Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm reading this thread on Fur Affinity, apparently a law has been created in the UK that makes it punishable to look at cub porn, or any drawing or 3D art that represents an underage individual.

I do not like cub porn. However, if someone wants to look at that stuff, fine with them.

To say that fake artwork of child porn will make someone molest a kid is like saying that GTA will make me kill hookers, do drugs, and steal cars. The governments keep on trying to say that certain things MAKE people commit crimes, like video games or cub porn, forgetting that in the end it's the individual's decision to commit the crime, and you can't just scapegoat his behavior on the video games or the cub porn.

When will our governments stop being nazis? When will the time come when the lower class must murder the upper class in an orgy of violence and bloodshed, because I welcome that day.

Pretty much the same opinion here. As long as its fictional, it doesn't matter... Though I will say that if someone is doing something that is truly alarming, then said person should be kept under a looking glass. I should say that this would be different than just suspicious behavior, rather it shows intent to actually commit acts that harm another (rape, molestation, murder, etc...)

Anyway, as far as governments are concerned, it's not really something I can talk much about for the UK. I don't know if they have the same laws meant to limit government intrusion in peoples lives... Even vague ones meant to be rather sweeping such as the right to privacy. (How much privacy? Can you have privacy in public? Is the internet public or private? etc...) [Stranger issues come up with people believing it's a violation of their privacy when cameras are put up around public places, yet they wouldn't complain if expensive cops were placed in the same areas instead...]


Anyway! I can't say anything about the UK really. It's not like they're the only ones with the crazy. Australia has been doing similar crazy things with privacy and media and stuff. Insaaane politicians.

...There are times when I think a revolution is needed, but then I just remember that such cases usually end up in dictatorships and wars across Europe. razz

The funny thing is that smoking is worse yet hardly no one claims smoking is a gateway drug to cocaine or other hard drugs. There are medically prescribed drugs that are worse or as bad as cigarettes and yet virtually no one claims they're gateway drugs either unless they're abused. ...Yet they're still handed out like candy.

This has little to do with the topic but it irks me enough to want to rant about it. stressed

All i have to ask is ...wow am i going to be punished in the uk for drawing a tiger apropriate tiger size and a cat ....notably sizeibly diffrent and get mess with because of this ...damnit i like my anatomy to be correct.

for once I kinda get lee's point :l

darn goverment. i don't really got anything to add.

Ok.

First off, I would prefer to have drug law talk as a separate thread. I will become quite ferocious on that subject because of a variety of reasons, but it comes down to the fact that I'm a better person because of my drug use and I don't regret it at all.

***** sexuality exists. (Kinsey)

Adult/child sexual relationships exist. (duh)

I make no claims as to morality. However, I fail to see how phantasy should be illegal in any context!

Yes, there have been cases where persons who were attracted to pre-pubescent persons were forbidden to enter public parks.

That sounds like "thought policing" to me.
