>Legality is always a factor when considering what we allow
I didn't say otherwise if you read the quote, but there is an important difference between banning something because we don't want it and we can't have it
>I do believe that many (though not all) of the 3D loli posts made here are likely breaking US law
They can't be too illegal if we haven't got a single warning from registrar or server host about Heyuri over the years. My stance would be different if I've got any single warning about it, but that's not currently the case - so I also doubt we would see a sudden termination over this
>posts sexualizing 3D little girls in a non-humorous fashion across the site - primarily on Off-Topic and 3D Girls
People don't have to be humorous while posting about their fetishes, especially on boards like 3D Girls where sharing of media is the most important aspect
>I'm talking about Heyuri's own users
That's your assumption... I don't get the feeling anyone on Heyuri, lolikon or not is seriously concerned over the presence of lolikon users. They are also the ones to know Heyuri's variety the best.
>having those kinds of posts prominently featured on Heyuri does make it seem as if 3D pedophilia is an intrinsic component of the culture and userbase here
They aren't "featured" in any official way, but if users want to post rori pics, why not just let them? We just need to maintain the environment to allow this to be the case for all kinds of fetishes.
>Historically, 3D pedo material was only seen once every couple of months on Heyuri at most
So it was always allowed! I remember a long discussion about loli poop YT channel few years ago as well. I also don't feel a big difference between then and now regarding their frequencies. Among the last 100 threads on Off-Topic, there are just two 3D lolikon threads: Candydoll and cum tributes. They were allowed any time in the past, also posted by 3D lolikon, so I don't see what is different now.
>Heyuri will primarily appeal to retards like faganon
If new users break Rule 8, they can be B& regardless of their fetishes.
If we get too many new users who are into any specific fetish, we can work on communicating with them to somehow contain them so boards wouldn't be dominated by that a single topic/fetish
>3D lolicons attempting to shun them
You can ban anyone who shuns others for not having their fetishes, as was always the case
>It's not like with 2D loli, scat, guro, etc., where many may find it disgusting, but it's ultimately fair game
I don't see much difference besides teh legality. I fap seriously and furiously to 2D, others with different preferences can fap in the same manner to 3D counterparts. I would if I found them attractive
>Futaba/old-4chan inspired
WT Snacks was lax about 3D loli, and Futaba had a dedicated 3D loli board in the past where users shared CP
Heyuri is its own thing though, my opinion wouldn't be different even if these sites had different policies.
>Heyuri into a pedo-exclusive community
Noone says or aims for that. I think most users would want a rorikon(or anything else)-inclusive community where their fellow other users aren't shunned for their fetishes (which lately is the case with several cases of newbies condemning older users for "actually" being lolikon...)
>baleeting posts with sexualized and/or skimpily-clothed 3D lolis like we used to
We never had a policy about baleeting any and all sexualized 3D loli...
Again, legal part aside, I still don't want to delete them for just being a specific kind of fetish. I'd defend any other fetish group the same way (maybe except for furries). As I told earlier, if your proposal is just about the sharing of images, I don't mind if just the files are deleted earlier than their expiration, preferably with a prior warning.
