Depending on how strict the laws you have in Denmark are, the theme might not be illegal. Yuri schoolgirl stuff is not necessarily pornographic in content or anything.

As for despicable and perverted, passing judgement on others for their tastes isn't my favorite thing to do, and considering that real-life girls aren't necessarily abused in making this type of thing I'm hesitant to castigate it as a Bad Thing, especially since a lot of it is subjective.

That part is age old and nobody really follows it. It is tradition to have it. Just like how several people still have the deadline referenced with regard to the forum reboot despite that not having been a thing for something like 5 years.

I should probably mention that yuri tends to describe a more innocent type of psuedo romance, rather than a sexual one.

Still sounds illegal or at least very gray zone.

The despicable and perverted comment was made on what Kiwi said in the general discussion, where he said it was sexualised minors.

Also with regard to drawings/stories versus photos then the law was changed half a decade back to ban them on equal footing with real photos. Now I can't say if this actually is illegal or just very gray zone, but since there isn't approval from the portrayed persons (fictional in this case hence approval being pretty hard to get) I would weer on it being illegal. That at least would be the case if it was real photos. So I am staying out just in case. (And even if it hadn't been illegal/very very gray zone I wouldn't be comfortable with it anyway.)
 
After hearing a bit more about this theme, I'm quite hesitant to remain in this game. I'm not really comfortable with joining a game whose RP exists in a legal grey zone.

Ah, I see.

I do not think that weer is a word, but this is a fair and good decision.
 
Yeah, given what I know of the Theme at this point, I'm afraid I too must be OUT.

This is ridiculous. If I write a graphic description of how I would kill someone, should I be tried for attempted murder?
 
So I'm not the most comfortable with this theme, even if it isn't really illegal. I don't know a lot about it, and I'd prefer to just avoid things that could make me uncomfortable in the first place.

Of course not, since that if fiction. (Though if there is evidence you are planning a murder spree I am not sure it is legal, but don't know.) Also don't think it is legal if you include real people.
And there was a huge discussion about it when the law changed since not everybody found it a good change. But the experts all agreed that having it be legal to see/possess drawings/stories of sexualised minors would only make child abuser problems worse instead of diminishing them, since eventually those drawings/stories wouldn't be enough anymore. This subject obviously is way different from things like murder and hence is treated differently and it was deemed that it was best to make it illegal (which I think was a good decision).

It indeed is.
 
Given I kicked the hornet nest on this one I should probably comment...

Where this game falls depends entirely on how it's treated. It could be a sweet and respectful tale of childhood romance, like a Disney fairy tale or the White Stripe's Elephant. Or it could be within forum rules and completely legal, but uncomfortably creepy for many and potentially conflict with codes of ethics or even tort law for the likes of teachers and social workers. Or it could go off the deep end and be against forum rules or even criminal law.

I trust Health not to do the third of those three. I expect Danish law doesn't require the permission of fictional over age of consent characters, though it might require that of IP owners. But I don't trust him enough on avoiding the second, and so this game isn't for me. It has too much weirdness potential to end up fetishising technically legal age fictional school girls, which would be too creepy for me regardless of legalities.

Magical schoolgirl might have been a better target to aim for. At least there's more to it than anime harems, however softly they're portrayed.

How exactly? They are both fictional treatments of subject matter which in reality is gruesome and despicable.

EDIT: And as Kiwi says the idea that this actual would fall under fictional versions of illegal or objectionable material appears to be that this point little more than hysteria. I can point you to games from years ago which include similar RP themes, to which no one complained.
 
Yeah I think I'll rescind my offer as an emergency player. This theme is way too borderline creepy.
 
Regressive leftists would get a enormous hard on from the talk about thought crimes in here.

I'm going to have reconsider being a part of this community if it can so easily be whipped into hysteria without evidence.

Well, I would say the lack of comment from Heath is concerning, but the point stands. Game. Werewolf. Theme does not have to be followed. If you have issues with the theme, say out and move on and let the game run to its conclusion. Don't stay in the thread and err on the WPK line.

I don't like the theme, but werewolf is werewolf.

It's pretty apparent what the intention is considering Health's comments in the WW Planning Thread.

Really? That's the bar for borderline creepy now? Because that's the same sort of thing that has been replied with noting more than "kinky!" for years.

Actually, what would be the gender neutral notation of "getting a hard on"? I don't want to discriminate anyone.
