    Similar laws have been struck down by the Supreme Court in the past under the argument that if no children are being harmed (ie, these aren’t pictures of actual children), then there is no basis for the government to restrict creation and possession of the images.

      Thats pretty fucking dumb considering it normalizes the idea of sexualizing children. Are policymakers really oblivious to how that will go?

        Does video game violence normalize regular violence? Are people playing violent video games going out and harming people.

        Can’t believe this argument is still being used in 2023.
