Comments on: Defining Deviancy Up: The Red Rose Conviction http://pendorwright.com/2008/08/12/defining-deviancy-up-the-red-rose-conviction/ Quality science fiction and fantasy erotica since 1989 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:52:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Suntiger http://pendorwright.com/2008/08/12/defining-deviancy-up-the-red-rose-conviction/comment-page-1/#comment-407 Suntiger Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:09:53 +0000 http://pendorwright.com/?p=65#comment-407 While I also understand why you did that, it depresses me that you had to; personally, it sounds like I would have enjoyed the social commentary, and Falbert is right, the US should be above that kind of thing. Good points here. Sadly, I don't really know what any of us can do to alter the perception that interacting with a child not related to you after a certain age makes you a creepy pedophile - if there is anything we can do. Come to think of it, that attitude probably isn't very good for the children those who hold it are ostensibly trying to protect... it would tend to isolate them, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry that you feel that you had to do this, Elf. You shouldn't have needed to, in the United States. Unfortunately, while it is tempting to blame "the government", I don't feel that it is justifiable to do so. A handful of people, at most, are at fault here, starting with the procecutor and the presiding judge. It is my sincerest hope that this does not set precedent, or that if it does, that appeals courts will overturn. Indeed. I’m sorry that you feel that you had to do this, Elf.

But I understand it too. I gotta wonder, when are they going after the writers of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit? I really hate that you felt you had to censor yourself. But I understand it too.
