But more seriously, I don't think that this search for extreme porn holy grail is likely to include ********** (real, young looking children), because that's simply not appealing for regular person. That's good news, IMO.
One trouble with ********** is that the usual definition is extremely broad, even if you keep only real stuff. Talk to people about ********** and they will probably imagine raped toddlers or something. Weakhearted ones will faint right away, technical types will struggle imagining how could it even work, and they will all agree that it's just the worst thing. But that's not only this, ********** by popular definition is also nude pictures of 17yo. So if a girl sends her boyfriend some nudes of herself, she's technically producing **********. Or maybe she (or he, lets not discriminate) has great fun showing off in front of webcam. No one gets hurt, everyone is happy. I'm not saying it should be ok (there's good argument for "they're too young to know what they're doing"), but it's vastly different from general perception of ********** as this horrible thing with abused innocent children.
But lets make it "easy" and take only the undoubtedly bad stuff, real abuse. My general belief is that as long as something doesn't affect other people, any person can do whatever they want, I think it's the basic idea of freedom. If I would possess **********, would it affect anyone? Not really, it would be just some files sitting on my harddrive. But it's not so simple. If I made it, it's bad, because it means I abused someone. If I bought it, it's also bad, because it's encouraging production. So far it's clear. But if I would just download it from somewhere for free, then it's becoming less clear. It could be e.g. from some sharing forum. If I'd just download it, without even giving "like" to post, I'd not be giving anyone any validation of what they're doing or incentive to produce more. So on one hand it's ok, but on the other one it isn't, because after all, we're talking about bad stuff where someone got actually hurt.
The question is, what's the best solution. As far as I know, opinions differ even among experts (it's also hard to know who's really an expert, too many people claim to be experts on any subject), so I won't pretend that I know any ultimate solution. But one thing is clear. If someone is genuine pedophile attracted to kids, it won't just go away (some say that enough praying to Jesus helps, but ... erm ... lets not go there). And just because they are attracted to kids, doesn't mean they can't be otherwise good people. They themselves must know best that they are completely fucked, their prospect is holding back for whole life and never having their fantasies fulfilled. It must really suck. Personally, I'm not convinced (to put it mildly) that locking these people in prison for just downloading some images or videos from internet helps anyone.
The worst part is that the problem could be largely avoided. The real stuff will be always problematic, so I can see why someone wants it banned. But we now have all this wonderfull computer technology, which can be used to create any kind of material to please anyone, while not hurting (or better, in any way affecting) any victim. So great, problem solved, someone can just create Kid Fucking Simulator 3D, all responsible pedophiles will jerk to that and everyone will be happy. But no, instead we make laws that do not distinguish between real people and made up stuff. If I was a pedophile and knew that I could be locked up all the same, no matter if I download real stuff or just some cute drawings from Japan, what reason would I have to not say "fuck it" and care about which one is better or worse? None.
The whole thing got completely out of hand. I only recently came over this "adventure of unlucky Swedish guy" (
We're definitely pushing some boundaries further, mostly thanks to internet, which gave everyone access to anything they've ever wanted to see and much more. It's true, at least for some people, that it drives them to look for more and more extreme stuff. That's not reversible. As the great philosopher Randy Marsh once put it: "Once you jack off to Japanese girls puking in each other's mouth, you can't exactly go back to Playboy."As you can see i am questioning my own set of believes. Yeah maybe i feel we as a society have become very blase about violence, sex etc... and justify it by saying it's just a video game or movie, tv series. Everything can be explained away.
...
I ask you this, people who are caught for having **********, who does not or have not every abused a child in any form just watch videos and pictures, how do you feel about those people? Surely to them it's just fiction...
