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 that—oh yeah—there 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!

Why couldn’t the guy be like 10% of the males in the USA and fantasize about Wilma Flintstone (the cartoon version)?

Alice, you're the greatest.
You make a good point.
Yes, he is.
When my friends and I went to Italy some years ago, we say Pompeii, of course. Our guide showed us an old Roman version of porn: a phallus sculpture in one of the temples.
Porn started a LONG time ago. It probably ALWAYS existed, child porn as well.
When I went to Greece, I kid you not, every single curio and souvenir shop sold penises out the wazoo. It was/is a veritable obsession there I guess
I was in Greece some ten years ago and didn't see that. But, then, being female I probably wouldn't would have to LOOK for penises; the penises would be looking for me, so to speak.
He should’ve said he was a Muslim.

Sounds painful.

Were they preserved in a jar....?
Oh’ you mean fake penises...
Well I guess I shoulda been more specific. There were phallic things everywhere, from key chains to statues to ash trays, etc. All venerating that marvelous apparatus.....
