The whole thing's overblown. Personally I don't care either way if the subreddits stayed or went, but come on -- there were people arguing that an otherwise innocuous image of a child doing childlike things is child pornography when viewed with sexual intent. Really? It's demonstrative of the total mental retardation people descend to when talking about serious problems like child pornography, and it's the reason why bills like COICA (and its 2012 reincarnate whose name escapes me) are going to prove so dangerous. As soon as anyone mentions "child porn," all critical thought goes out the window and anything can slip by under the guise of protecting the children.
