MAP Forum

Definitely. And it's not just legislators who think that way, either. The entire conservative movement, along with sex-negative feminists, is putting pressure on lawmakers to pass more restrictive laws. Many news outlets covering legal cases involving such material have been calling it "cartoon child pornography" or "anime child pornography" for decades.

Finding good ways to safely advocate can be difficult though, so it is hard to say what change may occur.

My worry is that those MAPs will be content with fictional erotica, and perhaps child love dolls, being legal, and won't ever push for further reform regarding youth rights and AMSC.

The reason I'm afraid of that is my own experience as a young activist. In my teens, I focused entirely on defending "obscene" fiction and opposing other forms of censorship. That was compatible with a strictly anti-contact, assimilationist stance, which I now realize was inadequate in many respects, if only due to being an inevitable cause of self-loathing and ego-dystonia for me, but also and most importantly because the current system is harmful for children as well in many ways.

Of course, making sure that fictional erotica involving children is allowed and protected by law is still much better than the alternative.

One of my “favorite” articles:

AFP Detective Sergeant Aaron Hardcastle said the investigation had been significant as it marked the first time police had located and seized AI-generated child abuse material in Tasmania.

“Child abuse material, is still child abuse material, no matter what form it takes,” Det. Sgt Hardcastle said.

“People may not be aware that online simulations, fantasy, text-based stories, animations and cartoons, including artificial intelligence-generated content depicting child sexual abuse are all still considered child abuse material under Commonwealth legislation,” he said.

“Whether the image is AI-generated or depicts a real child victim, the material is repulsive and the Tasmania JACET Team, along with the AFP and its law enforcement partners, will continue to identify and locate those sharing this abhorrent content and put them before the courts.”

Note to media:
Use of term 'CHILD ABUSE' MATERIAL not ‘CHILD PORNOGRAPHY’

The correct legal term is Child Abuse Material – the move to this wording was among amendments to Commonwealth legislation in 2019 to more accurately reflect the gravity of the crimes and the harm inflicted on victims.

Use of the phrase ‘child pornography’ is inaccurate and benefits child sex abusers because it:
- Indicates legitimacy and compliance on the part of the victim and therefore legality on the part of the abuser; and
- Conjures images of children posing in 'provocative' positions, rather than suffering horrific abuse.
Every photograph or video captures an actual situation where a child has been abused.

They don’t even realize how smooth brained their takes are. Putting their ideas together:

“Every photograph or video, including online simulations, fantasy, text-based stories, animations and cartoons, captures an actual situation where a child has been abused.”

I would be a serious offender in Australia because I divulge my fantasies privately to others, among other fiction too. I am glad I do not reside in Australia, the UK, or have any plans to visit either. They are absurd there in criminalizing, and going after, pure fiction. How much money have they wasted in their misguided crusade against fiction?

Loli helped me to realize what I like and it did not corrupt at all. I fully believe pedophilia and other attractions like it is always present and not caused by mental illness or the mind being warped. Loli is fiction therefore it should be 100% legal at allow people to let out their fantasies no matter what it is as long it's drawn its all good

Bad, it keeps people from being radicalized and allows them to live in the fantasy that “in totally not a map irl dude I just like fictional cunny” LIES
