No, the rational for banning the Cuties content is because they see it as normalizing pedophilia and child abuse imagery.


I always found the "normalizing" argument to be odd. Society has never been more against pedophilia and the likelihood of it becoming "legal" or "normal" is so low as to be laughable. I don't feel threatened by fringe groups with no power, only by censors willing to exploit these feelings for their own gain.

It has never been normal and the idea it could ever be is a delusion. It is a tactic to censor content moral guardians don't like. Look at the bar of perceived "pedophilia" which keeps rising every year.
