Default Re: dude gets jailed for have manga child porn

Even if there was a 100% correlation between people watching anime porn depicting kids having sex and them actually committing pedophilia, this law would still be unjust and wrong.

You can't punish someone because they might do something, someday. Probably. Maybe.

There are countries out there where every type of porn is illegal. Even if you don't watch porn, you do not want to live in those countries. It's important for us to protect everyone's rights to view fictional entertainment even if most people find it disturbing (professional wrestling, anyone?). Because one day they may come for what -you- enjoy.

But good luck fighting against this law - you'll be going up against the single most powerful phrase in politics: "It's to protect the children." People hear that and they are automatically for it, regardless of if it violates a person's rights or not.

But if I ever get the opportunity to sit on a jury where fiction is being treated as reality, I'll be sure to argue as hard as I can to see the person is declared innocent.
