ya know what, I change my mind about this petitionAshton wrote:
While I agree that waifuism is cringe, I am principally against restricting the liberty of those within this subforum.
You say that the church of hoshimachi suisei has "...spread turmoil and chaos upon the inhabitants of OT so much that the denizens begged for it to be locked." however you are conflating certain vehemently anti-waifuism denizens being disconcerted of the presence of a church that does not align with their personal views with the spreading of 'turmoil' and 'chaos'. You also fail to aknowledge the benefit that those who engage in waifuism experience; that is, they have created spaces in which they can create and express their religion freely which allows them to not only build a sense of community, but also (whether we agree with them or not) develop their mental and physical selves in a way that is aligned with their religiosity and spirituality. Denying them this is not just cruel, but is outright tyrannical in nature. I cannot imagine what other terrible things the government has the potentiality to do if a bill like this sets a precedent.
Furthermore, the definition of 'worship' is clearly left intentionally ambigious. I refuse to believe this is an oversight. The government will undoubtedly use this ambiguity to prosecute users who even go so far as to mention a slight interest for a human like fictional character (or even just have them as a profile picture!) so they can disenfranchise and exile those individuals they personally dislike, using the excuse of eradicating 'degeneracy'.
Because if we allow the government to ban waifuism, then we allow the government to ban other groups of people with an intrest, and if we allow the government to do that, we then allow the government to ban free speech. And if we continue to keep it up we will eventually recreate the world of 1984 where one's self expression is virtually non-existant. While I am not a weeb myself, I do think you shouldn't really silence people because of their interests as long as they don't encourage or cause any real-world danger or harm.
