Save the Porn!

[piasharn]

I can't believe this. A man is being sent to jail because he sold an adult comic to another adult.

Umm... how in the world did this case get off the ground? Can someone help me out here?

"This is in a store directly across from an elementary school and it is put in a medium, in a forum, to directly appeal to kids. That is why we are here, ladies and gentlemen. I want to re-emphasize that the fact that all this smut is out there, does not mean it's acceptable and is decent by our community. We're here to get this off the shelf."

When have all comics been made for children? I think most of the ones in the North American market have been aimed towards guys in their late teens to early twenties. (Us gals always get the short end of the stick. Thank the gods for manga.) And so what if it's across the street from the school? My old school had a store next door that sold alcohol and cigarettes. Your point is?

And I like smut, damnitall! Besides, I'm a legal, consenting adult. Don't take my porn away from me!

Is everyone ignoring the most impotant point here? Censorship! And not just any censorship, but we're talking censorship discrimination! Let me break it down for you. As a 'child' (yes, I'm 14; yes, I'm a girl; yes, I read slash that's rated NC17; what of it?) it's alright and encouraged for me to be oppressed by so-called 'morality'. If I want to pollute my mind with dirty thoughts and gay porn, that's my perogitive, (perogative?), and if 'adults' are entitled to limit my access to new ideas and opinions (even if the are 'indecent' and 'disgusting') that's ageism! And then that leads to gender barrier issues, which is a completely different rant! Urrggh!
