This is the same media outlet that printed that Slenderman is the leader of "creepypasta.com" during that slenderman-related murder case.
If the subject matter is not on network tv (anime, internet fads, etc), then mainstream media is going to struggle with reporting on it.
What's wrong with people having sex with picture?
You're the new proclaimed apologist now?
Well one thing can lead to another. Even if porn can satisfy some stuff. Just can't imagine it will have an everlasting effect. Besides, by allowing this stuff it will seem people are ok with pedophilia :/
Me saying in 2014: Remember those arguments back in the good ol' days when playing a violent video game made you a psychotic bastard that will shoot everyone eventually? The argument never went anywhere and was proven illogical and stupid.
Me saying somewhere in 2020: Remember those arguments back the good ol' days when reading some Japanese manga and/or watching some loli anime branded you a pedophile that will molest children eventually? Guess how this will end up.

Make a mistake = clearly illiterate. OK.

You say it like it's a bad thing.
This is where I wrote something funny
Y'know the more I think about it, the more that the mainstream news networks (and most non-mainstream ones for that matter) try to cover something in pop culture that isn't related to movies or music, the more they tend to screw up on the story. Some of the main reasons is that anime fandom outside of Japan and possibly East Asia are realitively small and most of the fans aren't exactly the most open or accessible to the media. Partly due to this, they generally have to guess on a lot of things when it comes to reporting something that they have no knowledge in, and we found out how bad that turned out with video games. It also doesn't help that there are hundreds, if not thousands of different anime and manga out there, which it's extremely time-consuming and in this 24/7 media culture, you can't exactly be bogged down on something that really isn't that big in the first place here.
In no way that I'm defending CNN's article necessarily, but when they're covering something that most people don't know, it's pretty hard to get a real accurate and un-biased story for someone who normally doesn't bother with this. Because of this, sites like Anime News Network exist to cover a specific medium that regular news networks rarely, if ever bother with.
Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.
How ridiculous. Banning lolis isn't going to save millions of children from being raped.
If anything, it can be used by pedos as an outlet so they don't need real CP.
Did you guys even read the article? CNN never implied anywhere that anime and manga were porn. The title of this thread is misleading.

That said, I do agree that it's stupid, simply due to the fact that they're creating something that is completely harmless to real people, and it's not like the creators can't find many different loopholes around the law anyway.
This is the point that the thread has been missing. It boils down to "Should loli be legal?" not "All anime and manga is classified as porn." It's a pretty big stretch to title the thread as "CNN brands anime and manga as porn."
I'm not defending CNN, though, their news coverage has been slipping for a while now.
I........ wait..... what..... what....... WHAT.....

Clap clap.
Nope. But if you are then it wont stop you ;)
So... you just want the child fetish to be ok, to say the least. Atleast the fictional ones.

It's CNN, what do you expect?
You seem rather defensive, do you work for the CNN?

MSNBC is the democratic version of Fox News, CNN is more leftist in general, though they do get a lot of pub for democrats, so that's not completely off the mark.

Fox News isn't any more racist than any other news network, which is to say hardly at all, though they are pretty uncaring towards folks that aren't Republicans. Uncaring =/= racist, especially if you have someone like Geraldo Williams on their network, unless I'm mistaken.

If you're the one taking offense to that then it sucks to be you.
