mal should have stricter rules for profile pictures/customization

sexualize fictional characters are part of anime culture heck japan culture for a long time now though

inb4 "its fiction and not real children"

Mal already has a non nsfw pfp rule. That applies to fully grown anime women or lolis.

@deg isn't japan known to have problems with pedophilia and lolicon theme tho

"Ban underaged girl pictures that is involved in any kind of nudity/sexualization"

...it's ... already banned ... always has been I think. If you consider any loli character image as "sexualization of underage girls" then I don't care much for your argument.

@Wolfyrinn yes according to western standards heck the west pressured the united nations to make japan ban lolicons and shotacon but japan does not care and it reflects on their crime rate like low pedo crimes

isn't that already against the rules though?

@DreamingBeats you can by pass it with having minor character in underwear,bikini,skirts showing underwear and that type of stuff do you think it should be allowed?

@Captain-577 having little girl characters is not sexualization by itself it becomes that type of thing when they shown minors in underwear and sexual topics

@deg japanese need some regulations because they can't do that themselves

@rohan121 but stuff like showing skirts,underwear,bikini and that type of stuff is allowed while it's on minor characters?

@deg japanese need some regulations because they can't do that themselves

Funny how you make this take then your pfp is from a manga made by an actual pedoph*le. I call bait on it.

@Wolfyrinn
???? Underage girls wear bikinis in real life too.

Why don’t you just ignore them and do your thing? They’re not really harming anyone. I know some of it might be inappropriate, but if it actually crosses the line, just report it, the mods will decide if it’s ban-worthy or not.

I don’t get why some people have this constant urge to act like the good guy. Just let everyone enjoy what they like, besides those characters are fictional, they’re not even real.

@Wolfyrinn then I ask Japanese to regulate what wrong in your country since you aren't doing it yourself. Its basically what you are saying but only for them while not even looking at your country. People like you are a joke because you don't even notice your own hypocrisy.

@IkemenSenpai someone have to be the *good guy* so certain things don't go out of control

@Atromentina oh you're right. i remember reading news about the author of Samurai X getting arrested for having cp of actual real children.

edit:

skip to 2:21

Rurouni Kenshin pfp is funny for real 😂

@DreamingBeats samurai x author being cp is irrevelent to the anime production because anime was made by a company and a lot of peoples worked on it so unless all of them are evil it have nothing to do with the anime...also considering rurouni is that popular and sold 72 million copies there will be a lot of peoples who love that anime and many of them who don't even know anything about its author so

@Otakupervert890 western countries don't have problems involving anime as anime get regulations and censorship in the west when it get's released so

@Wolfyrinn so pfp are a thing that go out of control? What are the risks if it actually go out of control? What danger they represent worth the investment?

@Wolfyrinn so you think it's fine to have as your profile pic the work of an author charged and convicted of having cp of real children.
personally i'd find it disturbing, but you do you.

@Otakupervert890 think outside the box what would happen to the pfp that is allowed here if you would post somewhere else ? :) like twitter for example :)

peoples are fine with loli fanservice and all the freedom they love to have but at the same time discontent with rurouni kenshin anime pfp because it's author was pedophile lets also forget the fact rurouni kenshin sold 72 million copies and was known to be very good classic work that introduced peoples to the anime and made influence to the anime genre itself also it's not like rurouni anime was created by 1 person and author himself entire teams and companies worked on it if you denounce entire production and countless people hard work on it just because it's creator did something bad years later doesn't make much sense does it?

@Lucifrost you don't have dudes posting underage girls in bikinis as their profile pictures in public websites do you? they get banned for that in any western website

Shit like skirts, underwear, and bikinis are just clothing. Clothing itself isn't inherently sexual. It's the context and the intent behind how it's portrayed that matters. If platforms like MAL started banning characters just for wearing common items of clothing because someone might view them as sexual, you'd end up with a ban on almost everything. People can sexualize any shit, even something as mundane as shoes. The problem isn’t the clothing, if one views the things you listed as sexual content that is more of how that individual User view those things more than anything else.

More to the point when it comes to fictional characters, underaged is subjective. Unless someone is posting actual real life people, MAL doesn't restrict fictional depictions of characters unless they are graphically nude or some shit like that.

MAL allows users to use avatars of fictional characters, including those who commonly appear underage, as long as the image isn’t overtly sexualized or breaking their content guidelines. Where this type of thing would be subjective in itself, judged by the moderators I would guess.

MAL already has rules against those type of images. Either people aren't reporting those pages or MAL mods are slow to act on them.
