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.

There is nothing intrinsically offensive, sexual or erotic about an image of an infant or child in the nude.
There is a hell of a lot that is intrinsically offensive, sexual and erotic in the images of pre-pubescent and barely pubescent child models dolled up in make-up and skimpy clothing, and posing as pin-up girls or boys.
The hypocrisy in our society is truly astonishing.

So very, very well said. Thank you.
