Well of course it goes without saying that if you're from the UK you're repressed. Where do you think America learned it from? LOL! Kidding. Seriously, there are those who argue that the actual harm to real children is only part of the damage this kind of thing does. While I'll not support the idea of thought crimes, it's true that permissiveness toward a concept gives it a means to flourish. The next thing you know, you have people arguing that if it's okay to think about this stuff, to make fictitious images of it, then maybe there is something redeeming to it after all. Some people will start to romanticize it and project all kinds of seemingly healthy "virtues" onto it, like NAMBLA. But it's not okay, it's just legal. Just because something is not illegal and shouldnt be made illegal doesnt make it right, good or moral; just as there are a good many things now that are illegal that shouldn't be (I'm sure if we all think really hard we might think of one or two. Fortunately, its not (in most cases anyway) the governments job to tell us what is moral and good, only what the majority of people think of as being tolerably sociable behavior. That still doesnt mean that these are not aberrant thoughts which should be subdued (by the individual). The same could be said for images of extreme violence made for entertainment. Currently, these are perfectly legal and feature in many excellent video games. This only makes them legal, not necessarily good. Please understand that Im not taking a stand toward censorship. I don't think that any kind of artistic expression should be criminalized. I do think that motivations should be scrutinized, immoral concepts shunned and maladjusted individuals helped to find healthier, more sociable means of gratification.
