    The problem is no doubt amplified by such suggestive and explicit material online.

    No doubt…? Actually, I do doubt what you’re saying very much… Is there anything to back it up?

    Do you honestly believe that there is no difference between sexual roleplay between consenting adults and sexual crimes? If so, would you also argue that violence in media contributes to or causes violent crime?

    This strikes me as little more than a puritanical justification to regulate what other consenting adults do in the bedroom.

      I don’t understand why so many commenters are removing the child victims from this situation and pivoting to “consenting adults”.

      The petition does not aim at what consenting adults do together. It concerns the production of pornography and it’s consumption.

      Whether via sexualisation or simply memeification, it does frame school uniforms and school girls as sexual objects. Male peers of schoolgirls have easy access to such materials too.

      We already know how easily psychological associations are formed (see Pavlov’s dog). But whether a child or an adult, making such a psychological association with schoolgirls and their clothing is surely “unnecessary”? There is an infinite amount of sexual material already available.

      Give the children what they want. You won’t notice the difference.
