That it is about pedophilia. I think some subjects should never be turned into art no matter what the idea behind it is. But I happen to have very strong opinions on this because of family abuse. Now I don’t think it should be censored either, but the “artist’ should know better.

It’s important to turn bad things into art. It’s the whole basis of morality plays, it’s an opportunity for society to reiterate its values, it’s a reminder to the audience that evil exists closer than they might think, it’s a reminder of how easy it is to get sucked into evil. Now if there are some bad things you don’t want to consume as art that’s OK, but to rule out bad things as a source of art is to forget what art is.
