I think they do, and I think your analogy is unfair. One could argue that
tyranny, evil, and oppression are unavoidable in this world-- to defend against
such is both honorable and necessary. To me, *that* is where TLC focuses their
attention in their "conflict" themes-- to *defending good against evil*. There
is nothing wrong with that.
There is something very wrong with portraying MF in the above manner in question
(and something *very* wrong with whomever did it). I am all for freedom, but
with freedom comes *responsibility*. What has been done is irresponsible and I
understand TLC desire to disassociate itself from it (whether they will be
successful or just add fuel to these sicko's fire is debatable).
Society has a vested interest in protecting its youth from such destructive
elements (and people). Violence much be eshewed as well, but there is a fine
line WRT teaching children about good and evil. There is no such line when it
comes to the topic of sex and children. The very definition of a child is one
who hasn't knowledge of such things, and presenting it to them forces their
childhood from them, which is, in my mind, evil.
