Your Daily WTF: American Puritan Edition.

[sechan19]

This is a little late, but apparently a man was convicted on child pornography charges in Iowa recently for owning sexually explicit Japanese manga.

I appreciate that we need to protect children from exploitation, but using child pornography laws to persecute people for their (perfectly natural) sexual proclivities is just wrong. (Not to mention dismissive of multi-cultural factors in this particular case.) There's nothing wrong in reading a comic book, even a sexually explicit comic book. And just because you look at a picture and think child porn (because Japanese taboos prevent the depiction of pubic hair) doesn't mean someone else did. You did. And you did because YOUR mind is dirty.

Do us all a favor and leave us out of your sexual perversion, m'kay?

I really hate the standard American view of acceptable sexuality... and the standard American tendency of sexual hypocrisy.

Ugh!
