Lmao you said it makes no sense in regards to the material being used to groom children. I don’t need to hold your hand in that thought process on why it can potentially groom or foster that behavior. Go eat curb

On the one hand, DNS was being needlessly accusatory and the logic of ‘you don’t understand how predators work so you must be one’ is silly. On the other hand, I get why they’re being so caustic because YES CP is ABSOLUTELY used exactly how they describe. The idea is that by getting the child used to sexual activity, they’ll get used to thinking about sexual activity and won’t be as freaked by inappropriate propositions, perhaps even believing they’re the initiator instead of being manipulated and taken advantage of, and then they won’t report the predator to authorities. Not to mention some of the predators who actually feel child attraction (as opposed to the more than 50% who are just rapists of opportunity) use that manufactured consent to self-delude themselves into thinking ‘well they’re enjoying it and they said yes so I’m not REALLY doing anything wrong’.
Part 4 on this article interviewing someone who was trying to research pedos on the dark web, for one example: “In other words, there are child molestation crusaders out there, and Pam ran into a lot of this on the Deep Web. Below is one response to a 7axxn post from a guy, bemoaning his inability to be anything but a “leech” (a person who consumes the content but never submits any) because his family situation made it impossible to actively share child pornography. The other members suggested he could aid “the cause” by helping to “enlighten & educate” the children in his life on the “true philosophies of love”” cracked.com/personal-experiences-1760-5-things-i-…

They’re being so caustic because they get a sick power rush from trying unleash a mob on someone. That’s all. They probably don’t give a shit about children.

Kids will do things if they see other children doing it in pictures and videos. It’s easier to normalize sexual behavior with cp then without.

This sounds like you’re searching really hard for a reason to justify banning it. Pretty tenuous “what if” there.
Like, a dildo could hypothetically be used to sexualize a child. Should we ban dildos?
It’s so vague it could apply to anything.

Banning the tech, banning generated cp on the internet or banning it at home?
I’m a big advocate of AI and don’t personally want any kind of banning or censorship of the tools.
I don’t think it should be published on any kind of image sharing sites. I don’t hold people publishing it in high regards and I’m not against some kind of consequence. I generally view prison as unproductive though.
At home, I’m not sure. People imo can do what they want behind closed doors. I don’t want any kind of surveillance but I don’t know how I would react if it got brought up at a trial, as a kind of proof if the allegations have something to do with that theme (child molestation).

It would probably make me distrust the prosecution, like if they’re bringing this up they must not have much to go on. Like every time a black man is shot by police they bring up that he smoked weed.
I guess my main complaint is that it’s insane to view it as equivalent to real CP, and it’s harmful to waste any resources prosecuting it.
