My first impression was that he wanted to provide a counterpoint to the constant screeching about sexualization of female characters in fiction, but took it too far and decided that 2D tits and ass were TREASURES that needed to be PROTECTED. Then he made that post screaming about the supposed UN ban on 2D porn of underage characters, and I knew he was a creep.
The followup where he tries to score a GOTCHA is even worse:

Basically, a UN official was caught molesting a minor, and he goes on smug-a-thon about how such hypocrites have no right banning virtual kids when they molest real ones.
Maybe so, but it still doesn't invalidate the fact sexed up fictional kids is still fucked up, and while it arguably should be legal if only because it's not real kids being harmed, it doesn't make it any less creepy or disturbing.
Normally, I'm a staunch defender of any form of legal free speech, no matter how glorious or perverse, so long as a reasoned argument can be made for it's legality (and the whole "cartoons aren't real so long as they weren't based on real kids" argument passes that legal smell test), but Usher is the worst advocate for even that kind of position because he's the very kind of person who makes attempts to make such arguments look absolutely terrible.
