Fauxbait is short for faux jailbait. Jailbait is child porn that looks like adult porn. So in short, fauxbait is pictures of adults who look like children who look like adults.
People who want to look at child porn are pedophiles whether the child porn is real or fake. And fake child porn is not a treatment for pedophilia. Posting child porn on the internet makes more pedophiles, not less.
You can’t make someone a pedophile any more than you can make someone prefer blondes or grannies. It’s an attraction that can’t be helped or influenced. You don’t just become a pedophile.
“Fake child porn” isn’t even a thing. Child porn is illegal, mainly, because it is inherently abuse. Which is why it has been “rebranded” to child sexual abuse material or “CSAM”. Adults that look young is in no way child porn, and to brand it as such is to stigmatize people for how they look.

Pretty common term tbh. You’re making a jump to assume it’s tailored to pedophiles.
And honestly, even if it was, why is that a problem? Wouldn’t you want them looking at adults instead of children?
