What is or isn't pornography, and what is or isn't child pornography, seems to be a bar creeping lower and lower, placed there. by a self righteous few.
I probably have what some would consider an unusual opinion. I think child beauty pageants are pornographic, and the parents are pimps. A deviant bunch that serve up their own children, in furtherance of their own egomania.
However, I wouldn't consider "lolicon" pornographic, since it doesn't physically involve children. An abstract representation is not a person, in the same context that , "an IP address is not a person".
The physical behavioural outcome of reading lewd comics is determined by the individual, not necessarily the content.
The argument is the same as gun control. "Guns don't kill, people do".
Pornography is big business, whether the Holy Roman Catholic Church approves of it or not! (Come to think of it, they have their own problems, don't they? Hey, maybe the priests have gotten into the "Lolicon Hymnal", and they can excuse their behaviour accordingly).
What all that said, porn is mainstream. After being exposed to it, the great majority of people either please themselves, or have hot sex with their partners. They don't go trolling the internet for underage girls, usually just some more porn.
Keep screwing around, and let hypocritical politicians sell you a bill of moral goods, while they're off exposing themselves in Washington bathrooms, sending emails to to some would be boy toy page, banging the Mexican housekeeper, and fathering children out of wedlock, while their wife is dying of breast cancer.
That's exactly where you should look for your moral guidance, at least if you have a learning disability.
Pretty soon we'll be back to dressing like puritans, while they have taxpayer funded orgies in D.C.
