Desecration laws exist to protect the sensibilities of a community. The hypocrisy is people believing their sensibilities should be protected but other peoples shouldn't.......cause their nasty Christians......and that makes the DA evil for pandering to them. That seems to be the position of many on this forum.

Consistency is achieved by acknowledging that other people might not have the same sensibilities as you and it might be right to protect those sensibilities because they are widely shared by the community at large. Another way to achieve consistency is taking the position that any desecration that doesn't involve property destruction should not be criminalized.

So where do you draw the line? Do Star Wars fans get to imprison George Lucas for the prequel movies? Do I get to press criminal charges against the producers of Sword Art Online for how terrible that series got? There's a lot of fans of either of those things, what argument could you produce against that that wouldn't also ensnare Jesus statues?

Once you start allowing desecration charges to be placed based on perceived disrespect to fictional characters, where do you stop, and why? Because what I think is that you're special pleading, here.

Last, I am not arguing a different senario. We are talking about desecrating but not damaging physically....an inanimate object that some people hold dear. I am changing inconsequential details of the senario to point out other people's hypocrisy. That hypocrisy being "no physical harm to the thing you hold dear....no prosecution.....no physical harm to the thing I hold dear....doesn't matter....you desecrated it and should go to jail."

You have completely misjudged what the argument is about, but that's hardly surprising, at this point.
