It was one of the staff members who let everyone know about the closing of Sad Panda actually. The admin didn't bother to say anything until after the fact.

And some of them are involved in the current efforts to rescue the galleries.

Like I said, it's a lot of work, and the site staff didn't have to invest nearly as much time or money as the admin, so they probably had other things in their lives that would get in the way of running a website. Again, this kind if thing requires dedication. It's not some little hobby like birdwatching or building lego sets, you gotta devote a part of your life to doing it and it's gonna start to feel like a chore eventually. And given how thankless this kind of job often is, it often doesn't feel worth it.

Have you met some hardcore Lego collectors?

It's not a hobby. It's a lifestyle.

Rest In Peace Sad Panda, I never used you but I mourn the loss of such an extensive archive.

Such is the power of love!

45.9TB is much much less than I though, still very impressive nonetheless lol.
May the power of loli yuri and onee-loli prevail again.

I don't think I could possibly put into words the envy I feel for that person's internet.

Imagine having nearly fifty terabytes of porn you can call up at any moment...

Imagine if the 45 tb is just the loli stuff...

just protect the loli Incest

Sadly, that was a troll.

/g/ doesn't have a backup.

What a shame in monotone

Sad Panda is new to me so I can't really say I will miss it, but fuck anyone who wishes to censor people. This new law in the Netherlands is specifically going after cartoon porn? How pointless and silly. How can drawings hurt people?

it's pathetic really. Never mind combating real life child trafficking which is a huge global issue. Nah we gotta protect the 2D children instead! We can't lock up all these pedo billionaires!

Y'all didn't actually read the discussion in this thread did you. Also gg on completely asspulled presumptions of mutual exclusivity in law enforcement, because that's how the police work amirite?

Why is it that people defending 2D pedo shit always make the argument that the government should worry about real child abuse instead?
This is not an either/or situation. They have to take care of both. Nobody lets real child molesters get away with it to shut down loli porn. It doesn't take an abundance of ressources to sent a website a cease & desist.

Whether you believe that loli porn has a negative effect or not, it's blatantly obvious that a society cannot tolerate any kind of child porn. It doesn't even matter if it endangers anyone. It's a matter of principle.

I think the most self-entitled thing is to critisize the authorities for doing their job in the name of what 99% of society would find illegal.

PS: SadPanda wasnt even shut down because of loli porn as was now made clear.

well, drawings and comics can be used to normalise sexual situations for children as a means of grooming them for abuse.

so there's at least some kind of a conversation to be had

That's like, your opinion. Lucky for you most people share that opinion. What you're not realizing is that letting people in power decide what is or isn't legal based only on their opinions is a terrible idea. You're so vocal about closing sadpanda being a good thing, yet miss the fact that people exactly like them, for example, make gay content illegal.

After all it's blatantly obvious that a society cannot tolerate any kind of gay things. It doesn't even matter if it endangers anyone. It's a matter of principle. I think the most self-entitled thing is to critisize the authorities for doing their job in the name of what 99% of society would find disgusting.

But yea, preach while you can, I really hope next thing that gets censored is something you love.

Who ? Beside Middle East countries, i don't see any others countries doing that. And there a lot of differences between making gay content illegal and make pedopornography illegal. The first one is stupid when the second is debatable.

But yea, preach while you can, I really hope next thing that gets censored is something you love.

You should take a bowl of fresh air. You sound way too salty to be objective.

I wouldn't have said that 99% of society is against it if I wasn't sure that this is the majority opinion. There are things I dislike that I wouldn't even voice any dissent about. After all it matters little most of the time.

You mistake the fact that the government declared it illegal for them being the only ones with an interest in that. If you made a poll in any civilized country about whether child pornography (even 2D) should be illegal, guess what the results would turn out? This is not abuse of power by the government, this is just the common perception of the entire genre. Democracy means the majority makes the decisions.

It is up to society to grow and realize what is and isn't bad. Gay marriage was made legal and homosexual relationships are seen as something normal over time. That (and because the fetishes arent really controverisal) is why gay porn won't just disappear or be made illegal. Even worse, the highest rates of child abuse and sexual violations are from backwards countries who also hate gays. It's almost like they get switched out lol
Your argument simply holds no water.

Anyone who declares their love for lolicon porn will find nobody praising them for their bravery. I have no such extreme fetish or interest in the first place, but if for some reason something fairly standard gets made illegal, believe me, I could live with it. The more standardized the fetish the more resistance you will encounter against such things however, so I feel pretty confident that I'm in the clear.

You guys are out of touch with reality. Steven Universe, Legend of Korra. I'll just leave it at that.
