    4.1 Illustrated and Computer-Generated CSAM

    Stopped reading.

    Child abuse laws “exclude anime” for the same reason animal cruelty laws “exclude lettuce.” Drawings are not children.

    Drawings are not real.

    Half the goddamn point of saying CSAM instead of CP is to make clear that Bart Simpson doesn’t count. Bart Simpson is not real. It is fundamentally impossible to violate Bart Simpson’s rights, because he doesn’t fucking exist. There is nothing to protect him from. He cannot be harmed. He is imaginary.

    This cannot be a controversial statement. Anyone who can’t distinguish fiction from real life has brain problems.

    You can’t rape someone in MS Paint. Songs about murder don’t leave a body. If you write about robbing Fort Knox, the gold is still there. We’re not about to arrest Mads Mikkelsen for eating people. It did not happen. It was not real.

    If you still want to get mad at people for jerking off to the wrong fantasies, that is an entirely different problem from photographs of child rape.

        What does that even mean?

        There’s nothing to “cover.” They’re talking about illustrations of bad things, alongside actual photographic evidence of actual bad things actually happening. Nothing can excuse that.

        No shit they are also discussing actual CSAM alongside… drawings. That is the problem. That’s what they did wrong.

      Oh, wait, Japanese in the other comment, now I get it. This conversation is a about AI Loli porn.

      Pfft, of course, that’s why no one is saying the words they mean, because it suddenly becomes much harder to take the stance since hatred towards Loli Porn is not universal.

      Okay, thanks for the clarification

      Everyone except you still very much includes drawn & AI pornographic depictions of children within the basket of problematic content that should get filtered out of federated instances so thank you very much but I’m not sure your point changed anything.

        If you don’t think images of actual child abuse, against actual children, is infinitely worse than some ink on paper, I don’t care about your opinion of anything.

        You can be against both. Don’t ever pretend they’re the same.

                ‘Everyone but you agrees with me!’ Bullshit.

                ‘Nobody wants this stuff that whole servers exist for.’ Self-defeating bullshit.

                ‘You just don’t understand.’ Not an argument.

                  Okay, the former then.

                  Let’s just think about it, how do you think it would turn out if you went outside and asked anyone about pornographic drawings of children? How long until you find someone who thinks like you outside your internet bubble?

                  “Nobody wants this stuff that whole servers…”

                  There are also servers dedicated to real child porn with real children too. Do you think that argument has any value with that tidbit of information tacked onto it?

                    Ask a stranger about anything pornographic and see how it goes.

                    This is rapidly going from pointless to stupid. Suffice it to say: stop pretending drawings are ever as bad as actual child abuse.

      Oh no, what you describe is definitely illegal here in Canada. CSAM includes depictions here. Child sex dolls are illegal. And it should be that way because that stuff is disgusting.

        CSAM includes depictions here.

        Literally impossible.

        Child rape cannot include drawings. You can’t sexually assault a fictional character. Not “you musn’t.” You can’t.

        If you think the problem with child rape amounts to ‘ew, gross,’ fuck you. Your moral scale is broken, if there’s not a vast gulf between those two bad things.
