>>3926760I saw a YouTube video about the early days of the legalization of porn in Europe, and from what I heard, yeah, Western standards for sexual behavior towards non-adults in the 1970s wasn't that much different from Japan today, especially concerning pornography, which is today, the highest crime. It really is shocking how quickly standards for behavior have changed, and it's honestly ridiculous that folks back then, despite being so psychotically concerned with controlling how much sexual behavior kids could see in media, when kids IRL were abused, it was like nothing.
It was kinda worse sometimes: back in like the 50s, in the West, you sometimes read about cases were the concern was less "lifetime psychological trauma," and more "uh oh, little Susie's been naughty around Uncle Chester the Molester. We just call him that, don't know why," and "oh no, my son was molested. Does this mean he's gay now? Must be his fault ... somehow. I bet a vigorous spanking and switch to an 80% gruel diet would fix that."
Barely any cancellation, even social, for abusers back then, unless they were the gay kind!
