  • It’s reprehensible but if they’re not really acting on it, as in harming someone else (masturbation, really?), then why should it be a crime and the state be involved? What are you suggesting is that the mere thought of it, involving fictional people at that, should be a crime. Are we certain we want thoughtcrime?

    That sort of vilification only makes them more likely to hide instead of seeking professional help. Why would they, if doing so would open them to ostracization?


  • You’re actually supporting my point. Despite tens of millions of FPS players, there’s only less than one in a million cases of mass shooting. Meanwhile child abuse is more common despite loli stuff being uncommon in US compared to places like Japan. This to me seems like an argument to say there’s no correlation between the fictional and real counterparts.

    If anything, being unable to set apart reality from fiction and saying both are the same is the reductionist stance.
