Cross-Cultural Question in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

A few years ago; it became public knowledge that Australia banned Pornography featuring women with breasts smaller than a C cup. The reasoning behind this was, officially, that pornographic material depicting woman with smaller chest sizes encouraged pedophilia. Obviously debatable; but the takeaway was that Australian Government felt that pedophilia was a significant enough concern to do what they could to stop pornography that might encourage those proclivities.

Just discovered… Legoland Melbourne will not allow Men over the age of 17 into Legoland if unaccompanied by a child. It is to the point where some men have filed Civil Rights Arguments with the courts in Victoria.
Legoland has stated that such an action is being done to protect the children that attend Legoland. And that there are Adults Only Events in order to allow Lego-loving adults access to the park.

But what strikes me… going this far to prevent men from “having access to children”… I have to wonder
(1) Is pedophilia really this much of a problem in Australia? Because… what I’ve listed above… makes it seem like Men in Australia love them some little children
(2) Is the government/private sector trying to score “easy PR points?” Because… there aren’t many people who would see “tough on pedophilia” as a bad thing
(3) Is there a long history in Australia of pedophilia so that, despite whether the concern is present tense, there is a historical necessity approach?

Or is this all… just crazy and out of left field?

Cuz… I have to admit. Banning “small breasted porn” seemed like a stupid way to stop pedophilia stuff. There are women between the ages of 18 and 110 that have all different sized breasts. And there are women between the ages of 12 and 17 that have C breasts or larger. So… seemed silly.
But added to the Legoland Man Ban? Really just… makes me wonder if there is an issue.

I wonder if the statistics would show any trends ?

But a woman of any age can enter Legoland? What kind of restrictions are in place for porn that attracts women to prevent pedophilia?

As a small breasted Australian, that is a bunch of bullshit and I was furious about it at the time.

Hadn't heard of the lego one and am rather confused... :/ If they're that concerned about paedophiles then they should be closing down church institutions with all the evidence our royal commission has so far...

I didn't even know we had a Legoland in Melbourne. Will add that to my list of things to do next time I'm there.
I also hadn't heard about that pornography thing but I guess I'm not paying much attention to that sort of thing.
