Animated child pornography.

I think if you can show that it's a matter of doing one thing (masturbating over anime) or the other (physically abusing a child for real) rather than just speculate you may have a point. But can you?

How do you know that, as others have suggested, this might not make matters worse - and that a taste of forbidden fruit in cartoon form might not lead to a desire to search for real flesh?

You say in you're opening post that you've actually researched this. Well, have you?

What do you mean "you don't think it would necessarily make matters worse"? Presumably, having researched this, you should be able to provide a lot of evidence that this actually makes matters better.

Again, I have to question you - what research have you actually done on this?

Personally, I'm in favour after doing a little research.

Basically an artist draws children in sexual poses etc. Note: these drawings are not drawn real life child models.

We proscribe child pornography to keep children from getting sexually exploited. Cartoon characters aren’t real people, and we don’t need to protect them from predators.

What do you think?

i'm sorry but even the idea of this is disgusting

wtf?!

I didn't say it would make things "better", just that I think it would be "good" and wouldn't make things "worse". I hope we've got semantics sorted now. The research was just a general trawl of the internet/articles/forums.

Don't be sorry, you're one of the few sane people on this thread.

Everyone who watches child pr0n is a rapist?

(Actual paedophilic rape is relatively rare and almost invariably practised by a member of the household, I would suggest you go see more)

Sounds like paedophiles don't need child porn, you just need a social life.

Oh, a quick google then.

I have one thanks "ArcadiaHouse", I didn't realise that doing a little research on a topic meant you can't have a social life. In that case, get off the internet you social retard.

less gay porn => less gays => less gay marriages?

less rape fantasy porn=> less rape fantasies => less rapists?

less pedophilia toons/ etc => less pedophilia spanking material => number of pedophiles goes down/ less of act on their fantasies

You don't make sense.

Quick look at TSR > "researching" methods of combating child pornography as a way of spending a little free time.

If you say so. I'd go for "extensive", though.

How's it sick? Would you rather a peadophilia expressed their urges through masturbation to animated child porn, or, on the other hand, physically abuse a real child? And no, regardless of how witty you may think you were being, it'd just be normal artists, you don't need to be a child molestor to draw.

Uh, you're so dense. I research whatever I find interesting, not what I find appealing. And I think combating real child pornography is quite a worthy cause, to be honest.
