Comment on Spread of sexual deepfake images created by generative AI growing in Japan
jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 4 weeks agoAdults. Where I am from the word adult only has one meaning. An adult is a person of 18 years of age at the very least.
You said “mature looking” for which a 16 year old person might qualify depending on the exact interpretation which is not ok. It doesn’t matter what they look like, it matters whether they are an adult or not. Going for looks reminds me of creeps going “he/she is so mature for his/her age”. That is not ok.

We’re talking about fictional women and artwork, their physical age is measured in seconds. In my language Woman means to say Adult Female, as opposed to Girl.

Oh right. My mistake. I guess when it comes to art then anything that isn’t obviously a child is technically legal, if distasteful and morally more than questionable. At least that is the legal situation in most countries.
My objective is the minimisation of harm. If someone uses artwork and that means that they will never touch an underage person then that is a good thing even though I may not like it.

I have never understood why we persecute and prosecute seemingly without taking this into account at all and treat someone with pedophile urges who never acted on them the same way as we treat someone who looked at drawn images and both of those the same was as someone who looks at actual images of real children being abused or someone who actively abuses children.
If anything we should try to offer the first two help in their attempts to never let their urges affect any real, existing children.
However a lot of the time it feels more like our society is designed to achieve the opposite in its active hostility to people who want to live their lives largely in places where they won’t encounter children.

Sometimes when you create leeway or ambiguity, the worse kinds of people will use it to stress the limits and do unimaginable harm. For example, legalizing a child pornography production and collection would legalize the company that profits off of child pornography and emboldens those with pedophilic urges.

I don’t think you correctly parsed my statement at all tbh. I was saying optics is the only indication of age in these images, they cannot literally be 18 if they don’t exist.
