In my ever-so-humble opinion, child pornography, though it's not my bag, should not be banned if it's virtual! The children in the situations aren't real children being harmed. It would be *extremely* dangerous for the courts to decide that things can be banned for presenting dangerous/non-conformist ideas to the reader.
To ban "virtual" "fictional" child pornography because it simply depicts something society considers wrong is a horrible precedent, and can lead to banning fictions of all types. Where would this chain end ?
