I'm just saying, police investigation of fiction creators and readers for the content of their fiction is way over the line of a lot of social and political norms.

(Also, I think you'll find that police abuse children a lot more than pervy fiction fans do; so really, who should be investigating whom? Investigation into crime is supposed to start with evidence that a crime actually occurred — not with your personal disgust towards someone's reading matter.)

You're really going to great lengths to ignore what I've been saying, and instead responding to whatever strawman you find most convenient.

Now you've moved onto, "why should police investigate pedophiles, when they are the real pedophiles. In fact, the pedophile fantasy users of the site should be investigating the police".

I mean, do you even hear yourself?

I hate torture-porn movies like the Saw series, but a lot of people are fans of them. Should I worry that those people are likely to commit kidnapping, torture, and murder? Should I advocate that the makers or watchers of those movies be investigated for kidnapping, torture, and murder — without any evidence that a crime was committed?

We don't send the cops after people for liking murder stories, theft stories, industrial sabotage stories, or treason stories. We shouldn't send the cops after people for liking stories of Harry Potter getting fucked by Severus Snape either.

I think you should be more careful to distinguish fantasy from reality. Most fiction readers and writers have no problem doing so.

Strawman, strawman, strawman.

Even when I reiterate that we're not talking about passive consumption of media, but active participation in something else entirely, you can't help but ignore that, and continue lobbing out fallacy after fallacy.

Maybe you should reread my original comments, and see why your comments have been so pointless, bordering on disingenuous.

So you're into sending the police after the writers, directors, and producers of the Saw movies, but not the audiences?

I dunno man, that's still too fascist for my tastes, but you can keep fantasizing about it. I promise I won't try to send the police after you for your perverted fantasies of state power.

You don't understand what you are talking about. Legally or otherwise.
