I’m fairly sure it’s not legal to create cartoons of children having sex with adults in the USA, so why should it be any different for humans who are mentally children?
Comment on People Are Using AI to Create Influencers With Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes

Because of legal loopholes I’m certain. They aren’t technically creating images of someone that is legally a minor, despite the fact that those extremely innocent people happen to be older than 18 y/o physically, while being a bit younger mentally. The law is generally extremely slow to close such loopholes, and for good reason. You’re seeing in real time what happens when someone tries to close all the loopholes that they care about. Drumpf just happens to care about loopholes that no one except fascist billionaires care about.

We might as well just ban porn altogether.

It’s the same argument. Even if this is a wild new kinda distasteful it’s not going to have any real affects in the real world.

While I don’t disagree with you, what if the violence in the game in question was specifically against people with Down’s Syndrome? I think that may bring it a little closer to being equal - in terms of the analogy, anyway. I don’t think the big problem here is the AI porn necessarily, so much as the fetishization of not just a minority, but one with an impairment. (Which I think is only further compounded by said impairment being largely cognitive/developmental in nature, as well.)
