Here's something a Q activist "discovered". An article apparently advocating to legalize viewing child porn.

On it's own, it's a bit weak. It was written 20 years ago, and it was a reaction to a new phenomena.

It's problematic in the sense that it doesn't become "okay", simply because a usage of it isn't causally linked to abuse.

If someone was viewing something which didn't involve actual abuse (hey, U.K. censors got upset over a controversial historic German band cover, although no one has ever been *arrested* for it), this article might've been more persuasive.

That said, what is with these people and their wild conspiracies...

Can't someone just be an obscure writer (seemingly a former academic) voicing a controversial opinion?

What really throws doubt on this Q conspiracy fuel though is as follows:

Despite nominally being a "leftist", he holds many conservative positions.

He is also infamous for writing incendiary pieces.

Also, The Guardian dropped his column not long after this article after running it for years.

Added more context and restructured this post because I wasn't satisfied with it.
