The notional paedophile now dictates what we can look at

Whatever the artistic import, images of naked children are now viewed by society exclusively through a sexual filter


I am reminded once more of episode of Reboot that celebrates Enzo's birthday. The censors insisted on the removal of a shot where Dot, his older sister, kisses him on the forehead. Their reason - it was an obvious sign of an incestuous relationship.

These attitudes and decisions say more about the people making them than anything else.

No easy answers unfortunately. But there is a big difference between having pics of your kids in your photo album, and putting them in an exhibition on public display.

Haven't they stopped putting pics of kids in underwear in catalogues now? I'm sure I read something about it at some point.
