The only thing FBI should be concerned about is Kiddie Porn - as in pictures.

Stuff like Beastiality, Scat, whatever... how/why exactly is that illegal? I mean, yeah, to me it's sick, but whatever. I didn't think two people consenting to pissing in each other's mouths and taking a picture was illegal.

Aaaanyway... as for written word: anything goes. The stories may be perverted and flat out fucking wrong, but they're fiction. Made up. Not real. They can't be attacked, because if THOSE are attacked, then that will lead into a plethora of other non-offensive material being attacked.

For example, if a best selling novel has a character that was raped/molested as a child - would that then be pegged as "kiddie porn"?

I think when taking sides in these matters, you can't really float from one side to the next. It's easy to get everyone riled up once you start the whole "but think of the kids!!!" thing, but... stories are just stories. No one was harmed. It's fiction.

It's very dangerous and scary once the govt actually starts telling people what stories they can and cannot write, no matter WHAT the subject. You might not agree with it, and it might go against every moral fiber that our culture has, but.. you can't really tell someone "do not write about this subject."

Very 1984ish.
