It doesn't fucking matter, it's still disgusting. Are you actually defending child porn?
The question you should be asking yourself is 'Why do we care about stopping child porn?' The answer is 'Because a child gets hurt to make it.'

This is a good answer. Child porn is inexcusable, using child porn as an outlet for impulses is still a crime because you're still passively hurting children.

The problem is, and not swerving this topic off course, that people conflate this and some sacred notion that any material portraying the depiction of sex between children is Wrong and should be illegal. The most healthy thing to do would be to legalize purely fictitious child porn such as erotic literature, art and animation. Certainly these things are gross and repungant and because of that, we want to make the argument that they in some way act as a gateway drug to real child porn or even child rape, but the weight of evidence swings decidedly against that.

Of course Cameron et al don't care. They want a pristine and mentally hygienic Victorian society with strong moral values at the expense of personal responsibility and freedom.
