A man in Britain has been convicted for his fantasies.
Robul Hoque, 39, was found guilty of downloading "prohibited images" of cartoon girls, some in school uniforms, doing dirty deeds. The fact that these manga drawings are available on legitimate sites did not sway the judge. Nor did the fact thatoh yeahthere were no actual humans in the pictures.
No humans. So how old, exactly, is a cartoon? Is the cartoon 7, or 9, or just shy of 18? Trick question: A cartoon doesn't have an age, because a cartoon is never born. The life meter never started ticking.
If owning or admiring the mere drawn image of something illegal is grounds for sentencing, wouldn't we have to sentence anyone who goes to the Louvre and parks himself in front of Ingres' Odalisque? That there's a concubine and bigamy is against the law. Move on to the Mona Lisa or you're under arrest!

You can’t make this stuff up
My thing is Cherubs. ..
Asinine law.
I can go to any museum and see paintings of naked everything or marble statues of the same.
This guy may very well be a pervert but, he is objectifying.... well...an object.
My real thing the Venus de Milo.
Ahhhh! So beautiful! So statuesque.
And that she has no arms is just...exciting.
Nike of Prometheus? I could stare at her all day.
And David, at the Louvre. What a body.
I also have a fetish for a certain statue set atop a spire of melted cannons. So Napoleon in its likeness and right in the center of Place Vendome. Hence my nom de jeur.
Lady Justice? LOL. That babe can really balance those scales.
Dont get me started on Degas Ballerina.
It’s a sick, sick world, I tell you...
I have to say I’m against this law, as weird as this guy might be if he has naked anime children on his computer. It’s a drawing. Could he be arrested for doodling something like that?
A friend of line has made the point that, the way US law is written, if you paste the Gerber baby’s head on a Penthouse centerfold, you could be convicted of producing child porn.
Kids get suspended for drawing pictures of guns.
Doodling is fine. Themz stick figures...
Hell yeah...you’re a horrible human being. /s
Someone should draw a picture of a 2 by 4 and then smack this idiot with it
Big Brother at BigGuv is busily creating more make work jobs in the sex regulatory arena - for all those fast food industry rejects which TSA refused to hire.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Touche’
That would become a Clue by Four...
Draw a picture of Mohamhead in Britain and see what happens.
“Could he be arrested for doodling something like that?”
Only if he doodled it in public.
IIRC, that’s been litigated in the US. No-go. Artists’ conceptions do not count as kiddie porn.
Whatever the legality issues are, the guy is definitely ONE SICK PUPPY
there are sites that use copyrighted cartoon characters for porn, they might have Lisa and Bart going at it or Homer and Bart.
I don’t see why the copyright holders would allow this.
Isn’t this particular crime called “Cosplay” in the U.S.?
