Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics

Posted by kdawson on from the at-least-get-the-age-right dept.

mdwh2 writes "Graphic artists, publishers and MPs have condemned the UK's Coroners and Justice Bill, which will criminalize possession of sexual depictions that appear to show someone under 18 (the age of consent is 16 in the UK), as well as adults where the 'predominant impression conveyed' is of someone under 18, and even if they are merely drawn as being present whilst sexual activity took place between adults. The definitions could include Lost Girls, Watchmen, and South Park. The Comic Book Alliance has launched a petition against the law."

    You're partially right. Religion = incest, rape, murder, and genocide (and don't forget about rampant sexism in general). Fuck getting rid of literature. Get rid of religion! Illiterate tribes in several countries still manage to have crazy beliefs that cause physical harm to those in and around their community.

    That sounds furry to me. The sentence is death by crucifixion. Next!
