This is why no one over 50 should be able to make laws affecting the Internet. They don't seem to grasp the concept of digital art not being reality.

No, it's a drawing.


I don't think it's entirely fair, ethical, or any sense at all for me to potentially go to jail because I decided one day to draw a fictional, exaggerated, anime, child.

It's inane.


But it's fine drawing fictional, exaggerated, anime, children

it's not fine drawing fictional, exaggerated, anime, children having sex.


Why isn't it fine to draw fictional, exaggerated, anime children having sex?

I am of the oppinion it should be used to round up its viewers into one central location which should then be locked down and flooded with nerve gas.


This is such a disturbingly extreme opinion I'm going to assume you're exaggerating unless you say otherwise.


No I am quite serious. If all the aforementioned people were to perish under the described conditions I do believe that as a species we would be much better off. After all, who is going to mourn neck bearded ****** weeaboos.

Wait, it's illegal in the US? I didn't know that. *thinks of how much Harry Potter fanart must be illegal in the US*


It is, as of the PROTECT Act of 2003 (the Amber Alert law). Even if it wasn't it could still be illegal if determined to be obscenity.


Wait, now I'm even more confused. I thought "obscene" things could be regulated in the sense that you cannot display them in public, but to outlaw them entirely would violate freedom of speech. Considering the things I've seen on the internet, I'm really confused now.


I think you're right, actually; states can't make ownership of obscene material illegal, except to sell, expose, or circulate.

I don't agree with *****, obviously, but to make it illegal? That would be ridiculous. I mean, there is no victim, nobody is being harmed, so why put someone in jail for it?

I bet you would also be neck-bearded if you waited long enough, jealous razz

Anyway. How about people who draw pictures of dead and violently dying children?

Of course it shouldn't be illegal
If that's made illegal, any depictions of any illegal acts must be made illegal

And at the same time, I also believe that viewing child porn should be made legal as well

If this stuff is illegal, then Stephen King and James Patterson should be put away for multiple murders.

I don't really know...
It does promote victimization...
but it's not a crime itself.


Actually, if anything, it deters it. It gives the presumed ***** an outlet, that does not harm any actual person. A lot like an angry person beating up a punching bag, as opposed to striking the person who's actually making them angry.

I would rather they seek counseling and find a more healthy habit. Seems more like a smoker looking at pictures of cigarettes while trying to quit. It's healthier to divert attention.

Assuming they're attempting to quit . . .

It just does. The very concept of someone being aroused by a child fills me with a killing rage.
Sort of like rapists and animal abusers.
The way my brain works disgusts liberals and other empathetic people, so I feel like I've got a right to hate what I see as evil.
there are just too many stupid ignorant people out there.

***** are sexually attracted to feet. their sexual attraction is the same as anybody elses to adult genitalia, animals, generally non-sexual objects, group fantasies, sadism, masochism, getting raped or raping, exhibitionism, voyeurism, etc.

s&m is getting from from hurting people or otherwise being hurt.

i like watching people kill others, get killed, and generally kick lots of ******** a** on t.v. and in movies. i'm a pacifist. i don't condone violence if it isn't absolutely necessary...unless it's fake, then everybody can die.

rapists are the ones harming others. some ***** may be rapists, but most of them are not and would not like to be. most rapists are not *****. any given ***** is less likely to be a rapist than anybody else, statistically. maybe you should kill yourself since you are more likely a rapist than any ***** you'll ever meet.

i saw a movie where a baby got punched in the face. i laughed hard. in drivers ed, i saw in a video a baby fly, in slow motion, face first into a windshield as a car hit it's breaks. i laughed for ten minutes straight. if loli should be illegal, violent film like this should be legal. if you are offended at my sense of humour, i'm glad.



viewing actual child pornography perpetuates the creation of such things. viewing drawn pictures of children in sexual acts perpetuates drawing those things. loli/shouta should not be illegal.
