Can't you hear "them" saying, "Well, those heathen pagan computer
worshiping nerds are looking at pictures of women defiling themselves
with carnal relations with animals. Can't you just imagine what they
do in private with their little computer thingeys."
It, in a typical person's mind, is a trivial line between child porn
and animal porn. To be identified as part of a group of people that
routinely pass pictures of women having sex with animals makes us
so much more easily identified as part of a group of people that
secretly pass kiddie porn... why else would we be so involved in
encryption... just look what we send back and forth in public!
Guilt by association is unfair, but very prevalent especially with
the news media's influence.
