discussion Proud Father (Off-Topic)

After I read the incredibly bizarre law enforcement harangue about how horrible and evil the Dev was, it reminded me of how USA used to ban sodomy,
Rant over, for now...

Until 1949 in the state of Victoria, sodomy was punishable by death. It was still illegal till mid 1980`s

Because it wasn't ignored. Someone wouldn't have gotten arrested if it was ignored. Look, I know you and I probably can't see eye to eye but... is it really that blinding? I'm genuinely being concerned now. No disrespect, I promise.

Most Aussies are not creating illegal games and openly selling it, therefore it gets ignored by most people. So far no one in Australia has been arrested for downloading his game. I am trying to understand your concerns but no one in Australia is going to try change laws aimed at aimed at preventing real life child abuse. We will find out exactly how the Police got to him when the case goes back to court and I will keep you updated

Not much of a mistery on that one. His game was public because he thought he wouldn't get arrested for making ** with the game.

Anyways, the court is in april right?

I hope that Westy either gets free, a fine, or something similar. If not at least a low sentance. Dude created art for other people to enjoy which paid him for it and wanted to support him. Its sad to see a great artist being thrown into jail with real criminals and to be treated like one.

Anything less than "free + apology + making the precedent that its OK to make porn games" will still mean that he's likely not going to continue working on the game and the event may scare other developers. The mere fact in the future any other australian can be arrested for this is enough to scare many, like it happened to french furry cub artist Bunnybits.

Best case scenario he gets a suspended sentence. The law there doesn't make any distiction between fictional and real content, so he is pretty much fucked. Even if he somehow doesn't get convicted, I doubt that he would want to work on the game again. The only hope we have for the game to ever be finished is if seath finishes it like he said he would. But since he is already working on a shitton of games, that won't happen anytime soon.

What can you expect from a country that lost a war to Emus... TWICE!!

His best hope is a suspended sentence. If they catch him working on the game again then he will be looking at years inside and they will be watching him due to the fact that even if he gets a suspended sentence he will be on the sex offenders register for life. He is the first Aussie to be caught so odds are good that they will use him to set a precedent for sentencing anyone else they catch making similar games. We will have a better idea of how they intend to deal with him after the commital.

Yep, and this is why people say australia is a nanny state.

From what I've read on some chans, the case isn't the first in Australia for someone going to jail for anime and fictional characters. Hell even easy to find examples of just importing 2d girls is a fineable offense.

Everything in that country is trying to hurt you. Ever seen a koala? They look cute right? Well you better not touch them, the little fuckers have chlamydia.

Damn, Australia sounds as bad as N Korea or Saudi Arabia.

All i am gonna say is Australia's government my's well call themselves a dictatorship or a communism cause Wither the character in a game that uses pixels looks 18 or not can not prove there age cause Westy is the Game developer and if he says there 18 then they are 18 and are of age because you can not prove they are under age because they don't have a birth year unless westy says they do he created the game and the characters are the age he says they are cause he created them. So no matter what they do to try and prove they are underage they can't prove it cause they are whatever age Westy says they are. Therefore they don't have anything unless westy says they are underage which he has not because the disclaimer clearly states they are 18 therefore they have nothing on him. To prove they are underage or ever were underage. In other words Aussie PD is wasting there taxpayers money to pursue a Game dev of which they have no way to prove his characters were underage to begin with because there age is what Westy says it is. Wasting the taxpayers money to try and convic a game artist for making chilporn instead of pursuing those that are raping and grooming actual underage children where they actual have proof that they are underage. Pretty sad they would rather use taxpayers money to go after a game developer for a crime they can't prove he committed instead of going after the Real ****'s where they can't actually prove it.

Under Australian law its considered child porn not art and no one is going to try change that, due to the fear of being labeled a Rockspider . Personally I would not accuse any Aussie govt of having moral judgement, but thanks for the laugh

Have you heard of Drop Bears ? I kid you not, there are tourists that come here and believe the bullshit stories we tell them about Drop Bears

It would not matter what age he made them, creating the game is illegal under Australian law. The fact that he made money off it enabled the Govt to add another charge of living off the proceeds of crime. As for the disclaimer about their age, the games ability to change the age of the characters means the disclaimer is worth nothing under Australian law. In Australia it is illegal to create and upload any game involving violence such as Grand Theft Auto or Porn

I don't understand the Australian government.

It gets worse when people learn that the only place in Australia where X rated porn is permissible is the Federal Capital of Canberra. You can get porn, fireworks and small amounts of drugs are decriminalized
