And then you run into the fact that once you have a law that lets you arrest that guy for that drawing, who interprets and enforces the law comes into question. Given how many leftists are calling Pragmata a pedo game for instance, once the wrong people assume power, some of those ten who just say "kill the pedo" are going to be finding themselves against the very same wall for making or playing a game that showed a White man being a good father to a young White girl.
You make laws that let you deal out real world punishments for drawings that are fundamentally not hurting anyone, but are gross or run against decent sensibilities, sooner or later someone will be in power who says your sensibilities are the ones that are gross and will deal out those punishments to you.
We already see this happening with laws that are actually just and right. There are laws against murder that should apply to everyone, but with get a leftist judge in power, and you get White men getting life in prison while a black gets let out of jail 32 times and gets 6 months if convicted. We have laws about adults having sex with minors, and if it's a man having sex with a girl, he gets 30 years in prison, but if it's a woman having sex with a boy, she gets a year probation.
Sooner or later your "arrest a guy who drew a 30-year-old man ass-raping an 8-year-old girl." law will end up getting used to arrest the guy who makes the next Pragmata, and ironically not used to actually arrest the guy drawing the ass-rape.
This isnt really an argument of anything except pro-anarchism. Which if that's how you meant it good for you.
But if it isnt, it hold no water, it's built on the same essential foundation as "some people are intersex therefore gender is a spectrum"
Declaring that because there are Grey areas and difficulties in defining overlap between borderline definitions isnt an argument against the existence of those definition, only an observation of our failure in ability to observe them perfectly.
The 30 yo in th3 example being punished for that would be just. Declaring that injustice can be meted out by organization using justice as a smokescreen doesn't negate that.
It's a tough one, because most people want there to be some provision to arrest a guy who drew a 30-year-old man ass-raping an 8-year-old girl.
There are some people who say "drawing should always be free speech," but for every one of those, there are ten who just say "kill the pedo."
