Not a lawyer, but 99% sure it's the same here in Canada as well.
Australia too. Hentai showing underage people is illegal here. From my understanding it's all a little grey depending on the state and whether the laws are enforced, but if it's about victimisation the law will be pretty clear.
Absolutely absurd. Criminalizing drawings is the stupidest thing in the world.
This case should already be illegal under harassment or similar laws. There's no reason to make drawings illegal
Nah dude, I am perfectly cool with animated depictions of child sexual exploitation being in the same category as regualr child exploitation regardless of the fact that she's actually a 10,000 old midget elf or whatever paper thin explanation they provide not to be considered paedos.
Well that's just absurd and you should rethink your position using logic rather than emotion.
Well that's an emotional response that includes no specifics or appeals to logic.
Lol.
You clearly have no logic so I'm not going to appeal to it. Just a general comment.
I am shocked to my core that you would write off an observation as having no logic. Shocked I tell you!
Not an observation. You're saying you don't care about actual victims, children actually being abused. Real, live victims. That's not worse than someone drawing some pictures you don't like?
Wow, you got me. That's totally what I am saying that you had to fabricate a quote that represents the argument you want to have.
Fabricate a quote? I literally quoted the start of the thread.
Misattribute then? My only position was that your rebuttal was not logical while asking for logic, which I thought was funny and "absurd" as you put it.
First of all I didn't say any of things you're inferring from the quote you posted.
But yes, I think sexually exploitative imagery of children is just as vile and disgusting as behavior that directly harms children and very indicative of someone who may attempt to harm a child in the future.
