Sweden: “Loli Manga is Child Pornography”

precocious-schoolgirl-by-rustle.jpg

Swedish courts have upheld the child pornography conviction of a manga fan for possessing loli imagery on his computer, ruling that deviant art and imagination is as much a crime as actual child abuse.

The 27-year-old manga translator was previously charged with possessing child pornography based on loli pictures police found on his PC after raiding his home.

He was convicted for possessing 51 images, none of which featured actual children, and was subsequently fined.

He appealed the decision, but the court rejected his arguments that entirely fictional 2D material could not constitute child pornography.

The court did however decide that only 39 of the images constituted “child pornography,” and reduced his fine accordingly, from 26,000 krona to 5,600 krona ($850).

Sweden’s feminist-conceived sex crime laws are some of the harshest in the developed world, with definitions of rape and sexual harassment bordering on misandry, and anti-prostitution laws which criminalise buying sex whilst making selling sex perfectly legal.

This was recently highlighted in the case of Wikileaks honcho Julian Assange, charged with rape for allegedly not using a condom in a consensual sexual encounter.

In spite of these laws, crime rates in Sweden continue to increase, being some of the highest in Europe (although it has been noted that almost half of all crime in Sweden is committed by immigrants or their offspring).

Even with all these real crimes going on, Swedish authorities apparently feel the need to create additional fictional crimes and victims – although at least they are consistent in this regard.

    you can be charged with child porn in any modern country for having loli hentai. depends on the judge, how much you spent on your lawyer, and the law general laws. hell canada is getting fairly bad now as well. i would assume USA is not far behind. its getting to the point where they try to find reasons to lock people up.

    What about the the publishers of that novel "Lolita"? Vladimir Nabokov can't be jailed or fined anymore. But the translators and publishers should, right? I mean, the main character of the book call himself a perv, and fall in love with a 12 yo girls, and we got lots of fantasies about him fucking her, and them sexual favors exchanges, and sex between a mid-aged man and a girl.

    What about dat femifacist Sweden? What about dat?

    Why stop with manga? Anyone who possesses a movie where people gets killed should also be charged for being an accessory to murder. People who watched any of the Bourne trilogy should be charged with accessory to treason. Anyone who plays C&C or StarCraft should be charged with war crimes and for breaching the Geneva conventions.

    Isn't it about time we started charging the publishers, the manga-ka a.s.o. for creating the manga? I mean, reading about things you couldn't have thought up or done yourself is milder than having the devious mind needed to create the stories, isn't it?

    The first one to charge is obviously Ishihara.

    I know that some places that lessened or got rid of the law like some places for drugs, ironically reduced the amount of people doing the act. But you can't just have this law lessened or gone, its pretty much saying "ok guys we turned our backs, have at it" NO ONE wants their child to be raped, kidnapped, abused or what ever else the criminal would do and then only get a slap on the wrist or nothing at all. It only threatens the safety of the child, and the people would hide their children in fear.

    call me unreasonable, but I would never let the law lessen or be dropped if I had a child there.

    And that is exactly the problem. While other laws are considered reasonably, as soon as pedophilia is even mentioned, people get rednecked and stop thinking. When it gets to children, emotions rule. And no politician can say a word against it without ruining his career. Ending up with a law that says that if you watch a drawn picture of a character that could be considered by someone to be of age lower then 18 and of sexual nature, you commit a crime. (yes, seeing it is enough apparently)

    Can you really not see how absurd that is?

    This isn't a law to protect children, this is a law to banish something someone didn't like.

    CP laws should be changed from "possesion is illegal and you are a abad person" to "by having pictures of a child being abused you are intentionally keeping evidence of a crime from the police, you are an accomplice to this crime"

    with loli no crime is happening, plus if the laws changed that way then the punishments for real CP could be more serious, and teens texting nude pics to each other wouldnt be getting labeled as pedophiles anymore.

    "When it gets to children, emotions rule..

    100% truth over there. Ironically, that doesn't really apply equally the same over other kind of child cruelty such as violence, bullying, mental abuse, child labour, poverty etc. compared to what it is on sex; it seems these moralfags are trying to stress out that sex is the king of all evil. One thing I realised is when I loiter around meme base sites eg. Comixed; whenever someone make a joke about killing kids, ppl over there go like "OMG! WIN!" but when someone just make a paedophilic joke (unless you put the overused meme pedobear), all of sudden the majority of all the people over there transformed to typical caring soccer-parents.

    And I would not want to be killed, would not want my property to be stolen etc, however, all those laws are considered and made so that they are more logical. You need to have evidence to put a thief or murderer behind bars and a mere accusation, if the person is later acquitted does not mean that he is a thief/murderer/etc. There are also laws that lessen the punishment if the death was an accident (someone who runs a person over in his car because he did not see him gets a lesser punishment than someone who intentionally runs the person over (or just stabs/shoots/etc him dead).

    OTOH, with child pornography, a mere accusation is enough to ruin somebody. If you have a picture of a naked kid in your computer, even if it is in the browser cache after you visited 4chan, you will be ruined and will be punished (by law) the same way as if you intentionally downloaded it.

    Also, while criminalizing possession of a picture is stupid, it can be kind-of rationalized by saying that if there was no demand (nobody wanted to look at the pictures) there would be no supply (nobody would abuse the children to produce the pictures) either. However, as no children are harmed in producing a painting (no matter how realistic) or a 3D rendering or a kid, possession, distribution and producing should not be criminal (well, as long as you do not violate copyright). It is criminal only because some people do not like it.

    @ 18:39
    Did I say that people should allow the law to get out of hand because of a fear? No I did not. I agree with you that going crazy and and saying any picture with a drawn child is just their ignorance and emotion taking charge.

    And as I stated before, the countries allow drugs to be used freely, spend their attention on the drug lords, and provide help for those who want help does dramatically lead to much lower rates of drug use. While countries that make is stricter like Australia and Sweden ironically has higher rates.

    But (as I clearly did not explain correctly earlier), its not the same situation. I doubt there is some pedophile lord trading child pornography over there. IF they treated it the same way, then the people would get emotional just like i did and would not want it lessed as such. (and get labeled as moralfags by the internet)

    IF they want to drop the crime rate, they have to go at it appropriate to the situation. If they offer help or at least private consolation to the people who want help that would surely lower the crime rate. If they say child pornography is legal to do, then it will do the opposite as I stated earlier.

    i don't know the details on the subject over there, but it obviously is not an easy subject to debate. You can't simply say to lessen the law by only basing it on how low this country has their rates with drugs.

    Even us MoralFags can be reasonable.

    No, it shouldn't, Anonymous 02:49. The REAL thing that should be done is to legalize child pornography, having sex with children, etc. and SIMPLY FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE WHO PHYSICALLY FORCE CHILDREN INTO SEX!

    To be blunt, most relationships between adults and children ARE NOT RAPE (speaking as someone who had sex with adults as a child and liked it, and WOULD have sex with children today if it was legal!).

    They are just as much consensual encounters as those between two 40 year olds.

    Pedosexuality is being used as the new 'boogie man' now that homosexuality has been declared legal by most countries around the world.

    Once pedosexuality is accepted... they will look for something else to marginalize to distract people's attention away from the problems that government and powermongers in the world are causing.

    Anon 13:07...new boogie man...wise words you are writing. But powermongers of the world want to use violence to keep their positions, because it is easier to terrorize people to resurrect their free minds with rough violence & sick laws than sexuality.
    So ppl are educated to praise violence and to fear that kind of sexuality they do not have experience of, or even think calmly and rationally about it.

    My sexual preference is big, voluptuous 25-50 year old women with big, yet firm boobs topped by large areola and long stiffening nipples and great pussy with large long lipped labias.

    I like cute lolis in anime & manga as funny persons, though, like Chiyo-chan, Sasami, Nagi Sanzenin etc. .

    Not only that, but wouldn't having more acts criminalized lead to more crime in general? Since the definitions are so strict, it inflates the crime rate, then the people fall into hysteria about crime and want even tighter laws...

    Sad.. Just sad. Apparently you can force through anything if you just yell pedophile loud enough at anyone who opposes you.
    Laws should punish crimes, crimes have victims. This borders on punishing thoughts. Should we start sending people to jail for wishing someone dead as well? Or for drawing pictures of imaginary people getting killed? We'd end up with most of the world in jail..
    My thought on the matter: Protecting kids from abuse is all well and good. But if you, in your quest to protect victims, create new ones, you become unfit for the role.
