Australian man convicted of possessing child sex dolls

While the sexual abuse of children is a heinous, intolerable crime, these dolls DO NOT contribute to, nor do they “normalize” the sexual abuse of children. They “normalize” sex dolls which cater to unconventional desires, which are grossly misrepresented by irresponsible reactionaries who can’t think logically or critically in issues that worry or offend them. There is no evidence to suggest that they will drive or incite further abuse.

It’s unfathomably irresponsible and cruel. The idea of civil rights doesn’t exist in a regime that puts forth unverified assumptions over the rights and welfare of its citizens.
I’d argue that treating pedophilic dolls and fiction as though they’re real is far more damaging, because rather than targeting an action, such as child molestation or abuse, it’s targeting thoughts and ideas. The restraint of the mind is not a valid means of preventing abuse, and the fact that people never thought to consider the very apparent downsides of such restraint baffles me.
Yes, pedophilia is unfortunate. But it exists, and pedophilic individuals, like all of us, have the right to explore, indulge, and express themselves in ways that are not harmful. Such things go hand-in-hand with CSA prevention.
