and like 3D renders, imaginary.

sorry but once the mesh is rendered and put on display it stops being imaginary and becomes a reality that depicts a physical thing. it may like all art have come from the imagination but but it's tangible can be noticed by one or more of the physical senses be it sculprure, painting, or street drama. maybe writing would be the hardest to prove as being physically but the words are their to see. it being a work of fiction or not has no relevance.

 

as for no crime  for thinking something..you're obviously not a catholic lmao.....thinking about killing someone to a devout catholic is almost as bad as doing the deed and unless you repent before death will not enter the kingdom of heaven. though i know thats not what you meant lol
