I prefer the arguments on why *this* particular instance is coming off as crass and insensitive, rather than a blanket statement on how child molestation should and shouldn't be addressed in media, because the latter opens a very large can of worms.
True. Blanket statements are tricky. I guess the only other general thoughts I have right now about handling child molestation and child pornography in media are really from BARCC's Shira - "It is an enormous, life-changing thing. And if you’re not willing to speak to how that shapes a person, if you’re not willing to acknowledge it as more than a mock-shocking blip on the radar? Don’t use it."
