{{transcript}}
Hi YouTube, it's iliketehinternet here. I thought I'd take a break from contemplating all the different ways I could brutally murder the person who invented homework and make a video for you guys. I think you should feel honored, really.

So today I thought I'd make a video about pedophilia. Or as you could also name it, reason 5,687 on why the society we've built for ourselves is completely stupid. So, when I say the word pedophile, what's the first thing that pops into your head? I'm guessing it's someone who molests children. And I guess the stereotype for that that popped into your head, the image, would be some guy in, with glasses and a trenchcoat maybe in a white van or at a playground. And that's a good example of what the media and -- the mainstream media anyway -- and society has done that is completely unfair. Because a pedophile by definition is just someone who feels attraction towards children.

The reason I wanted to make a video about this is because society as a whole treats pedophiles as social outcasts because they -- the way they view pedophilia is just someone who molests children, which isn't true. Because I think that, you know, I'm pretty sure that about 95% of people who feel attractions toward children are -- they're actually -- [don't] molest children. [??]

I mean, when you think about it, pedophiles have it so much worse than any gay person. I'm not saying, by the way, that gays don't have it hard, by the way; I'm just saying that, I mean, they must have it so much harder than any gay person. As far as I'm concerned, a pedophile who represses his feelings is a very, very good person.

Pedophilia is -- well, no, it's not the same -- pedophilia is the same as homosexuality in the sense that you can't help it, it's not your fault, and seeing, I mean, society doesn't exactly treat gays that well either. But, for, I mean, if you think about how hard it must be to be a pedophile, and hear absolutely no sympathy towards people like you -- Pedophiles, the ones who don't molest children, are really the victims here, and they are being completely unfairly bludgeoned by the mainstream media.

Of course, I'm not saying that anyone who actually does molest children is not a bad human being. Catholic Church, you're not off the hook. Anyway, the moral of the story here is that the mainstream media has completely butchered the idea of pedophilia, and that we should all acknowledge pedophilia as a serious issue and a problem and that any closet pedophiles should just seek help that society -- that we have right now at this moment -- doesn't give them.

Wakashudō

Hikari: cleanup

{{Cleanup}}
The wakashudō 若衆道
or "way of the boys" is the traditional form of pederasty in Japan former, since at least the eighth century. It is used in the same sense elliptical shapes and nyakudō shudo 衆道若道, or the terms nanshoku 男色 and Bido 美道.

This social link between emotional and sexual male adult and a young boy was originally practiced by monks Buddhist, then by the samurai. Still very much alive in the nineteenth century, it is thought to be the most durable pederastic institution attested in the history of mankind {{cite}}.

=Vocabulary=

The pederasty may be designated in Japanese by rather different
terms, which have significant nuances.

The wakashudō

The word wakashudō 若衆道 is
the one whose pederastic meaning is the most obvious. It consists of
three elements distributed as follows:

The final character, dō 道, means "way". It is
the same character in the Chinese word dao, pointing the way along which we
progress, moral art to do something to get better personally.

The word Wakashū 若衆 means
"young person", or rather "boy": it is indeed
never uses that term for a girl. It combines two characters:

waka 若 "young"

shū 衆 "person"

The wakashudō is clearly the "way of the boys."

This word appeared in the seventeenth century is widely used in
ancient works. It is often found in the abbreviated forms shudo 衆道,
which holds the last two characters of which there are testimonies
from 1485 or nyakudō若道,
which meets on the first and last character (若may
also decide Nyaku).

The nanshoku

The word nanshoku男色(which
also reads danshoku) takes Chinese characters nán男"man"
and sè色"color",
which together literally means "masculine colors."

The character 色
"color" refers more particularly the red
color of the face, so the excitement. By derivation, it means in
Japan and China on sexual pleasure .

The nanshoku term can be understood as the "manly lust"
or "lechery between males". It was widely used in the
pre-modern period to name the pederastic sex, or possibly homosexual
.

The Bido

Also found in a neighboring word meaning Bido美道,
"beautiful way", which unites the two character美"beautiful"
to dō道"way".
This is somehow the "way of the fine" - a美少年bishōnen
is a "beautiful boy".

In short, more reminiscent nanshoku pleasure, passion, virility;
while wakashudō and our refers to a choice philosophical and
search for wisdom focuses on young boys.

=Boy age=

A samurai and his young disciple (shudo tale, 1661)

In the pre-modern Japan, one considers a boy as available for
pederastic relationships only during the time it is Wakashū .
This period begins at the age when the head should be shaved
partially (maegami) between five and ten years: while the boy leaves
the child and can begin studies, an apprenticeship , or take a job
outside the home family . The status of Wakashū ends at the
ceremony majority (Genpuku), which marks the transition to adulthood:
it usually occurs during the teenage years .

Throughout this period, the Wakashū sports a distinctive
hairstyle, with a small part of his shaved skull and hair above the
forehead and sides. Moreover, it generally carries a kimono with open
sleeves. After the ceremony the majority, by contrast, the top of the
head is shaved, giving an adult style (chonmage), and the young man
must wear adult kimono with sleeves rounded.

Originally the Genpuku was sitting between eleven and seventeen.
But gradually this limit was pushed between fifteen and twenty years.
It could even happen that the ceremony be delayed beyond socially
acceptable limits, to maintain the possibility of wakashudō type
of link, or, in the case of young prostitutes , to extend their
availability. These excesses led in 1685 to the adoption of a law
requiring all Wakashū go through this ceremony later at the age
of twenty-five years.

Although young people were thus clearly divided into three
categories - child and adult Wakashū - ages defining the passage
from one to the other have always been relatively flexible, allowing
to adapt to the actual development, both physical and psychological,
of the boy.

In a treatise of the seventeenth century, Ishikawa no Soshi [2]
states that the partner liability of wakashudō usually has
between seven and twenty-five years - an average age of sixteen, who
seems to have been most appreciated.

One might think that a young Japanese of old, because of its
ethnic characteristics and a less abundant nutrition today, kept a
youthful appearance longer present a young European. On the other
hand, a sort of court platonic several years - five or six years -
was often recommended prior to "consume" the union to
ensure the right choice of the partner and the strength of the link:
the little boy seven years could sometimes wait up to twelve or
thirteen years to take such a step.

In Wakashū no haru ("Spring boys"), there is this
saying that restricts the desirable range - but the median age
remains at sixteen:

" From eleven to fourteen years the boy is a burgeoning
flower; from fourteen to eighteen is a flourishing flower; and
nineteen to twenty-two is drooping flower. »

=Japanese and Greek pederasty Wakashudō=

The similarities between wakashudō and pederasty Greek are
numerous:

Romantic relationships are within the framework of education
elitist.

They are structured according to a difference in age and
status.

Only man is sexually active .

In general intercourse cease when the youngest become adult.

These pederastic relationships do not exclude links
heterosexual nor marriage .

However, significant differences exist between the Japanese
institution and its Greek equivalent:

Historically, wakashudō began with concern the monks and
their novices, before moving to the samurai; conversely, the Greek
pederasty was primarily a initiation warrior, then by the myths
religious and philosophical backgrounds.

The initiative in Greece was still the fact of the adult,
unlike apprentices samurai who propose their future master lover .

When there is exchange of vows , the relationship is
monogamous wakashudō principle, which is not necessarily the
case in Greece (especially Crete , where a boy was honored to have
several lovers).

The man-boy relationships in Japan is very overtly sexual,
while the Greeks were often more discreet or less approvers on this
point.

The anal is quite allowed in respect of the young Japanese,
unlike the Greeks who were satisfied in general the intercrural
coitus .

Finally, in the traditional Japanese concepts of pederasty and
homosexuality are certainly close, but clearly distinct; Greece, on
the contrary, homosexuality between adults was seen as a variant of
pederasty.

Brass eye Episode 07 Paedogeddon! (TV series)

2016-10-01T16:03:56Z

Hikari: /* Response */

'''Brass Eye''' is a surreal UK television series parodying the current affairs style news programming of the mid 1990s. A series of six episodes aired on Channel 4 in 1997, and a further episode (Paedogeddon!) in 2001.

From Wikipedia:
<blockquote>The series was created by Chris Morris, and written by Morris, David Quantick, Peter Baynham, Jane Bussmann, Arthur Mathews, Graham Linehan and Charlie Brooker. The series was directed by Michael Cumming. It was a sequel to Morris's earlier spoof news programmes On the Hour and The Day Today. It satirised media portrayal of social ills, in particular sensationalism, unsubstantiated establishmentarian theory masquerading as fact, and creation of moral panics. The series starred Morris's The Day Today colleague Doon Mackichan, along with Gina McKee, Mark Heap, Amelia Bullmore, Simon Pegg, Julia Davis, Claire Skinner, Hugh Dennis and Kevin Eldon.
</blockquote>
==Paedophilia special (2001) Episode 07 Paedogeddon!==
From Wikipedia:
<blockquote>
A special one-off edition of the show aired four years after the series had ended. Originally scheduled to broadcast on 5 July 2001, it was later delayed as Channel 4 were unhappy with the timing in connection to the then-recent disappearance of two children.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cozens|first1=Claire|title=C4 pulls Brass Eye special|url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2001/jul/05/channel4.broadcasting1|website=theguardian.com|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=1 June 2014}}</ref> It eventually aired on 28 July 2001, but this didn't stop it from becoming the most controversial episode of the series.

It tackled [[pedophilia|paedophilia]] and the [[moral panic]] in parts of the British media following the {{w|murder of Sarah Payne}}, focusing on the {{w|name and shame|name-and-shame campaign}} conducted by the ''{{w|News of the World}}'' in its wake. This included an incident in 2000 in which a {{w|paediatrics|paediatrician}} in {{w|Newport, Wales|Newport}} had the word "PAEDO" daubed in yellow paint on her home.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/901723.stm Paediatrician attacks 'ignorant' vandals], {{w|BBC}} News, 30 August 2000</ref>

To illustrate the media's knee-jerk reaction to the subject, various celebrities were duped into presenting fatuous and often ridiculous pieces to camera in the name of a campaign against paedophiles. {{w|Gary Lineker}} and {{w|Phil Collins}} endorsed a spoof charity, Nonce Sense, (pronounced "nonsense"—"{{w|nonce (slang)|nonce}}" being British slang for people convicted or suspected of molestation or sexual crimes), with Collins saying, "I'm talking Nonce Sense!" ''{{w|Tomorrow's World}}'' presenter {{w|Philippa Forrester}} and {{w|ITN}} reporter {{w|Nicholas Owen (journalist)|Nicholas Owen}} were shown explaining the details of HOECS (pronounced "{{w|hoax}}") computer games, which online paedophiles were using to abuse children via the {{w|internet}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1792738.stm|title=MPs' Brass Eye complaints rejected|work=BBC News Online|date=31 January 2002|accessdate=27 August 2014}}</ref> {{w|Capital Radio}} DJ {{w|Neil Fox (media personality)|Neil "Doctor" Fox}} (himself arrested in 2014 relating to alleged historic sex offences) told viewers that "paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me", adding "Now that is scientific fact—there's no real evidence for it—but it ''is'' scientific fact". At one point, bogus CCTV footage was shown of a paedophile attempting to seduce children by stalking the streets while disguised as a school.

Lineker described paedophile text slang, stating that "{{w|Baltimora|BALTIMORA}}" translates to "literally, I'm running at them now with my trousers down". Labour MP {{w|Syd Rapson}} related that paedophiles were using "an area of internet the size of Ireland". {{w|Richard Blackwood}} stated that internet paedophiles could make {{w|computer keyboard}}s emit noxious fumes to subdue children, subsequently sniffing a keyboard and claiming that he could smell the fumes, which made him feel "suggestible". Blackwood also warned watching parents that exposure to the fumes would make their children "smell like hammers". Other notable figures appearing as themselves were {{w|Sebastian Coe}}, {{w|Michael Hames}}, {{w|Andy McNab}}, {{w|Kate Thornton}}, {{w|Barbara Follett (politician)|Barbara Follett}} MP and {{w|Gerald Howarth}} MP.

The studio was "invaded" by a fictional militant {{w|Age of consent reform|pro-paedophile activism}} organisation called "Milit-pede", and the programme appeared to suffer a short technical disturbance. When it returned, presenter Chris Morris confronted a spokesman, Gerard Chote (played by {{w|Simon Pegg}}), who had been placed in a {{w|pillory}}, asking if he wanted sex with Morris's six-year-old son. Hesitantly, the spokesman refused, apologetically explaining "I don't fancy him".

{{draft}}
'''Kuroshitsuji''', or Black Butler, is a manga and anime series that follows the adventures of a twelve to thirteen year old boy, Ciel Phantomhive, and his demon butler Sebastian Michaelis living in Victorian era London. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Butler "Black Butler"]. Wikipedia. Retrieved December 1, 2015.</ref>
==Plot==
In Victorian-era London lives the young boy, Ciel Phantomhive. On the night of his tenth birthday, a fire engulfed his manor house, his parents were murdered, and he was captured by a mysterious organization. After a month of enduring excruciating and humiliating torture, Ciel returns to the Phantomhive household with an enigmatic black-clad butler, Sebastian Michaelis. To others, it seems that the butler is simply the best at his craft, from anticipating his young master's needs to carrying them out to the best of his inexplicable abilities. Little do they know, Sebastian is actually a demon that has entered into a contract with Ciel, promising to help the boy achieve revenge on those who have wronged him in exchange for his soul. As the Queen's Guard dog and standing at the top of the British underworld, Ciel solves the crimes plaguing London while waiting for the day he will exact his revenge.
==Main Characters==
<big>Ciel</big> 
Ciel is a short, thirteen-year-old boy with black hair and rich, deep blue eyes. As described by Nina Hopkins, his tailor, Ciel has a "wonderfully proportioned body." His arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim, and his waist narrow. <ref>Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 37, pages 12-13</ref> Ciel typically dresses in a way that suits his noble standing, and he has a very extensive wardrobe. Ciel is the head of the Phantomhive noble family and the business owner of the Funtom company, a toy manufacturer. Ciel is an arrogant and shrewd boy. He and Sebastian frequently work together.

<big>Sebastian</big> 
Sebastian takes on the appearance of a tall, handsome adult with black hair, red eyes, and pale skin. He typically dresses in a butler outfit, which consists of black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest. Sebastian is a dedicated butler to Ciel Phantomhive, and upholds a strong sense of duty to his master and household. He faithfully follows and carries out every one of Ciel's orders, while ensuring that the Phantomhive house runs smoothly. He does not sleep—for demons deem it a form of luxury—and thus, he frequently performs tasks for Ciel at night. He always responds to Ciel's demands with the saying "Yes, my lord." When Sebastian has helped Ciel avenge his parents' deaths, Sebastian will be allowed to consume Ciel's soul.

==Reception==
Black Butler has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, 5 million outside Japan.<ref>[http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/group/index.html#comic1 "Businesses"]. Square Enix. May 18, 2015. Retrieved November 26, 2015.</ref> 
Sebastian and Ciel have been popularly "shipped" together in [yaoi|yaoi], with many doujinshis for sale online and in stores. 
The series has been so sucessful that it has become the subject of a Drama CD, a video game for Nintendo DS, a live action film, and musical adaptation was run in 2009 titled That Butler, Friendship (その執事、友好 Sono Shitsuji, Yūkō).<ref>[http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/That_Butler,_Friendship "That Butler, Friendship"].
