Please tell me I'm not the only one running into... (13)

...all this illegal stuff on these imageboards. From reading some of the threads here it seems it's not uncommon, but why is it only the chans? I never see it anywhere else (except P2P programs but that's why I don't use those anymore). Is it a culture thing? Do people think because they can post lolicon and jb that this stuff is not a big deal?

It totally freaks me out and I'm getting paranoid. I always figured this stuff would be hard to get and I would never have anything to do with it. It's not like I'm going anywhere shady or even browsing the same boards twice (I really only check out what's on the Overchan). But I seem to keep encountering it. I checked out 1024chan the other day since it's number one on the TOP FIVE list thing so I figured it was a cool site... and it's like a haven for CP. No one has done anything about it either. 12chan is like dedicated to this stuff and it's been at the top of the directory forever, why does it even exist?

I'm not trying to bash anyone or be a moralist, I don't care what other people like to look at but I don't want anything to do with it. I don't even want to know about it or where to find it, the fact that I know I can find it on these boards bothers me. It wreaks havoc on my psyche and and with all the pedo paranoia these days it makes me feel like a criminal just thinking about it. Maybe I'm too sensitive but for me the effect is like finding a dead body in my backyard... like every week or so.

Please tell me if am I doing something wrong or should I just avoid imageboards altogether and get my hentai elsewhere? Do these sites get spammed with this stuff because they're in their infancy and not well moderated? I'm really not sure what to think at this point. I really think the chans are cool and I'm not trying to bash them, I'm just not sure why this stuff gets posted so often.

Sorry for the tl;dr

It's based purely on the ease of posting (generally sites have no registration or pre-moderated posting), the directness of the availability of content once posted (not hidden behind three clicks to view a post in a thread), and the lax moderation on many imageboards (stays up for hours or days).

So it's just the fact that it's easy to do?

Pretty much, yes.

Maybe I should just take a break from the Chans then... do you think there's a chance this stuff won't get posted so often in the future? Like when this site style gets more popular?

Because seriously, I don't see how you can upload all this CP all over the place and not have any negative repercussions or garner any attention from it outside the Internet. I never see this phenomenon mentioned anywhere else (except maybe with jokes like pedobear and the "party van", but I always figured that was a stab at lolicon and internet predators in general).

Doesn't this freak anyone else out?

You must be new.

I am kind of new to all this...

It's a CP dump. The main characteristic of nearly every single chan out there is being utterly anonymous - So something like someone posting CP is not only a plausible event, but EXPECTED. It's one of the downsides. If you feel disturbed by the presence of CP on a chan, then you should either get used to it or browse something else.

Even with that, child pornography is a big no-no on pretty much the entire world: That means if the mods don't get on quickly deleting CP threads and whatnot, the so-called "Partyvan" is likely to pull the plug if needed.

The fact that JB seems to happen immediately and in great volume as a result of the new medium suggests to me that people simply like it, for natural reasons: youth, health, vitality, naivete, teenage hormones, implied fertility, plus the authenticity of "amateur" shooting, very often done by the subjects themselves.

Rather than being a mere fetish, it's probably a great popular interest, with both sexes, that's just been repressed in old media to the point where people are surprised it pops up whenever it can.

CP is another matter, actually being a fetish.

You must be new here.

I suggest that you sidle over to /b/ on any of the larger imageboards, and post this.
