@cstross the European Greens had a pedo problem too.
They even lobbied for legalization.

@d1ss0nanz @cstross FWIW the pedos try to infiltrating any political party. We had quite a few of them show up to the founding meetings of the Pirate Party, and try to frame age of consent laws as government overreach.

They were encouraged to fuck off, because we knew to expect them.

@GyrosGeier @d1ss0nanz @cstross Ah, the "libertarian" type of Pirates.

@GyrosGeier@hachyderm.io @cstross@wandering.shop @d1ss0nanz@mastodon.social The deeply-loony far-Libertarians who took over Grantville, New Hampshire even tried to legalize consensual human cannibalism.

@zakalwe @GyrosGeier @d1ss0nanz I'm … conflicted: I can't see a rational argument (other than infection control, which is a food hygeine issue that we have regulations for dealing with) against allowing consumption of vat-grown human tissue. But consuming actual human bodies is rather different.

@cstross @zakalwe @GyrosGeier @d1ss0nanz «but what if my neighbor who can't afford medicine is willing to sell me his thigh as food? Why would the government prohibit that?»

Apparently in addition to the Torment Nexus we also have to remind that Delicatessen was not, in fact, an instructional video.
