Your argument is specious.
The total addressable market for heroin and cocaine consumption is demonstrably high. Kiddie porn demand will never reach this level, and hiding a sex slave in your house is difficult.
- nandemo 17y agoFunny that you say that. In Japan there's a whole (legal) industry that would be probably classified as "kiddie porn" distribution in US. It's certainly bigger than the local cocaine and heroine market.
- biohacker42 17y agoWhat's legal in Japan creeps me out, but what's illegal in the US is often silly.

- sketerpot 17y agoThe UN's obscure subdepartments can demand, but Japan doesn't have to comply. And considering the size of the market for hentai, I don't think it's going to go away any time soon.
