The
problem is that intelligent people would not do something because they
see it in a piece of media. Stupid people would. So when stupid
people say things like "it just leads to this...", they're basing it on
personal experience or the way that THEY think.
So to use
slippery slope arguments like "fictional child porn leads to actual
children being kidnapped and raped" comes from the fact they are
applying their own stunted intellect to the minds of everyone else,
which is illogical.
We should ignore these people, they have no
concept of getting into the heads of others. If a man spent his time
watching child porn, knowing he would never harm a real child, why
should we ostracise him with the law? Socially he would be unacceptable,
and understandably so, but throwing him in prison doesn't make sense.
It's
also why I have an issue with "child porn". Images of abuse are wrong
under all circumstances, so I support the drive to get rid of them, and
if you get off on those images and get arrested I have little pity. Child
erotica, where a child willingly takes part and gets paid for the
efforts (a dubious one as it's more prone to corruption and genuine harm
to a child), and the fictional stuff which is all imaginary - people
who look at those I don't see as horrible people. They're strange
people, probably I wouldn't want to meet them, but to arrest them is bad
in my opinion. |
