Texas Senate Passes Bill That Could Criminalize Owning Anime, Manga & Games With Loli Characters
The Texas Senate has unanimously passed a bill that, if enacted into law, could potentially criminalize the possession of anime, manga, and video games
You're viewing a single thread.
so its not even about sexualizing children, but even just containing children at all is forbidden now?
The bill, which seeks to amend Chapter 43 of the Texas Penal Code by adding Section 43.235, defines an offense as knowingly possessing, accessing with intent to view, or promoting obscene visual material containing a depiction that “appears to be of a child younger than 18 years of age engaging in activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B)“. The activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B) refer to depictions of sexual conduct.
It really depends how broadly it's interpreted, but it is about sexual depictions of children.
Luckily, Texas is known for its reasonable interpretation of laws. /s
in that case it seems fine to me
How far should we take this? If someone labels the drawing below with "age 17", is it time to call the cops?
if you draw childporn, then yeah calling the cops would be perfect
I've just never seen any good argument that there's harm reduction in preventing drawings. To me it makes as much sense as banning drawn child murder.
