Time for a bath

Amy Rose Posted:

Really? how do you do that? Can you actually inhale and exhale simultaneously, or do you just do a bit of each in turn?

For truly epic lulz… try immersing your whole head and then just give it a few…

AM I TOO LATE TO QUOTE SOMEONE WHO SAID IT WAS THE BEST BAN EVER IN ORDER TO FEEL I BELONG TO A SOCIAL GROUP AND FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY PATHETIC LIFE?Log in to see images!

Man, you said it.

Seriously.

The last place anybody should go for some sense of validation-by-group is an Internet game. But with some of these people here…

I have genuine concerns.

On the other hand, it might just be a phase they’re undergoing.

Just to let you know: Hobo’s ban was indeed done by a mod (me), but only after I consulted with someone who might go to jail. ET said to ban.

This isn’t a judgment call over something which doesn’t have legal ramifications, like the judgment calls we make on shock pics. So I left, and will continue to leave, those decisions to the people who could be affected by them. They’re not legal experts, so they err on the side of caution.

If YOU aren’t a legal expert on what constitutes child pornography in Canada, then your opinion doesn’t matter, because it’s just an opinion. Three hundred non-experts can say it’s okay, but that means nothing in the eyes of the law. So the poll is meaningless, and no amount of discussion should have any bearing on their decisions regarding this matter.

EDIT: Ninja’d by JB!

This is actually a very fuzzy area of the law that is under constant change.

(Note that I said ‘under constant change’, not ‘under constant development.’ )

So much so… That, as legal relations go, the opinions of NON-experts matter more than you might think, and the opinions of ACTUAL-experts matter less than you might think — and the ratio would vary considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Even so… With my law degree as my soapbox, I’ll say this.

FW Z hasn’t anything to worry about.

Even that picture that Wylin posted — a douche-move on his part — won’t have legal ramifications in any but the most warped courtrooms. (PRO-TIP: The judge and the district-attorney you get, and on what day, can have a large impact on the outcome of any given set of legal cirgreat timesstances.)

As for drawing the line… I have a suggestion.

Most everyone’s seen that by now. I tend to unleash it on the new players for a quick laugh and pretty much every time I do, the newcomer gets a good chuckle and does feel welcomed.

Anyway, my suggestion is that the picture embedded in my link above? As a general matter, embrace it as one — possibly as many two — notches below what should be axed-on-sight. It’s a fuzzy guideline of course, but I think in practice it would work out well.

Even content that does go two or three more notches above that would not entail legal ramifications.

Above that level, I won’t say.

Profuse discussion aside, I think the Mod-team did a good job handling this ultimately. Log in to see images! (view post)

See, I thought it was tasteless and crude, but I hadn’t really thought of it as skirting CP any more than the idea text automatically would. I can see how the combo might feed into the fantasies of a paedophile, but any number of innocent images can do that too, and I’m a little concerned that we, as a society, are starting to to automatically sexualize images of children out of fear that someone, somewhere, is going to sexualize them.

There’s nothing you can post to the net that some perv, somewhere, won’t fap to, and it’s a little disturbing to think that normal people should be required to think like a pervert when judging imagery. Paedophiles are disgusting, and I don’t want to get inside their heads.

Likewise, although the abstract sexualization of minors is damaging, CP laws were originally enacted to protect children from sexual abuse, not to prevent pedophiles from finding any pictures they can conceivably jerk off to. The idea was to defend children from the damage caused by being forced into sex and sexual activity, but the net just keeps widening.

Yeah, it’s skeevy to think that your kid’s picture is turning on some dirty old man, but if a proud poppa really wants to YouTube a cute video of his kid singing and splashing in the bath tab, I’d like to think the standards of a healthy mind should take precedence over those of a paedophile.

Yet, I know a proud pop who took a 15-second cellphone vid of his kid splashing in the tub, posted to YouTube as he had so many other vids of his kid, and found it taken down in minutes as a ToS violation, while he was left wondering if he’d been flagged as a paedo. That’s not healthy – it’s letting the life of normal people be dictated by disturbed people’s skewed perceptions.

It’s late, and I’m probably getting off-topic here. Feel free to mod-edit this down to the first paragraph if necessary.

That was well-written.

Props.

Also, I’m unsure if you were provided the customary FWZ greeting:
