    They could literally end both of those things if they actually gave a damn. It doesn’t help their profits though. It costs very little to ban lolis, and they probably consider that a PR win for most of the population. So their reasoning checks out from a sinister villain perspective anyway.

      As my favorite waifu Tonkatsu Sinclair says, it’s lazy activism. You get to feel good about yourself while not actually doing anything worthwhile that helps people.

      Not to mention diverting massive resources from actually stopping child harm towards a P.R. stunt. This would only actually harm children more.

      Last I checked, the FBI receives more than 2 million reports of CSAM a year, most of it inactionable. Who wants to bet how much of it is art and not actually a child being abused that they could really allocate resources to finding?

      i honestly doubt that the U.N. could end those but the Nations that reside in the U.N. could. This might sound like a stupid point to make but the U.N. mostly is a communication-forum, an effort to have nations talk to each other and to make working together easier. The U.N. might ratify something concerning world hunger or poverty but without the member states doing something about it nothing will happen. The U.N. simply has no power to force something onto nations. That is also why the U.N. will not be able to ban lolis. It is rather a comdenmation, which is also bad.

      But yeah, i too see this as a pr-stunt. People are so infatuated with pedophilia-hate that they will turn their brain off at the mention of the word.
