Quote - I see this all as a "proposed" problem.  Now I think i'd have a fit if my thirteen year old daughter came down from her room dressed in that thing......... however, she's all nice and real, and the outfit is polygons, it wouldn't work out.

I think its slightly rediculous that someone is harping an item, tossing gernalizations in a blanket over an entire community, over an item which, ........ may not even be used in the way described by the original poster.

Now.......  SHOW me where this item is being used to illicit child pornography, show me there's actual poser users spewing out all these child figures in bondage using THIS item...... and I'll get behind you.

Until then you are -guessing- what people will use it for.  Since you are the one imagining its implications, does that not mean that YOU are the pervert?  After all, you are the one comming up with the fetishised connotations, and not us.

Yanno you brought to mind something, I have two girls, 10 and 14 and their cousin who's 17 had a couple pair of those 'fetish' pants with all the straps and bits of chain wrapped around and off the pants waist and legs. My girls were dying for some too (too danged expensive for kids who'll grow out of em in a couple of months tho) ...I could actually see a teen using that harness over some kind of outfit as a fashion statement depending on the crowd they ran with...punketts, bat babies, anime wannabes and the like.
