NEWS: U.K. Man Sentenced for Prohibited Images of 'Manga' Children

Wait...a law was passed that regulates morality. That's 100% of all criminal law. I don't see any issue whatsoever. If such behavior is not acceptable to that society to the degree that they criminalize it, then that individual partakes in the activity to his own risk.

Sort of an idiot really, unless he wanted to make a statement. Although I'm not sure the statement, "We should be free to draw children's sexual acts" is a very good one. Sort of depraved. I'm sure someone is going to suggest that the current moral guideline is actually unfair and prejudiced, but that of course is a moral statement, so I don't know where that gets you. Maybe your moral view is somehow more right? I disagree.

Perhaps instead of looking at the issue in the sense that the law is hindering freedom of expression, one might wonder if this individual is expressing anything other than a sickness of the mind. If so, shouldn't we be glad he's stopped? I certainly don't need to see what he's drawing, and I'm fairly certain nobody else does as well.

Probably a touchy subject for the UK as a certain pedophile rights group gains ever more attention AND public support. Did you know they're trying to get the public not to use "pedophile" anymore? They want to be called "minor-attracted people" and have it declared a protected sexual orientation. The UK Guardian published an entire feature story on how pedophiles should be treated as normative and pointed to research that claims there's no evidence to support that adults having sex with kids is actually damaging to the kid in any way. Can you blame a judge for taking action in the midst of a literal uprising of demanded acceptance?

Who is this organisation? The militant peadophile orgainsation Millipead?

I doubt there's any public support for such a cause. If it even exists. The whole thing reads like a Daily Mail diatribe, whipped up to anger the middle classes.

It is difficult today, after the public firestorm unleashed by revelations about Jimmy Savile and the host of child abuse allegations they have triggered, to imagine any mainstream group making anything like such a claim. But if it is shocking to realise how dramatically attitudes to paedophilia have changed in just three decades, it is even more surprising to discover how little agreement there is even now among those who are considered experts on the subject.

Funny enough, I was just reading some high-school trap hentai will I saw this article.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should get rid of laws that ban harmless actions/are nothing more than censorship.

And isn't this the same country that used to have countdowns to when a female celebrity turned 16 so she could pose nude on page 3 of The Sun?

Are you seriously advocating the concept of thought crime? Hahaha oh wow

Also there's no correlation between liking loli/shota and being a pedophile, much less pedophilia and child sexual abuse crimes.

Last time I checked, drawing is action, not thought.

Are you suggesting there wouldn't be a strong correlation between pedophiles and looking at child porn?

I'm not even surprised anymore. Thought crime will be coming in for a lot more than this in the near future .

It's gonna happen people...

Being a smart ass will get you nowhere kiddo. Also if what you drew equated to ones desires, then there are a lot of broken hearted hentai artists who are probably dead from the inside out from the anguish of never being able to shoot out half-liter loads every 5 minutes.

Well good thing that lolicon hentai isn't child pornography then, huh?

You argue it's harmless. That's quite an opinion. Such a blanket statement with NOTHING to back it up. Why do you think it's harmless? What if he is hurting himself in a psychological sense by continuing to draw these images? What if someone else sees these images and these become an outlet by which to relieve a perverse sexual pleasure? And then what if that sexual desire is allowed to fester and grow?

1) sexual activity and the propensity for violence are not the same

3) all media slowly, but surely breaks down moral boundaries till things become more acceptable.

2) I'm sure there's not been a study for the people partaking in these images

Here is the clear harm to society (unless you think such behavior is okay - and then yikes),

and it's what people call the slippery slope. I'm certain they passed the law to prevent that, and it's a darn good argument. Primarily because it tends to be true.
