I do. I also stand against shooting children with a gun, but I'm not rushing to ban guns either or even put a law into place trying to restrict them to accomplish such a task.
Its also not Strawman Bullshit when we already have seen things like Australia banning A-cups from appearing to stop pedos. Same with the aforementioned Uzaki manga where an adult college women was protested because she was too short to be an adult.
So is molesting, raping or filming children pornographically. Because there is a direct victim, the same way owning a gun is different than murdering someone despite that fact that it might lead to the other one.
I notice you skipped the example of a real world law being passed based based on what you called a "strawman" because you know it proves me 100% right about the abuse and slippery slope this brings.
Its only controversial because the way people want to shut it down opens it to massive overreach and almost no actual protection for the children you claim to care so much about. If you proposed bullying them, shaming them into not showing their face, and possibly killing themselves you'd get a lot more people on your side than crying to Daddy Government to do it.
Are Classical and Renaissance statues and paintings of nude children CP?
I know this sounds like an obvious "no," but there isn't a simple, non-arbitrary criteria for differentiating between loli/shota hentai and legitimate art, for the same reason that there's no simple and non-arbitrary criteria for differentiating between art and porn.
Yes, you can certainly describe what you regard as the relevant differences between porn and art, but there's never gonna be anything even approaching objectivity in that discourse, and policy-making is something you have to be a total autist about or else nefarious actors will take advantage of ambiguity to abuse the rules to their advantage.
