It is an irony that would seem to escape the notice of many who do this very thing.James Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125466138669301618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253516949261298537.post-56935592757728748862008-03-19T10:36:00.000-07:002008-03-19T10:36:00.000-07:00RE: the Japanese law that differentiates between c...RE: the Japanese law that differentiates between child porn with photos and child porn from drawings. For me, there is an enormous difference between a drawing of a kid in some sexual situation and forcing some child to be in a sexual situation so that you can take a picture of it. I'm against child porn that exploits children, but I'm not opposed to exploiting ink. While I suppose I’d find drawn child porn distasteful if I saw it, I’m not opposed to its production. I often quote from the would-be anti-porn Meese report and one of the studies contained in it found that sexual abuse of child decreased as porn’s (including child porn) availability increased. If the trend was the reverse of what the study found, there is a very good chance I’d reverse my stance, but as is, it seems like I would ironically actually be promoting child abuse by being against child porn.Scott (The Mad Thinker) Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782962281214635210noreply@blogger.com
