"Readers around the globe have been devouring Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the long-awaited fifth book in J. K. Rowling's blockbuster series of youthful wizard tales. They might not know, however, that a surprising number of Potter fans had already taken matters into their own hands, writing and distributing stories that put Rowling's famous trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione — as well as every other character mentioned in her books — into situations that are often romantic, sometimes homosexual, and occasionally pornographic... What Liza wants to see, and therefore what she writes, is 'slash' — relationships, often sexual, sometimes graphic, between two characters of the same sex, nearly always two men... Slash and pornography are not one and the same. There are Potter website slash stories that are rated G, where, say, Harry and his best friend, Ron, do nothing more than look longingly across the room at each other. And there are non-slash, heterosexual Harry Potter fan fictions that are rated NC-17, and deservedly so... [But] Scratch the surface of a few slash sites online, and it doesn't take long to find tales of bestiality, rape, sexual torture, and Weasley twins sodomizing each other." — Boston Globe Magazine (US)

wtf???!

erm whats that for a crap?

Isn't that the most messed up thing you've ever heard!

Also I find it very disturbing that many of the very young members of this forum are into this, and think it's innocent and fun, when clearly it is abusive and taking liberties that should never be taken.

Also the slash fan art is wrong, not because they show homosexuals, but because they show 15 year old minors. It's CHILD PORN.

I wouldn't count it as child porn as such. I don't think... I only class it as child porn if it RL children taking part(or being forced to). I think it's better that they use fictional characters rather than real people. But yeah, it is disturbing that younger people are into it... How young do you mean?

Yeah I would class it as hentai, i dunno it just doesnt seem as wrong as child porn to me.

It's more like yaoi than hentai.

But I think anything involving underage character having sex is child porn, I think most slashers don't want it be known as that because then they might actually feel some remorse for what they are doing.

13 year old girls say things, and post link and pictures. On this very site, check out the Fan Art thread, as well as Tom/Draco, "If you hate Harry/Draco, do not open".

Whether the characters are real people or not, it's just as wrong. I hope these sickos get hunted down by the FBI and severely punished. Don't think it won't happen, people on my college campus have been dragged away by the FBI in the middle of the day for shit like this.

O.o i didnt click on the links 😆 i just read that what ya posted 😉

O.o i am twelve and posted in do not oopen if ya hate harry/draco 😆 is that so mad? 😆

That's wrong on so many levels.

You are 12 years old you should not even be thinking about sexual relationships at your age. You should be having playing with dolls and kicking boys in the shins, not thinking about sex and reading smut.

This is exactly what JK didn't want to happen. She was so incredibly right to denouce this.

In the US people's parents could be arrested if someone let it get out that they are letting their children have access to pornography.

hrhr...
i wont think of, mother haha 😉
pleaze dont tell me what i have to do 😉
haha i know younger girls who have a boyfriend 😉
i havent got a boyfriend i dont want any, just want tom, haha 😆

I'm not telling you what to do.

Maybe in Germany what you are doing is okay, but in the US it's against the law.

Hw old are you squeaky?

21. I'm a junior in college.

Why?

uhuh... there no laws in germany in which age yer allowed to have boyfriend 😉

boyfriend is one thing, having sexual intercourse is quite another.

In the US you have be 18 in most states.
Ins ome 16 or even 14. But in EVERY state pornography featuring persons and/or characters under the age of 18 is ILLEGAL.

If someone has sex with someone under the legal age, they can be arrested for statutory rape. Menaing that the underage person is not considered mature enough BY LAW to make the choice whether to have sex or not.

she meant look at porn. It's not, depictions of people kissing isnt classified as porn anyway.

i am not porno and that stuff, what do you think 😉
it's just erm, funny to imagine draco and harry 😉 cuz they're nemies 😉

Thig is, Candy's in Germany, so she doesn't have to obey American laws.

"she meant look at porn. It's not, depictions of people kissing isnt classified as porn anyway."

unless they are nude or there is implied nudity.

😉 i dont look at porn at those stupid stuff 😆 but it's nothing against gay guys *lol*
it's not porn to imagine draco+harry (i think 😉)

German Sexual Conduct Laws. ENJOY

1)It is completely illegal to have any sexual contact with, or to take, distribute or
possess 'pornographic' pictures of, any person aged under 14.

2)Above this age it *may* be possible but only with many restrictions, especially if the
young person is under 16.

3)Only when a person is aged 18 (if not mentally or otherwise impaired) are they
completely free to make these decisions for themselves without interference from their
parents or the State.
