From your previous posts, I do think you would usually be a free speech supporter. That's why I think you are responding emotionally on this issue. If you ignore the specific content and really think about allowing the government to ban fictional writing, I think you might reconsider your position.

The supreme court already ruled on "virtual child porn" and they agreed that there is no child porn if there is there is no real child. That is a reasonable position on the issue.

Once you decide that fictional crimes equal real crimes, then most hollywood movies, novels, and video games must be banned.
