Did you just compare furries to pedophiles? One of those is harmless, the other is not.

[–] giggling_engine@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ironically, I was giving them as an example of something OK. My point just went over your head.

[–] Nommer@sh.itjust.works -5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, it didn't but it seems like mine went over yours. Furries usually are fine outside a few bad actors but pedophiles are mentally ill and should not be allowed them to generate AI CSAM just to satisfy them. They should be seeking help, not jerking it to fake kiddies.

People used to say trans people were mentally ill. If they're not harming actual children, what's it to you what their fetish is?

[–] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Stop trying to justify your mental illness. You need to seek help if you think fucking kids is okay.

I don't think that. Obviously actually having sex with children is wrong. I was saying that generating AI child porn with no actual harm to children involved can't be logically argued to be immoral.
