Title: Rurouni Kenshin mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki charged with child porn possession [Mod edit: READ THE OP]
Reason: This user was banned for 1 month for defending the act of pedophillia after a similar case of being callous towards rape victims
It's hard for us to understand the amount of restraint and self control necessary to keep one from indulging one's own perversions. Can you honestly say that if you were a pedophile (remember, it's not a choice) you would manage to go your entire life without ever even attempting to watch anything? It's a fairly obvious assumption that it is no easy task, surely. It's the only reason I actually understand the somewhat lenient laws regarding possession of CP. Distribution makes it much much worse, but possession by itself is somewhat understandable, even though it is highly reprehensible. It's a difficult subject to tackle... Read above. Not saying anyone should get a pass, but let's maybe cool our engines, this isn't as black and white as you're making it out to be, unfortunately.
