From what I recall on the debates about manga ~20 years ago when people were getting in trouble for sexual mangas with young characters, consumers do not escalate their behavior to abuse. There may also be more recent studies. This is definitely a rehash of the same debate though - there should be lots of materials out there.
- croes 9mo agoIt’s not about consumers per se but abuser who consume. The Manga doesn’t turn people into abusers but what is the effect on already abusive personalities.
- RajT88 9mo agoI can appreciate the argument, but it also lends itself to (as Jello Biafra famously said), "Ban Everything" thinking. I guess an example for your proposal is the gun laws for not allowing convicted domestic abusers firearms. But a comic is nowhere near equivalent to a firearm. I think the argument is fraught.
