[WikiEN-l] Deleting the Lolicon picture

The most common argument against your point - child pornography is 
illegal  because real child are harmed while making it. Most Western 
nations allow drawings of child porn but disallow photographs for this 
reason.

I think all drawing that depict adults having sex with children or 
children engaged in age inappropriate sex acts should be banned from 
Wikipedia. My reasoning is that it depicts and condones the sexual 
exploitation of children. These drawing shock the consciousness of 
people that are otherwise strong free speech advocates.
