For b and c you can like it or not, but given pedophilia is a sexuality that most people think deserves the death penalty, and the state 100% agrees, you’re not going to get people getting professional help. Instead, given the fact unlike even ai CSAM no child is harmed; and given all studies show that there is at worst no link between the media we see and the crimes, and at best a negative correlation, maybe just leave it.
Given how especially US prisons are formatted, it is a death penalty offense if you make something like this jail time.
So ask yourself, is seeing a drawing worth torture and death? If not, let’s not worry about it. We have actual problems. Like food. And shelter. And water.
A) this is Texas. It’s a guarantee this will be used to increase jail time for the unwanted of society that are arrested on other charges. Got an of age anime character as your phone background when you’re searched? Congrats that minor theft a racist cop pinned on you is now a felony sex crime. Enjoy getting shanked in prison.
A pt2) this is Texas, the land of the mega church pedophiles and the second largest concentration of Mormons(read pedophiles). This is not a serious bill to help children when rich religious people can rape away.
B) it’s a drawing. What age is a drawing? Police literally cannot discern age in human beings (see the little Lupe trial among dozens of others), on top of that age science in humans is pseudo science at the best of times. Everyone matures at different rates. Some people’s body aren’t done until their thirties. What age is a drawing, given there’s no standard way to tell what age a human is?
C) violent video games do not cause violent behaviors, in fact the correlation is consistently the opposite. Porn availability does not cause sex crimes, in fact the correlation is consistently the opposite. Therefore even if we accept the idea that this is VCSAM, that this is a legitimate bill that will only be used in the best scenarios, that somehow police start to divine the ages of fictional beings correctly at all times, banning it likely does more harm than good.
