Calling this child abuse is what's fucking disgusting. This is adults role playing with fucking digital renderings. Literally no children involved. Go clutch pearls elsewhere
They specifically called it "child abuse content", not "child abuse". This seems perfectly valid, no?
By the way, just because these are digital renderings does not mean that there is no harm. Seeing such content can still be harmful to past victims. Just try to put yourself in this situation: imagine just playing some video game online, and suddenly being exposed to people recreating traumatic experiences from your past. Not only that - you also discover that the creators of the video game are involved & actively enabling such content. Seems completely messed up to me.
No it doesn't. Only in the same way that violent video games or bdsm normalize actual violence.
Yes, sexualizing real children's bodies is wrong. Sexualizing 3d images of fantasy things is always OK because it's not real
What a terrible take. The same way that violent video games promote violence and is harmful to children?
No children are involved
There is 0 evidence of this, and some evidence to the contrary. Having an outlet that involves 0 victims is beneficial. But even still, there are people that are into this that have 0 interest in actual children. Because it's just a fantasy, the same way that people have rape fantasies.
