Huh weird, none of them are drag queens...

Glad the ten men have been arrested. What they did was messed up.

charged with making written child pornography
What does that even mean?
- As ewww as that sounds, I don't get why the law sees that as an indictable offense. To my uneducated eyes it appears like a victimless crime.
  Like, I wouldn't want people who work with children to read or write stuff like that, but given that we allow the publication of novels that talk about all sorts of crimes, why should this be any different?
  So... eww but at the same time meh?

  That's why I'm confused.
  There are plenty of movies, music, and art depicting murder, torture, rapes, etc., yet they aren't considered criminal.
  Charging someone with writing CP just makes it seem like you have a flimsy case against them, and you have to charge them with anything you can think of.

Nearly every thread I see on Lemmy has at least a few downvotes, but not this one, good job Lemmings.

At least we found some pedos in the comments
- Were comments removed? Which are you referring to?

  This chain where they are saying this shouldn’t even be a crime
