@soupybabee@euphoricharu@comdost_vtuber It's the same way that deepfakes are fake, not fiction. Deepfakes create actual harm for the people targeted.
The only time a drawing is even CLOSE to CSAM is when it is modelled off an actual child (E.g., Shadman). Those cases deserve arrest.
@soupybabee@euphoricharu@comdost_vtuber It's fake, not fiction. There's a VERY imporant difference there when it comes to media.
Fake CSAM is not fiction because it uses real subjects (subjects being people) to create realistic imagery. Which, since the models contain scraped CSAM, includes data from CSAM.
@ZloNoNameSov@APArizonaTea That's the whole point of transhumanist fiction. Part of it is "Going beyond human limits", but part of it is "This guy was blinded, but was able to afford cybernetic eyes. Let's explore the social impact of this vs someone who can't afford them."
@ZloNoNameSov@APArizonaTea An example of this is "I have severe heart problems. Instead of suffering it and having the risk of a heart attack, I'll replace it with a technological heart because a heart transplant isn't an option until actual failure."
Not currently a thing, but a future consideration.
France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere
IOC should not use SRY test to determine gender of women's athletes, says scientist who discovered it.
In short:
The scientist who discovered the SRY gene test that the International Olympic Committee is now relying on to determine athletes' eligibility for women's events says it should not be used in such a fashion.
Andrew Sinclair said the SRY gene was not enough of a determining factor alone, and using it as such was an "overly simplistic" approach.
Professor Sinclair raised similar issues when World Athletics instituted a similar policy last year.
Fact: The last nine women who were prohibited from competition after failing an initial cheek swab were subjected to invasive secondary examinations to evaluate the effects of T.
This involved measuring & palpating their clitoris, vagina & labia, as well as evaluating their breast size & pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.
All nine were subsequently cleared to participate as they were found to have zero advantage, but most experienced significant disruptions to their lives during this period.
Every version of sex testing collapses under scrutiny. That’s because most sports are organized according to a strict male-female binary. Nature isn’t. It is impossible to determine sex definitively.
Even geneticist and anatomist Murray Barr, of the eponymous Barr body, requested sport officials stop using the technique. “Buccal smear testing in the area of athletics is totally inappropriate,” he wrote. “Its use in this way has been an embarrassment to me.”
The @ioc return to genetic testing revives one of sport’s most damaging regulations.
The SRY test erroneously assumes that a single gene can definitively identify sex. Yet, science has never supported that claim.
Women with DSDs may carry the gene but develop as females, just as some men may lack it but develop as males.
The @IOC is wrong to suggest that sex testing protects women’s sport.
The reintroduction of these tests does not mark scientific progress, but institutional regression.
Sex testing has not, and will not, preserve fairness. Instead, it has caused and will cause irreparable harm to countless women.

@SpookySpicez "A generation of straight mofos"
Nah, that's cherry picked to all hell. Plenty of men in this era too.
In short: This era was just as key for making gay guys and gals, even without proper representation.
@Mordography@DoctorrNick@AI_EmeraldApple The original post (that you clearly didn't read) literally outlines the problem... It's not corruption, it's the constitution. 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments.
Basically, by not following the proper guidelines, predator catchers almost guarantee the Predators get away.
Alex Rosen and his entire Predator Poacher operation are rapidly losing credibility as he continues to botch these ops and calls a man wearing an anime t-shirt of a "grown woman" a lolicon.
Civilian videos can't be used as automatic grounds for arrest, and law enforcement organizations require their own verified investigation to ensure the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments are followed. Otherwise, it would lead to constitutional rights violations.
By making these videos 'public,' it leads to pre-trial publicity overload, and defense attorneys will capitalize on it... leading to cases where the 6th amendment rights are violated, where a media frenzy compromises the trial through jury contamination.
Then he crashes out at the police, calling ORDER 66, and calling them "useless cowards". No police department wants to deal with that, and it's going to make future tips from Predator Poachers less welcome.
Alex has done this before multiple times, such as with the Virginia Beach PD in 2025, crashing out and causing issues with the case. Maine State Police in 2024 also caused a media firestorm as the police didn't arrest the predator right on the spot.... or in Ohio 2024, allegedly calling the police "useless pedo protectors" after a man was allowed to walk free after allegedly admitting to having infant CSAM.
The worst case was with Thomas Hibbard, who was arrested in 2023 for allegedly having over 1000 images and videos of CSAM. The judge suppressed all the evidence and dismissed the case in 2025 because it originated from a civilian decoy operation, invoking the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. Since the initial investigation was started from an unsanctioned decoy op, every evidence that stems from that becomes inadmissible... and is a core provision of the 4th amendment protection of unwarranted search and seizure.
Overall, what Alex Rosen and Predator Poacher do is not helpful when it comes to catching and convicting these predators. If he actually cared about the victims, he would be using or working with organizations like Safe from Online Sex Abuse (SOSA) or Innocent Lives Foundation (ILF), which work quietly with law enforcement every step of the way. No public confrontation for clout, no "public" videos, no drama, and follow strict DA and law enforcement guidelines to catch these predators... and they have a near 100% conviction rate.
Instead, the public videos poison the potential jury pool, and guidelines are ignored, leading to insinuation by the defense that illegal methods like entrapment and other tools were used to obtain the "evidence". What Predator Poachers are doing is clout/fame first, and not victim first.
The self-reported impact that Predator Poachers claim is over 200+ convictions since 2019, and the public videos create a "deterrence" effect. But the reality is that prosecutors from many of these cases have either dropped or refused them due to evidentiary reasons... specifically because most of the information gained has the exact problem of "fruit of the poisonous tree". Some of the reviews of the cases show that only 30% allegedly led to a conviction.
It also poses unnecessary risk to the victims, leads to problems of entrapment, chain of custody issues, destroyed evidence, tainted evidence, and ultimately burns bridges between them and the police, where in many cases, the predator ends up getting protected rather than the victims.
Then there are the other alleged "skeletons" in the closet, which I won't go into right now, but if Alex really wanted to protect the victims, he would be using the same tactics that SOSA and ILF uses... no public confrontation, close cooperation with law enforcement, and procedures aligning with DA guidelines so that the constituion is not violated in the process of gathering evidence.
Or else, I fear that Alex might end up getting into more legal trouble with various police departments as he continues to rack up alleged charges like harassment, trespassing, peace disturbance, etc.
J. K. Rowling is explicitly named in a red flag warning issued by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention.
It’s no longer a debate it never was a debate, or about your opinions. This is the result of your opinions. An official Genocide warning to the UK.
That is not commentary. It is in the report.
The Institute refers to the UK Supreme Court case brought by For Women Scotland and notes that the group is financially backed by Rowling. That case is then placed within a wider analysis of policy, legal change and public narrative affecting transgender and intersex people in the United Kingdom.
The report describes these developments as part of a broader process of erasure.
It points to the removal of privacy, the creation of rigid legal categories, and the framing of a group as “other” within public life. It situates these actions within patterns the Institute monitors as early warning signs, including what it defines as the denial or prevention of identity.
This is not a passing reference. It connects influence, law and outcome.
The significance is not that Rowling is the focus of the report. It is that her position is part of the ecosystem the report is analysing.
That is where the discussion changes.
Because this is no longer just about individual opinion. It is about how ideas move into institutions, how they shape decisions, and how those decisions affect whether people can exist safely and openly.
The report does not rely on rhetoric. It relies on pattern recognition.
Legal change.
Policy direction.
Public narrative.
Taken together.
That is what is being flagged.

Taking two of my horse toys at the same time cause it's been a while since I've done any DP~ 👉👈 Love this stretch~ 🤤💖
Might try three toys again soon >///<
I don’t get why the government is pushing to censor the internet “for the sake of protecting children” when parental controls already exist on most devices and networks. It feels like an excuse to regulate what the public can access rather than a genuine effort to protect kids.
@SaberToothTora From what I can tell it's an early look at each of the characters, with the Penguin (for example) becoming more of the Penguin in continuations.
There's a similar deal in the Batman VR game- you can tell who certain characters are, but they're still in the setup phase.
