Simpsons Sex Scandal

- Start date
At the risk of tipping my hand sufficiently to be banned for my horrible potential depravity, this matter has often crossed my mind as well. I'm into Japanese Anime, and I'm afraid I may have become somewhat infected by the influence of the Lolita fixation influence of prominent in Japanese culture that often shows up in their sexy cartoons.
I have no intent to sidetrack children (or even teens) in real life - it's just not honorable. However, I have to wonder, should my computer be impounded, the cache plumbed by a bit-recovery agent, and racy young anime heroines in various states of undress and/or violation recovered, would I be held accountable? Is it genuinely pedophilia to have thoughts of arousal, which will not be acted upon, directed at arguably ageless drawings?
Granted, Bart and Lisa might be a different story. They're really quite obviously prepubescent, where your average anime heroine who the story claims may be 10-years-old is drawn with a body that would make a college coed jealous. But you have to wonder if John McEwan was getting aroused by lewd Simpson imagery or just thought they were funny.

From the psychological studies I've read on the nature of sexual deviancy I have to disagree with you. Yes its good that people are convicted, but this guy should not have been.psico666 said:
"Pedophiles" I am defining it as anyone who is aroused by children are just the extreme end of a youth fixation, and we are ALL attracted you youth. There is some thinking that you cannot actively control your sexual kinks and preferences, they're ingrained in your psychology.
Granted certain Pedophiles are dangerous and there are extremely valid arguements as to why pornography of that variety is illegal (the people in them are being exploited etc etc harm is done etc etc not debating that, it's wrong).
However in this specific case it's like saying "You are all murderers because you all have the potential to murder! Hence if you play violent videogames YOU ARE A MURDERER because you enact it over and over again."
No thats not what im saying, I'm saying that it's good that the goverment is cracking down on pedophiles but this is a bit far by arresting somebody who is looking at a cartoon of two characters who may be 8 and 10 but is actually harming nobody. At the end of the day its just a cartoon.
It could be argued that the characters bart and lisa has been around for more than 18 years.
But seriously, if this is child pornography then Tom and Jerry is animal abuse!

I think this whole case was set up, just so people could report it, and have a picture of Homer next to it say D'oh!
Actually reading the full link was quite interesting. With respect to the Commonwealth and the New South Wales, their legal definition of "person" did include fictional characters even if they are not realistically portrayed. So this is how the Magistrate made his ruling.
The case was not about whether he was hurting anyone with his particular habit, but it's the discussion of the letter of the law.

But...but...*nobody* was harmed by it. Granted, it's a rather odd taste, but I thought the point of such laws was to prevent harm and exploitation of minors?
All of these articles coming out of Australia make me want to visit less and less.

Well there goes 99% of Hentai.
Thank God.
Though it probably shouldn't be illegal, since no one's being harmed, gross as it is.

I don't know what Guro is, and I don't want to. Seriously, some people have the most bizarre taste imaginable.Indigo_Dingo said:
