He realizes one, say a 8 year old Niece B, hadn't quite been indoctrinated yet, so she won't get hurt by an advance (unlike his other nieces). He goes and makes his, uh, pitch. Understand this - there was no coercion involved, no blackmail (not even the usual kind of threats that parents use to get their kids to perform), nothing like that, OK? Just a 'game' invitation, almost as if they were going for baseball or something - "no" does mean "no". Fortunately, Niece B who likes Uncle A (they go way back) says "Yes", which freed him from the dilemma of what exactly to say if she demurred.
The game's name was "Strokeclit". Anyway, the experience was a bit ticklish and funny for Niece B, but nothing uncomfortable or anything like that - it was on the pleasant side of neutral at least. I suppose I don't have to say Uncle A got a release that was all the more valuable for the 15+ years he had wait for it. Uncle A sweetens it more by buying Niece B a nice present afterwards.
Now, so far, where is the harm to the niece. As far as she knew, she played a moderately amusing game with a beloved Uncle and even got a present out of it - and her Uncle is happy. No physical injuries. Tell me where she got traumatized or abused so far.
What will is fate be?

Controversial opinions are not punished (although dishonest arguments put forth to support them may be; see posting rule #3). However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. People who advocate pedophilia will be summarily banned. The same goes for white supremacists. For that matter, anyone whose behaviour would be considered a violation of Canada's hate speech law may be banned. Also, we have a general moratorium on "Israel vs Palestine" threads because they always go round and round in the same circles. Only post IvP threads involving some genuinely newsworthy recent event, not just to rekindle the debate over which of them is more evil. 1As well, there is a moratorium on versus/hypothetical scenario discussions involving the Gor series, as the misogynist philosophy espoused by the author and some fans of the series is widely agreed to be entirely revolting and without any possible merit, and such threads invariably devolve into genocide fantasies with no redeeming value.

Anyone with any amount of intelligence should realize that there's no acceptable defence of pedophilia. Even if he demonstrates that he was just playing devil's advocate games without realizing how offensive he was being, and doesn't really support that position, he ought to be banned as an object lesson against typing without thinking.

It's a cut-and-dried application of the rules. His position in the pedophilia thread goes beyond what is reasonable for someone who is just playing the devil's advocate. His positions seem to very clearly be those of someone who is a pedophile apologist at best, and an open advocate for the general acceptance of pedophiles at worst. There can be no mitigating factors here.
Kazuaki Shimazaki clearly advocates pedophilia in the thread linked in the original post; such beliefs are disgusting at best and terribly harmful in application. In accordance with Posting Rule 6, ban his worthless ass.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
Damn... just... wow...
I always thought Kaz was a little odd, but seeing no harm in an uncle stroking an 8-year old's clitoris came from completely off the radar.
Ban.

I've got a better game than StrokeClit. It's called StrokeBanstick. Let's play it with the pedophile apologist.
