Okay? I'm not a lolicon but I still think arresting or jailing people over fictional smut is a slippery slope to more extreme censorship

Sorry for reposting this comment but
Does anyone have any source for this info?

I'm not going to claim any of these are credible in any way, but there are a few articles like this one discussing the alleged arrest and tweets allegedly made by her representative:

There's also a few Reddit threads with some questioning whether she actually was arrested or if it's just a trick, citing things like criminal policies in the UK that don't add up with the situation such as the claims of her being let out on bail or still being allowed to post online (albeit SFW-only material):

Not going to go too deep into this rabbit hole to try and confirm anything and I know jack squat about British law anyway, but even if she wasn't actually arrested, it doesn't change the fact that laws with a wide reach like this are extremely dangerous.

man, UK is becoming Orwellian, and the thought that some director did butchered his Animal Farm, he probably be spinning in his grave right now.

i like the like purposeful obviousness of coming to one of the 2 only posts under there character tag you can see right now through search, going to a sfw charater sheet and going "this is why?!? unfair!"
and defiantly not things like how they have multiple commissions towards PeachYP alone you can find here among many others.
but ye lets pretend this doesnt go any deeper and the UK is gonna be knocking on like houses of everyone with a Paimon poster on their walls or somthing.

He'd be spinning in his grave so hard that the kinetic energy generated could solve the energy crisis

The point still stands; it shouldn't be illegal to draw any of that stuff, period.
