I must have misunderstood your post. Can you explain it to me in simpler terms?

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Uh.... I'll try.

Society can't be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.
