But please, give me evidence that you don't know if these 100% fictional characters aren't really based on real people?
Lolwut? Some fictional characters are based on real people, including the horrible exploitative crap that residentgrigo mentioned a page or two ago. Doesn't mean that any of those real people they are based on have been harmed in any way or form during the creation process. And by fictional I mean that they are not, say, actual pictures of children (or indeed, people). There is also the thing that manga character look like manga characters, not like real people. Vast majority of people have no difficulties in telling which is which.
But 100% fictional characters are just that.. it's kinda in the term.

I already answered this. What holes? Get rid of it all if that's what it takes to protect people.
And no, you pointedly did not, until now. All your previous comments have been about protecting children. Now suddenly it's all people. That actually does make you less of a hypocrite. But then, if you really believe this would protect anyone.....

EDIT: Okay, how about this. If the main focus of the manga or book or whatever is loli / shota then it shouldn't be allowed to be published. Not banned or illegal.
How do you propose to "not allow" something to be published, if not by ban / making it illegal? I iz confutze.

Check my previous post, it's there.
I did. I wanted to make sure I'm not remembering it wrong.

Yes.
I'd gladly give up reading my favorite books/tv shows and rights if it means protecting children.

Protecting children, not people.
Edit number 54: Awesome post by duskyderp below. Opinionated, but well constucted and addressing something well beyond personal feelings on the matter. I wish we saw more post like that from the yes/yes crowd.
