He conceded that no child had been harmed in the making of the images but said that 'it's all part of that spectrum'.

So in other words, you can be sent to jail not for harming anybody but thinking you might possibly think about harming somebody in the future. It is all part of the "spectrum." The evidence for this are the viewing of digital images that depict nothing in real life. Wonderful.

I wonder why the judge, the jury, and the prosecutor weren't also sent to jail? They must have looked at the same images.

Exactly. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. And while I'm poking fun at dtm42, it's somewhat in seriousness. I'm not sure what the child pornography laws are like in NZ, but I know back in the states you can be done for child porn if you have images of children in sexual poses with the shots focused on their genitals. So if NZ law is similar to that, then just watching Photo Kano would be enough to get you in the slammer for 3 months.

This topic took such an interesting turn...

It made me realize that a lot of the (anime) shows I watch have a lot of young teenage girls in often revealing poses...:/

The most amusing thing about the show is all the girls are totally find with doing lewd poses for pictures with him as long as he doesn't show anyone else. So basically they have zero problem with giving a random guy masturbation material so long as it's just him spanking it to their photos.

Well, at least my name is not "Ronald". Not to make light of indecent assault or anything, but I'd really really hate to share my name with a clown.

Of course, it's worse to actually be a clown than merely share a name with one, he notes apropos of nothing.

OK. so I caught up on this show, and I can't figure out why I am not dropping it. And while I will keep watching, but I am not really finding anything here for me to really like.

*I am not a perv like my fellow photojournalists, I just get all the lucky breaks, like people jumping down the stairs and landing a kiss on me, and getting pushed into breasts where I grope, and doggonnit, while I am not into taking pictures just for the sexy poses, I am not above blackmailing someone to get their sexy pic. And girls ask for it from me! Say what?
Clearly this isn't a show that is plot driven or made for my particular tastes.

Yeah, I will keep watching. Rolling Eyes

I love how people force themselves to watch things they claim they don't like and then complain about watching it, like they didn't have a choice. Laughing

Can't speak for others, but I am an addict. Even when the drugs stop satisfying, I don't quit, I just take more.

The MC's characterization is totally bizarre. On the one hand, they show him doing things to thwart the Photography Club's efforts to get their "borderline erotic" shots, but on the other he blithely spoiler[blackmails the Student Prez into letting him take his own (not even really) borderline erotic shots.] Makes. No. Sense.

I would go so far as to say that in a certain respect the other Photography Club members are more admirable in that at least they are totally honest about what they are doing. MC does the same thing but then tries to front like he doesn't approve.

well at the very least he tries to get permission from the girls rather than doing it in secret.

It's partially the male fantasy from this sort of show that he's "bringing out the real person"- she's not just a rules obsessed prig, she's a sexy woman!... and she'll be oh so thankful for letting her see that in herself- oh yes.

or, he's just easily influenced- the day before, what was he doing? "studying" the gravure books he had been given.

in short... yeah, it's still pretty stupid.
