So you're essentially pro-thought-crime persecution. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you meant "I want to see child rapists in jail too, […]". A pedophile does not harm children just by being a pedophile or by being attracted to them, they only harm them when they abuse them.
I agree, however, with the rest of you post.
- Zak 17y agoYou have a point. I don't really like the idea of thought crimes, however, to create child pornography, real children have to be sexually exploited. Consuming such content encourages its production. For what it's worth, I don't think things like child pornography that don't involve actual children should be illegal. Stories, cartoons and photoshop jobs don't involve any actual victims.
- die_sekte 17y agoYou certainly also have a point. I think it would be nice if child pornography could be produced by computer simulations and pedophiles thus would be able to feed their addiction without causing harm. Being able to focus the available resources on treating actual child abusers would be nice.
