NEWS: Virginia Court Convicts Man for Violating Supervised Release Terms With 'Anime Child Pornograp

Part 1 - Illustrated Child Pornography, no matter what you may think of it, is not made by harming children.

Part 2 - So the court decided to forbid even the visualization of porn involving consenting adults?

Part 3 - Possession of Real Child Pornography is really, really bad. But I do have to ask: Since he simply possessed it, rather than making it, is 10 years a penalty worth giving, rather than therapy? I don't care about the blowback or people feeling triggered by my question, I have to ask.

As for people talking about the 10 year sentence... I know someone who has the same sentence for a similar crime and can say that the punishment is worth it. But what really bothers me is knowing that this person is NOT getting any help. They're just stuck in a prison cell somewhere. I don't think there's any psychiatric treatment being given to this person. Worse off is that in a few years, this person will be out of jail and with their family having disowned them will likely end up homeless. There's no help whatsoever. There's nothing being done for these people at all. Not to mention that the sex offenders registration makes it impossible to get a job and very, very difficult to even have a place to live. Even after serving their time, there is nothing for these people. It's likely they're just going to commit the crime again, just like in this case.

When I was in England and was looking for references of gothic lolita fashion, one of my searches auto-triggered a "Just Stop" warning from Google about child pornography.

I just switched my vpn to London for a moment, but even after trying everything I could think of relating to gothic lolita fashion, I didn't find the trigger. What keywords did you use?

Oh yeah, England. Because of their unreasonable laws what the man did would indeed have counted as looking for child pornography, never mind it being mere lines drawn on paper...
