. . . is indefensible?

I am turning into Mary Whitehouse or the Professionally Offended or something but saw, on another message board, an animation of a cartoon bear ejaculating onto a real child - even as I type it I can see it is possibly a ridiculous thing to object to, but it was grim. It was very obviously not real but the idea made me feel sick. The image was removed fairly quickly but, and I know I actually do need to get out a bit more, would it bother you gentle members of the MN jury?

thanks, I feel hypocritical as someone who once named herself BrutallySodomisedByAGoat but children ?

it's definitely a sign that I need to find a replacement activity/outlet that isn't internet based

Report the image tot he police and delete your history - in fact ask the police (in writing) how to make sure the image is not on your hard drive.

Pictures like that are classified '5' and can lead to 10 years in prison. You do not want your PC inspected for a perfectly legitimate reason and that image to be found somewhere in a cache file - hence the put it in writing to the police.

Yanbu at all! Where on earth did you see that?! Who on earth would come up with such an image! That's vile. I agree, report it and they need to call-up
Who did this. Where was it?

YANBU. Your user name had nothing to do with "kids", however that gif did. I'd report it too.

I am suprised you even ask!!!! err no shit. what site was it, sweet jesus

brutallysodomised!!!!! TERRIBLE NAME!!!!!

Sorry but I think that people who are offended by cartoons need to get out more. The thing about a cartoon is that no live human being was harmed in the making of it.

Melpomene · 19/02/2012 10:23

Because the OP said 'real child' I read it as meaning that the bear was cartoon but superimposed on a photo/video of a real child. Is that right, OP, or was it all a cartoon?

porcamiseria · 19/02/2012 10:59

solid, are you joking? some cartoon could be cat 5, but as they are a cartooon you say does not matter? COME ONE!!!

solidgoldbrass · 19/02/2012 11:49

I don't think it matters. People draw pictures and write stories about all sorts of horrible things, in a variety of contexts and for a variety of reasons. I do not think that any depictions of anything that are made by drawing, painting, writing, computer manipulation of existing images, should be banned.

Birdsgottafly · 19/02/2012 12:03

Well luckily enough any images of any sort that show children engaged in sexual acts are banned across the EU and in the US.

OP you were right to report it. It is not a subject matter that should be regarded as fair game for "pushing bounderies".

MitchieInge · 19/02/2012 13:19

yes cartoon bear, real child

it was on a very small, private community of friends - I'm usually the one posting offensive things and getting told off so I was shocked at my own reaction and felt more than a bit hypocritical but it was such a horrible idea and I wonder who the children were and if they or their parents know? It was really difficult to gauge how and why it might be funny, or why anyone would even think of pretending to jizz on a child?

for context it was on a thread discussing a tv show about compulsive masturbation

Mitchie you are absolutely right that image sounds absolutely disgusting, whoever created it cannot be right in the head. Solid no people should have artistic freedom what they shouldn't have is the right to create images that are incredibly offensive, possibly illegal or involve children in sexual images. Would you allow your own (real or theoratical) child to be used in such a picture? You cannot compare photoshopping eyelashes in beauty ads to this.
