@princeofcloudcity: I hope you all take the time to actually hear me out and listen to my words. This is a greater conversation than one book and I hope we can all have that conversation. #fictionvsreality #anticensorship
anyway, fun media content aside, what's your name, where do you live, and how often are you alone?

literally illegal for csa victims to publicly name the perpetrators even if convicted

I think the book is disgusting. However I think it is up to the community to go “ew no”, and if privet companies want to remove it from publication and shelves that is in their right. The govt should

It’s one thing for the community to go “ew no” and it’s another for it to be anyone in power who can as you said *act*. Censorship does more to hide crime than prevent it.

My Gran smuggled a copy of Lady Chatterley’s Lover into Australia under her clothes. She was disappointed by the book, but not by the “moral depraviry” within 😉

as an Aussie I do hate our censorship laws. they have even attacked anime and said things that didn't even happen in a series. (not only gaming we happy few was banned for awhile because it 'promoted' drug use. which it didn't the whole point of the game was to not take the medication and go against the government.)

It's so stupid to because Australians are some of the most obscene foul mouthed humans in existence 😅 And you literally can't stop Australians getting stuff if we want it. Want a banned book? Give me 3 minutes and I can have it. 🤣

I feel like most Australians, myself included, would agree. Sadly a large portion of our government is very deeply conservative and it leads to/maintains policy like this.

i unfortunately agreed with the ban of the book and the arrest of the author, because ive been told that the author wrote "ill never see my children the same way again" at the end and was find out-

The fact that survivor’s stories are labelled as csam is so disturbing to me!

the hardest part for them to grasp is that there are no real people being harmed by writing/reading stories like that, the only line they seem to have is ‘protect children’ but there is no child!

so many darkshippers are happy about the arrest of torri woods. dont they realize that means they can be arrested too in australia?

Obscenity laws also often argue that it has to have “literary merit” to not be considered obscene, but the issue there is *how* do you determine that? Especially since ppl are notoriously prone (1/?)

as an australian, a LOT of actual csa is ignored by the law, it's basically accepted by aussie grooming victims that we will never get justice and that icky books are more important than our safety

I'm Australian and the only books I've ever seen wrapped in Brown paper like surprise book purchases. Not that I don't believe you on some of this, but also some of this doesn't make sense.

You have the common sense I wish everyone else had. We can’t have nuanced conversations like this bc no one is willing to sit with what makes them uncomfortable. You’re truly an academic, I respect u!

Australian artists, and artists in general, should be protesting/ rebelling against these laws. Throwing me in jail isn't going to stop me from creating.

It's really sad to see ppl picking up the leftist label, but fail to understand the depths of introspection and empathy needed to carry it. You can't be liberal/leftist while calling for censorship.
