		<description>Jodie, I don't mean to gainsay your point of view, or to suggest that you are an unconscious victim - but I think these sorts of things are simply so pervasive and subtle that we don't easily recognize their influence. Of course it isn't explicitly teaching you to feel fat, etc.; but it is inculcating you with the morals of a culture that very much wants to do that to you. That, I do know something about, since I've been watching it for about twice as long as you have.</description>

		<description>I totally, do NOT agree with what you are proposing, im 14 years old and play miss bimbo. This so called 'awfull' site is a GAME, we know this and the playing of it has never in any was made me feel to 'fat' or feel unhappy with myself or affected my self confidence. You don't actually know what your talking about...</description>

		<description>"Political speech" does not mean "speech by politicians". I already said that I don't agree he should be censored, but in relative terms I find censorship of his speech less abhorrent than his site - I'll just repeat myself for clarity, there.

As to whether he's doing less damage by 'virtualizing' bimbos: 'Virtualization' does not erase the impact on our mental space, since we still have the same amount of exposure to it. As a feminist I don't accept your argument that pornography is responsible for a decline in the rate of rape, as if masturbation and rape are somehow equivalent and substitute for each other, and I doubt you could provide any evidence to substantiate it anyway, even if you could name "some social scientists". I'm not sure how your substitution argument works, in general - little girls now decide that, instead of becoming bimbos themselves, they will just play one online? WTF?</description>

		<description>Did he force any girls to act like bimbos? No. But the legislators forced him to take down his website. He even used the term "bimbo", which is not considered flattering and would not persuade impressionable youth into thinking it desirable. And why should political speech be more important than regular speech? Like most people I don't vote. I think politics is a waste of time, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Non-political speech concerns the issues near and dear to me about my life rather than what Senator Suchandsuch had to say about Governor Soandso. Is it okay to prohibit sodomy or miscegnation because the act is apolitical?

On a final note, it might even be the case that by virtualizing bimbos this man has decreased the percentage of real-world bimbos, just as easy access to violent imagery and pornography has coincided with (and is believed by some social scientists to be at least partially responsible for) declines in homicide and rape.</description>

		<description>I disagree. I'm not a fan of slippery slope arguments, and I'm not a free-speech absolutist. That notion is most appropriately applied to political speech, which this is not. So, although I agree with you that legislators should not be banning the site, their sin is nowhere near as vile as what he's doing.</description>
