Comment on France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls

It’s a moral panic - pure and simple. The same reason some countries want to ban cartoon/animated pictures where the fictional character looks too young. I guess the underlying assumption there is that it’ll increase the number of people offending towards real children but I don’t think there’s any evidence to back that up.

If it was up to me, the criteria would be whether an actual person is being hurt directly or as a consequence of. That would include real violence, real pictures and possibly also GenAI stuff if it’s trained on real content.

You’re putting a disturbing amount of effort into advocating for childlike sex dolls, or cartoon CP.

  This is a horrible take. What if providing access to these dolls actually decreases the likelihood that a buyer will offend against a real child? Would you be against the sale of said dolls then?

Reduction in real pictures being distributed is not a real indicator of reduction in CSA and CSE either.

A simple anecdote to show it:
How many pictures of Epstein with children are in distribution? How many for his clients?
vs the actual lives he and his gang destroyed.

The small timers are easier to catch and cull with traditional policing and internet restrictions/surveillance is going to do nothing to them in the face of what it will do to absolutely everyone else.

As far as the company in the post goes, better of letting them sell in your country, so you can easily put their customers on a watchlist, rather than be unknown until they start harming real people.
