I am very liberal when it comes to pornograhy, but when children either real or animated are put into this subject, is where I draw the line!  In lecture 9 it was discussed how the United States says virtual child porn, is not considered child pornography or illegal.  Give me a break people-that is weird and totally disgusting.  That statement seems extremely backwards and really makes no sense.  Pornography is used to turn people on, wheither it be real people or animated (which looks pretty real to the watcher).  Using a child’s shape and body is being put out there and designed to do just that-turn the watcher on sexually, This is gross!  People (men or women) who watch this and get turned on- who says that this won’t pervoke a person to want the real thing?  Many people want to experience for themselves their fantasies and what turns them on.  This can be dangerous, and I really think that this should be payed more attention to, and looked at on more of a serious level!  It is proven that nobody understands pedifials and why they do the things they do to children, so don’t you think that viewing child “animated” porn could pervoke an already sick individual?  http://incestabuse.about.com/od/inthenews/a/sexoffenders.htm
