ahhh... we also know sexual abuse and csam is bad and punish it as so too. CSAM is bad because the creation of such amount to child abuse, moreover it is because children CANNOT consent. This consensual issue is not relevant in fiction, that's what makes it ok. If you think fiction can influence people,then it goes back to the age old violent video games argument all over again...
I mean if I know this person is an imminent danger to others or tell me to my face he's going to assault kids, yeah of course I'm going to stop him however I can, but we're talking about fictional stuff here, they are just going to consume whatever tickle their fancy and go about their day.
@Zgd0rhrznd50214@C4rmydumps this is an unfortunate aspect of western religion still affecting western cultural mindset despite years of secularization.
@Siwibunzi@C4rmydumps no because I believe all of them can distinguish between real and fictional, I also don't question some guy shooting down people indiscriminately in GTA
@catcherandthe2i reactionary can be both from left or right, instead of sticking to a side, we should just focus on policy that maximize freedom of expression.
@yru2u@GiveMeBanHammer I just wanna enjoy great art by talented human artists man, woman malfoid, femboy malfoy, trans malfoy, who cares I just wanna enjoy art
you literally show a wiki of a character and try to convince people that means anything. Canonicity does not matter, because that shit is made up and fluid, today author say this about the character, tmr author say this character is actually a full grown adult haha sorry readers. Like description of characters age, skin color, race, background, lore, story everything can be changed on a whim of the author because they are not REAL. why people don't understand this?

@dominixUB@UpgradeFanboy It's concerning because you find it repulsive, that's pretty normal reaction, but I would argue that is closer to personal preference than actual imminent danger to society.
@ejheath_@dominixUB@UpgradeFanboy It is though, you wanna focus your resources on catching actual predators doing real life harm than getting pissy about cartoons.
I really do not believe the slippery slope argument, do you think violent video games or violent movies with ambiguous morality a slippery slope for children becoming terrorists and criminals? Because the older generation certainly believe it to be true. Hell, back then, the columbine shooters were framed as gamer in as slippery slope argument against video games, but decades have past to disprove all these assertions.
Problem with actual pedos is that they are born with attractions that are harmful to society, but at the same time attractions can't be "prayed away" so I am even more supportive of fictional outlets as a mitigation tactic so police can focus their limited resources on offending predators where fiction is not enough to prevent real harm. Issue with CSAM is the act of child abuse after-all not just the attraction alone.
