It will only go downhill from here - Lemmy.World

Isn’t it a good thing for pedophiles to have an outlet for their desires that doesn’t involve harming children? Am I not seeing an obvious downside?
It depends on whether you hold a world view where every person is valuable and needs help and understanding to become their best self or one where there are good and bad people and the baddies need to be punished and locked away so everyone else can live their life in peace.
That’s a ridiculously strict and binary view that reduces this issue to the point of absurdity.

involving minors

But if it’s just generated by AI there might be no involvement

It doesn’t matter. We cannot indulge the distribution of media with sex acts depicting minors.
That's a rather useless contribution to the discussion. The initial argument was a line of reasoning why artificial csam might be a benefit so people can vent their otherwise harmful behavior without harming actual people. You just flat out responded "it is enabling and doesn't stop distribution". So you just responded with "no, u wrong". Care to tell us you reasons behind your stance?
So did I just say “no u wrong“ or did I say “it is enabling it doesn’t stop distribution“? I am incredibly confused by your comment.

“it is enabling it doesn’t stop distribution“

Norgur’s point is that you didn’t provide any reasoning why that should be the case.

Giving pedophiles access to depictions of children nude/having sex is, at face value, enabling. By definition. They are literally indulging in the media for their own gratification.
