Children masturbate. Censoring it doesn't do any good. Talking about it is perfectly healthy. We're not Puritans.

Censoring it does no harm either.

Taking away rights is a harm in and if itself. Deprivation if liberty is bad. This shouldn't even be something I need to defend on a site dedicated to exactly those ideals.

Are you seriously advocating the sexual portrayal of children in media? Found the pedo! Take that pedo shit back to your synagogue. Or just kill yourself, that works too.

I'm seriously advocating freedom of expression. I also regularly stand up for Nazis to be able to speak freely. Free speech is, in my opinion, our most important right. Take your censorship ideals and pack them. Free speech for one, free speech for all. You don't get to decide what legal content can be put on display.

Oh look, I spotted the pro-censorship Puritan!
"Make it stop, mommy! Make it stop!"
Fortunately, you're powerless. You're also dismissed.
Edit: Oh, you're new here. I suspect you're just another shill and unable to think for yourself.
There, now you're dismissed.
