Do you know what the MCL Newbie project is about? Even seasoned webmasters could learn a bit.
We take a webmaster(one who has been in the industry less than a year) and give him a project to start on from scratch. Something he has not done before, and he reports back to us with the good and bad of his learning process.
This particular project is a CJ2 site. I myself have never done a CJ2 site? have you? How many other webmasters on this board have? Could anyone on this board benefit from that information?
CAM, what is your actual point...I believe I missed it...?
You believe webmasters should use the term lolita if they feel like it, is that it?
I know the argument can't be that VISA/MC should process for it, so that's pointless... or that goverments should leave it alone because that ain't gonna happen either...
So the point is....free speech?

Seems like what is at issue is everyone's risk tolerance.
I have very low risk tolerance on an issue like use of the word lolita. Even though, I have no ethical/moral problems with use of the word, and I do understand the arguments, I would not myself run a
site with the word lolita in the title. Not that I think one will get prosecuted for such. I think the odds are very low. However. they are existent .. and I really wouldn't want to deal with THAT in court. Pornographers are the scum of the Earth to many. No sense tempting some random prosecuter looking to make a name for himself.
Also, I have to "live" in a society of my peers, all of you, and conduct business with all of you, so I don't see any reason to head down such a path where tempers get out of hand so easily.
As far as the moral/ethical issues. There are dangers of pornography. Period. Objectification of women does have SOME detrimental effect on society. Some pornography does become a factor in some rape crimes by some individuals. How much? A lot? A little? Hardly Any? Don't know. But some.
Furthermore, child porn fantasies must also lead to some criminal acts against children. Again. How many?
All of us accept the risk overall. We all add to the objectification of women in society.
What is the difference between these two issues? Why is a negative effect accepted on one case and not in another? I do not know. There is certainly less acceptable risk when it comes to children. I would guess there are very deep ingrained reasons behind this (The children are our future).
On a personal level, I have no interest in such fantasies, nor am I attracted even to the older teen variety of women (18-19). I tend to be attracted to women that are my age. One of the strange ones.
At any rate, it is the community of
webmasters that makes my decision for me in this case and not a moral/ethical one. I do not pretend to know what effect lolita has on society. I only know that most everything we do in our jobs has both positive and negative effects.

Cam: Perfume is completely marketed according to illicit and decadent references, ie, Opium, the sensually explicit containers and ads, etc. (Remember when Calvin Klein took the heat for ads that evoked kp?)
Just because they are willing to co-opt the term for all its illicit references does not make it any more right.
Sophistry will get a devil's advocate so far, but in the most supreme court almighty and on high, I doubt that argument will meet with any merit.

The problem here is we all have to deal with reality and not wishful thinking or logical interpretations...
Lolita may or may not be ultimately defined by dictionaries as KP, however, working in this industry WE have a heightened awareness of these terms...laymen do not. Like it or not, the scumbags HAVE co-opted that word to imply and identify KP and nothing will change that. It is in our best interests to run as far from it as possible, not embrace it or even look the other way based on "definitions" or "perceptions"...
The bad guys got the word. It can't be rescued, it can't be redeemed....we need to recognize that simple fact and move on.

Mike AI: Interesting analogy, but while I agree with the confederate flag being misappropriated, I do think Lolita was coined as slang for underage sexually aware girls directly as a result of Nabokov's book which is explicitly involving this subject matter.
Cam: Sure, as one who has been called immature here on many occassions, I can certainly say that is not really the issue. For me, I simply do not want to cater to people looking for lolitas.

Still, not saying anyone should be any way but just asking for people to think about it and realize that the use of certain terms connotes things to particular people. Be aware of it.

"I am not telling people what to do, just to think about what they are telling the people who come to their sites."
As I said in my original post, which you may not have read in full..... I tell people TWICE that all models found thru my site are 18+ years old. Once at the very top of the page and once at the bottom. And there is hardly anything on this page, so it is abundantly clear to any surfers what my site is delivering.
I actually went so far as to add in the top note that if they are looking for girls under 18, that they should contact their shrink.
The site seems to be converting pretty well so far...and like I said, I am not redirecting to a teen site that plays up the "very young" approach. So, what does that say about the traffic?? If these people are signing up, does it mean these people are not really searching for kp?

Adolescent is an "immature young person"...... how old could that

The dictionary definition of "Young" is:
young Pronunciation Key (yng)
adj. youngˇer, youngˇest
Being in an early period of life, development, or growth.
Newly begun or formed; not advanced: The evening is still young.
Of, belonging to, or suggestive of youth or early life: He is young for his age.
Vigorous or fresh; youthful.
Lacking experience; immature: a young hand at plowing.
Being the junior of two people having the same name.
Geology. Being of an early stage in a geologic cycle. Used of bodies of water and land formations.

personally I don't have an issue with the word Lolita. A lot of hypocrisy about this stuff.
When Britney Spears was 17 she was the #1 sexual fantasy for most men in the US according to some poll (can't remember from where).
One of the biggest hits in Europe right now is called Ma Lolita
Most young people in Denmark have their sexual debut well before 18, and it's legal when they are 15.
KP and lolita is not the same in my book.

If you wanted to discuss the issue, you could have thrown in your 2 cents (half a penny, in your case).... instead you jumped in with accusatory and inflammatory comments trying to make me the fucking bad guy.
Obviously, I have questions about the issue also OR I wouldn't have brought it up. You were way out of line.

Monk: Let me save you the dime. Take this transcipt to a lawyer and see if he will take the case without a huge upfront retainer.
You know, throwing around law suit threats kind of speaks volumes of your age and/or experience.

Here we are again at the same crossroads.... ;)
May I interject my opinion?
Lolita is not a KP keyword and does not conotate
KP visions...at least not for me. It simply means
"young"..... I like em' young but legal. being
almost 40, young can be anyone under 30 and above
18!
"pre teen" and "pedo" are completely different.....
they are most definitly KP keywords and infer illegal
activities.
Does it mean someone is a pervert if they like young
looking girls? who the fuck cares as long as she's legal.
The problem here is people mixing opinion with legality.....again,
who cares?
Monk....you should go with your own "comfort level" on that domain,
fuck everybody else's "opinion"!

MikeAI,
I respect your opinion and I figured your silence on the issue meant that you would not own a domain like that.
Frankly, I was leaning that way also, but wanted to hear comments from boths sides of the fence.
Like I said, I really have not surfed around much on some of the fringe sites and was not sure on the word's REAL meaning to surfers.

Mike AI and Monk: If it seems like I was calling Monk a kp'er, then I do sincerely apologize, however, I do think my point about what a name like that signifies and what it panders to are deserving of questioning. I don't think it is unfair or cheap shooting to reconcile the issue in this public forum.
My words are very clear. I do not ever accuse Monk of doing KP but I do question his use and knowledge of the term lolita. We are all smart to question the use of that term and even if Colin has no problem with it, I am sure he had to reconcile the morality of it in some manner. I do have a problem with that term, but I am also wary of even saying "teen", prefering "barely legal" to describe the younger women.
Now, I do admit that I was taking a shot at Monk partly for some of the random swipes I felt to be the brunt of previously, however I did not pick some unimportant trivial issue to task. I did not jump into anything that I had no right to be in or no worthy opinion to express.
I hope you accept my apology, but still hear the merit of my criticism.
I will keep an eye out for you and Serge.

"Sue me because I had to explain to you what lolita means in the adult industry?"
OK, we'll see what a judge thinks about these words -
"you have been pandering to the lowest common denominator of sick fucks imaginable."

Far-L,
I specifically redirected that traffic to a teen site where the girls did not look excessively young, just so there would be no misinterpretations.
There is an argument to be made that having a domain like that with significant traffic is better in the hands of people that aren't going to pander to the wants of people who are truly looking for this kind of stuff.
I had considered auctioning this site off, but then I would not be able to control who gets it and it may fall into the wrong hands. I would much rather sell it to someone who is comfortable owning the domain but would not actually engage in any kp activities. I may just put it in your name as a gift.
Again, this is all assuming that people typing 'lolita' are looking for underage girls. I don't know if this is the case and I may be naive in that area. Like I said, dictionary.com gives 'teen' as a synonym for 'lolita'. Is everybody that searches for teen a pervert too? I don't know the answer.
And like I said, before I got into the industry, the only lolita I knew was the Long Island Lolita, Amy Fisher.
And I like the way you addressed your last post to MikeAI instead of me, when you are doing your backtracking. If you are gonna call me a kp-er, don't go slinkering behind my back when you want to tone things down.
FUCKWAD!!

far l you and I are on same spot with the lolita thing. Because of the connotation I refuse to do anything with it.
I think Monk was trying to gauge what other peoples opinions were. While you and I are against it, Colin who is a well respected webmaster had no major issues with it. So opinions do vary.
But to label and try to put on a KP name on Monk was not fair, and to me a cheap shot.
Hell none of us are angels, we all have things to be slammed on wihout having to resort to throwing out the KP charge. ( unless it REALLY fits)

Mike AI: I respect your opinion on this subject and so I ask this sincerely and not in my evil Far-L psyche, don't you think that just the use of "lolita" attracts that type of clientele? I know from Monk saying in his posts that they are 18 and up, but the pervs going for that stuff are certainly enticed by the premise of them looking really young. They go their looking for "lolitas", the more underage they look, the better, hence the bobby socks and lolly pops etc.
Now, I used to work for Max Hardcore, a porn dude who has pushed this subject to the boundries, and I know there is a justifiable argument that consenting adults should be allowed to indulge in the fantasies and role playing of their choosing. However, this is one area that is definately grey and for that reason makes me uncomfortable.
I do not approve of any processor doing kp stuff. Bestiality I am personally not into, but morally it does not bother me as does the kp issue.
Monk: I do not think you are doing kp, but I do think having a lolita url is completely marketing to that element. You can say whatever to me, the insults are just more gumbo here to me and I like gumbo, even with okra. My opinion stands though. You should not have cast the first stone unless you wished to be judged as well. Now when you sell the domain, someone else will be able to profit from that premise as well.
You hear it time and again. If we don't learn how to censor ourselves, then the government will come in and do it for us.
You can call me childish, Monk, but I am talking to you as a man. What are you going to do to help this problem? (I mean besides punching me tough guy...)

I think I will get rid of the lolita name.
In honor of Farrell, I think I will transfer it to another registrar in his name.

I would take Far-L onto Sally Jesse to resolve this but he would just start spouting off about how he had a tough childhood and that is why he has remained in an infant-like state for all his life.
The audience would ooooh and aaaaahh and everybody would forgive his transgression because he has so many 'issues'.
Fuck that.

Mike,
She's the product of marketing genious. Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are the same. Together their sales are astronomical. I've got to wonder since none of them came out and made it on their own, how much their management team get's out of the pot? This is the day of the manufactured pop star.
