The only people we really hear from on this issue are the ones who don't like the written underage smut. (I'm avoiding the use of the term "kid porn" or anything similar, as the specific terminology seems to be a hot-button for many.) We get a lof of people saying "Well, it's not my thing, but censorship is bad." and "I don't find it erotic, and people who do kinda squick me, but I'm not going to say it should be banned." in addition to the "We hates it! We hates it, Precious!"

Now, there obviously *are* people who like it, read it, and write it. Why aren't we hearing from any of those people? Is it because they're scared they'll get jumped on? Or are they worried about more long-term consequences, like damaging friendships, getting the cold shoulder in the future, legal consequences, things like that?

I, frankly, would like to hear from all sides of the issue.
