 Well, paedophilia is the sexaul attraction towards pre-pubescent children. So no, not all manga would be paedophile material. It's hard to draw a line but I'd say anything depicting children under the ages of 11-12 is sexuual situations is paedophile material.

Regarding your previous post (the long one), no civilized country protects child pornography under the guise of "freedom of speech". And freedom of speech should be limited, like any freedom (no child porn, no promotions of racism/misogynism/homophobia etc., no instignations towards violence, no libel), else you'l have anarchy.


So, you're taking a psychiatric view, not the standard view used in the media of equating paedophilia with child abuse, yes?

And, before I can answer to your point about using freedom of speech to defend 'child pornography', I'm unsure what you mean by that. What is child pornography in your view? Does it need to have a child involved? For example: is the aforementioned 'Lolita' child pornography? How about a historical novel set in a time where child abuse was not only lawful, but expected in certain circles? Would that be 'child porn' in your view?
