So, I accidentally read a pro-paedophilia journal article. Masked as a radically liberal argument, Abigal Bray seems to have essentially arguing that by de-criminalizing and removing the taboo of the sexualized child, we are reaching a more Utopian, intellectually liberated society. She says that child sexual abuse (csa) is accompanied by 'moral panic' that is closed off to artistic progression. She seems to argue against, and generally ignore, the victimization of child sexual abuse. Personally, as a very liberal person, opposed to general censorship, etc. I still found this argument abhorrent, ignorant, and pretentious. There is a line, period, that should not be crossed. Art should not be at the expense of other's safety. Allowing the sexualized child to be a prevalent image in society opens the door for so many other horrific things (snuff films, increased tolerance of crimes). Allowing children to engage in sex with adults should not be seen as artistically progressive. I had a hard time reading this (I basically could not finish it) and it made me quite angry. People who are against the sexualization of children in media are not dim wighted, puritanistic, conservatives. Unfortunately, the use of this article for my paper is not at all valid- and I've just spent the last 45 minutes angrily highlighting this disgusting propaganda.
