It's been proven time and time again you can't legislate morality. Neither can we effectively legislate thought crime. One person's brutality is another person's orgasm. There is no effective way beyond socialisation and education to break those patterns of abuse.

Toby, the argument could be made that any and all content puts a performer in that position. Indeed, the Dworkin feminists HAVE made that argument.

So... What's the solution in these cases? An entry test for performers/ managers/ shooters? Who writes it? Who determines what an acceptable level of "mental stablility" gets the passing grade?
