Child pornography is bad because it victimizes the child. Manga does not victimize a child, so I find their anti-manga campaigns to be irrelevant. "Human rights and dignity" in this context sounds like a platitude.

Censoring child porn is admiral, but where will it end. Someday it might be free speech.

All porn should be banned, there is nothing good coming out of it. That free speech thing is a door for social decomposition. Porn is the same class of "fun" than crack.
