For me the difference is how the material could be used. A work in which a boy is eager to learn about sex or a girl is eager to seduce her "oniichan" could be shown to a young teen to get them to think that this is normal and that they should also want to have sex with someone older. Whereas everyone knows that murder is wrong and seeing someone murder someone else in a show or movie is unlikely to be able to convince someone to murder in real life.

With that being said, I also think there is too much violence in media aimed at young people, so take that as you will.

I mean...this is a terrible argument because almost any piece of media glorifying something illegal in real life could potentially be used this way, but that doesn't justify shaming and branding those who enjoy said media privately. There are absolutely works in which murder and the murderer is glorified. They've inspired countless real life killings. Look at the Slenderman killings for an example since it's basically the same thing you're saying, a fictional character inspiring real life violence.

And yet we haven't banned stuff like that. The fact that some bad people can use works of fiction for bad things doesn't justify that.

That would have to be one sheltered kid, and one who didn't get that fantasy and reality are different.

But studies show that being exposed to violence and murder so often in fiction from a young age does lead to a desensitization to it in real life, meaning even if you know it's wrong you're more likely to be fine with doing it anyway. So no matter what side of the argument you're on, making the two things out to be different "because everyone knows one is wrong but not the other" doesn't hold much water.

agreed. it has already been used that way.
