Ban All Porn With Any Child, PERIOD!
In the most recent batch of internet class lectures (#9), we talked about everything from Adelphia XXX, to defining what snuff is. There was one minor topic that really got me thinking and a little upset. That was the United States Federal government ruling on hacking/computer animated porn.
Specifically what got to me was what they said about child pornography. They ruled that since a cartoon depiction of a child, isn’t really a human child, that it’s not illegal. If there is one thing we’ve learned about pornography and the internet, it’s that technology is a driving force and is increasingly powerful and coming up with new ways to push the porn industry. Which led me to my next point of, when is it illegal? With all the new technology, computer animation is continually looking more and more realistic and thus could create an even more life like child shown in videos. This is the way that porn is going, maybe not just yet with children, but adult porn is being created with programs to simulate sexual relations that may or may not be done in real life. Photoshop is being used to manipulate film and pictures to accomplish somebody’s fantasy. If that is done with a child, Is it child porn now? Is it then illegal? I feel this is a very important subject and should be taken at a more realistic and respectable angle. I personally feel that even if it is a cartoon child engaging in sexual relations, that it should be illegal to distribute and view. What could possibly come out of the viewing of this as something positive or beneficial? To me, it could just led to a sick person being motivated to carry out an act.
I’m sure you can tell how much I’m against child porn by now, but how do you feel? This topic is a sore subject in today’s society and needs to be addressed to help our children in the future.

[…] In lecture #9 it was mentioned on the United States Government’s ruling on hacking and computer animated pornography. CyberUB mentions in their post that the “cartoon depiction of a child isn’t really a human child; therefore it is not illegal”. Cyberporn’s argument is that “if there is one thing that we’ve learned…it’s that technology is a driving force…when is it illegal?”. Fantastic point. I think what really grabbed me about the post was the argument of photoshop, a program that I use frequently as an art major. You can, in fact, use photoshop, illustrator, macromedia flash and the like to create very life like depictions of children in sexual acts. You can make these “children” look just like any child, your neighbor’s kid, your own child, you name it. If someone were skilled enough to do this, and to place the “child” in a sexual situation, how could that possibly be legal? Fantastic post with a very valid argument. I totally agree with this argument. I am, of course, against pornography that involves children, rape or animals and always will be…I do think that this topic should be further evaluated and further considered by the public. Perhaps we need to argue with our legislature to strengthen these vague laws. […]

I think you make a few excellent points in your post. First of all I totally agree that cartoon pornography is absolutely disgusting. The fact that all of the characters resemble young children is disturbing. In my opinion cartoon pornography that depicts children as the characters should be illegal. Chil porn is illegal for a reason. We must protect our children from anything that would have negative affects on them. Children and pornography do not mix and then never will (legally).
I can see anime porn having a positive effect on society though. I would much rather have some disturbed person get off watching cartoons than actual children. No one is getting hurt with cartoons. The question is, do these cartoon porn films lead people to want and desire the real thing ie. (children)?

[…] Ah yes, the critiquing of one’s blogs as the first grading period comes to an end. Well, I’ve actually enjoyed writing these blogs. They actually get you to watch and listen to the lectures. I don’t have any classes, nor do I work on Wednesdays, so this has been my unofficial day of blogging and the viewing of our class lectures. However, this blog is my opinion of my own blogs and what grade I should receive. Well since I strive for all “A”s, then I should start from there. The requirements are as follows for an “A”: To receive an A, the student must demonstrate clear originality in thought and presentation, and must be willing to be creative, as well as compelling, in their presentation. The A blog becomes more that just another student voice; it is a source of learning for the whole class, including the instructor. The “B” blogs should link to additional materials. Perhaps most tellingly, it will attract the attention of others in the class and of those outside of the class. Also, the “C” blogs should be free from grammatical errors and spelling errors. In addition, the entries should have a clear thesis, a strong paragraph structure, and provide some form of evidence for the claims or arguments presented. The student demonstrates a good understanding of the materials presented and has obviously formed an informed opinion. You should also be posting three times most weeks. Well if you start from the “C” grade blogs, I’ve definitely followed those guidelines. My blogs are free of errors and have evidence that I do understand the topics addressed in the corresponding lectures. As for the amount of blogging, every week I’ve posted at least 3 times to go along with my added comments. For the “B” grade blogs, I’ve always tried to add links to other blogs as well as to corresponding websites in relation to the blog. This blog even got the attention of other students and I think was a point well made. I feel that my blogging is an “A” grade. The previous blog, was creative, and I felt it could be a learning tool the whole class could use. Not just to educate the readers on the issue, but as a way to motivate them to perhaps seek alternative ways to make legal changes in our society. It would, at the very least, make people think about what they feel is appropriate and what should or shouldn’t be changed. All my blogs show my strengths of understanding the topic, and commenting on them in a well rounded blog. I feel that I emphasize what I’m trying to get across in a clear and original presentation. What I could improve on, is adding more comments to other’s blogs and show my own opinion in a stronger fashion. I feel that in my previous blogs I’ve gotten out what I’ve wanted to, but I would feel better if they were read more by others, and commented on. I could also come up with better blog titles for my blogs. Although, I do like the way I’ve done that so far! I liked the title of this blog, but maybe I only get my own jokes, oh well. […]
