All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVII

[Bob Schroeck]

I'm hoping that we can take another look at this ban later, once the immediate knee-jerk response has died down. I know that what the "Won't Somebody Think of the Children" crowd say isn't always what really is.

Agreed.  I only learned about this when I saw Geth's lockout in Recent Changes, and went to Wikipedia and a couple other sources to find out what the big deal is.  I think calling it "child pornography" based on a poster is not only premature but (as Rob said) nothing more than knee-jerk reaction; from what I took away from my reading, this doesn't sound any more extreme than the various "baby beauty contest" shows a few years back.  It's just that it's not about nice white American 11-year-olds with Southern accents, which as we all know are automatically wholesome, while anything by foreigners featuring Ambiguously Brown children is automatically filth.
