So the portrayal of a man having pædophilic fantasies is OK? How about the fictional portrayal of pædophile acts? How about the portrayal of pædophile acts where it is indeterminate whether they are factual or fictional. How about the portrayal of other illegal acts fictional or otherwise.
If censorship exists, the line has to be drawn somewhere - the question is, who gets to draw the line. Once you accept that a line needs to be drawn you might not always be so fortunate as to find yourself on the right side of it.

Is that just a generalised piece of vitriol or does it have a specific target?
