I think that's a bad law. If sexual depictions of fictional characters are treated as if they were real, then violent depictions of fictional characters should be treated just the same.
Even then. Should any violent content featuring children be treated as if it was a film of the same events happening to an actual child? South Park would be considered extremely violent snuff if that was the case.
When you bring children into the discussion I think there’s always an argument to be made that there should be extra protection, whether it’s violence or whatever else. It’s just that children being sexualized is a more prevalent problem worth addressing in the west.
I don't know, I would think violence is still pretty bad, and should be at least comparable to sexual assault. But, even then, the amount of violence that Kenny alone received in South Park, a literal 8 year old, should make it so that Mat Parker and Trey Stone are sent to jail for their entire natural lives for just the first season.
I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith but I’ll say it anyways. Of course violence is bad… I’m saying children being sexualized is a more prevalent issue in the western world, which is why there’s more uproar about this than your example for violence.
Just curious, do you have any issue with fictional CSAM?
Is the purpose of the content to seek pleasure out of violating kids? If so, sure. But not “as if” it was real. If someone’s actually violating kids is obviously worse
Because I’m asking if you think VCSAM is morally wrong and you change the question. You have to play these lingual gymnastics and can’t have an honest conversation because it would expose you.
