          The point is that porn is consensual. A child being abused or manipulated into production can’t consent.

          The argument is that the use of “porn” implies that it’s as acceptable as regular porn, that it ligitimizes it.

          Which is absolutely ridiculous. Only a pedophile would see “child porn” and think it’s just another perfectly acceptable category of porn.

          But some SJW think tank probably got a grant and a few professors got published due to this.

          My guess is that the churn in PC terms is similar to the way software companies always have to release an “update” or “new feature” even if their product is working perfectly fine: people need promotions, and big initiatives make them look good, and they nope out to another company before the negative effects can be seen, so future employees who are stuck with the stupid unnecessary change get the blame for its failure.

        Thank you for educating me. I hate the constant churn of PC terms. It makes communication less effective, doesn’t help the problem in the slightest, and actually hampers solutions. I hope I’m not alone in this.

          What you’re doing here is thinking your feelings are facts. You need to back up what you say with facts not feelings. Common sense is a feeling, it’s not an objective truth in the world.

            Okay, let’s reverse your logic. Can you point to a study that points to a positive effect of changing “child pornography” to “csam” that would justify the effort of re-educating the public at large to this new terminology? Because if there isn’t, there is no reason to change. It’ll just divert effort away from solving the problem.

              You’re assuming that I must take the other position because I called out your position.

              They have reasons for theirs, you have reasons for yours.

              But here you are again, another post, saying the exact same thing with nothing to back it up other than your feelings.

          You are not alone, but in many spaces, especially those dedicated to fighting child porn, going against the hive mind means being accused of being a pedophile. Even for something as trivial as the term being used.

          It’s such a toxic space.
