can appear as adults or ambiguously adults, these are allowed on lemmynsfw.
You keep saying that Loli doesn’t refer to age but that word itself is derived from “Lolita” which is an “erotic” novel about a middle aged professor being obsessed with a 12-year old child and kidnapping and sexually abusing her. Although from the looks of it, loli content often circumvent child porn laws by using loopholes and giving bullshit explanations like it is just a 100-year old in a child-like body, the overall innuendo of such content seem to be nothing more than sexualising children. Things like that shouldn’t be given a platform here.
I think it’s usually not too much of a legal concern, but it’s also not uncommon for people to draw lewds of characters from shows that are canonically underage (see: Prisma Ilya, who is 10/11 in that spinoff series, although “18” in other Fate series). That would certainly be illegal.
But either way, it definitely creeps people out, and it’s usually best to avoid doing things that make people want to stay away from you like that.
But I’m only talking about what’s best for lemmynsfw and kbin. I don’t personally think loli/shota porn is particularly dangerous for children (and, if anything, potentially gives those people a non-harmful constructive outlet) but I also don’t get to choose which pearls most people decide to clutch.
The place where you live is less relevant than the place where kbin lives. The servers are bound by the law of the country where they exist. If something on kbin violates Iranian law, no big deal. If something on kbin violates Polish law, big deal. If it violates US law but not Polish law, that’s only a big deal if you as a user are US based.
It takes like 2 minutes to look up.
loli/shota do not refer to an age, and lemmynsfw has stated that they ban nsfw images of minors and those who appear underage.

etymology is not definition.
So if I draw some random character having sex, and then label them as “15 years old”, it’s now illegal? What kind of insane nonsense is that?
I don’t know any case law, but probably!

If that’s the case then the law is nonsense.
So that means I shouldn’t defend anyone doing something legal and without hurting anyone? No thanks
I mean it’s explicitly illegal in this case.

Maybe it’s illegal where you live. But that’s on you. Lots of things are stupidly illegal in lots of places. Do we ban those everywhere too?
