Sorry, but pedophilia is vastly different than coprophilia and other outlandish fetishes in the scale of harm to others and the inability for it to ever be consensual.
I could talk about how pedophiles also tend to seek positions where they hold power dynamics over children, even ones who don’t act on their desires, increasing the likelihood of abuse, but I think your point is moreso about a hypothetical pedophile who doesn’t act on their desires, doesn’t acquire CSAM, doesn’t surround themselves with children and simply struggles internally with their fetish and actively seeks professional help on how to maintain a safe life for themselves and others.
Yes, I suppose that person doesn’t need any government intervention in their lives outside of the monitoring you suggested.
That said, this particular article is about a man who did seek out, acquire and consume CSAM instead of seeking therapy. The government detected this and removed him from society such that he cannot be a threat to children. That sounds about right.

HOI4 is an interesting choice for an analogy here.
It’s unanalagous in that HOI4 sanitized itself of the Holocaust specifically so people wouldn’t be able to roleplay committing xenophobic genocide, unlike the game in question which is specifically designed to let you roleplay a pedophile rapist preying on the already abused.
However it is tangentially analogous in the sense that anime tends to have a bit of a Nazi bar issue with pedophilia thanks to people (who I’m gonna have to assume are well intentioned) unintentionally making room for pedophiles to exist and operate with arguments just like the ones you’re making here.
Of course video games don’t cause violence. The only people interested in the pedophile rapist roleplay visual novel, though, are very likely people with an interest in pedophilia. The government is right to monitor and remove people who acquire CSAM instead of going to therapy from society and it isn’t overreach to protect children in this way. Is there a potential for such a system to be abused by the government? Yes, of course, but such is true of any system. Preventing government abuse and corruption is separate from stopping the distribution of CSAM and protecting children from predators.

It’s a little more than a drawing, it’s an h game literally about grooming an underaged abused child to have sex with you. It’s child pornography, the Norwegian government rightly recognizes it as such and it’s fucking disgusting.

Yeah. Now some of those posts and comments are specifically from instances with which blahaj is defederated, but there’s also posts and comments that are visible from world accounts that can’t be seen unless I’m logged in with my world account

Yeah I’m seeing the same thing. Some posts aren’t even showing up, posts from lemmy.world accounts, too. That shouldn’t be happening, right?

There’s no key to anyone’s heart. The less you obsess over dating and sex, the happier you will be.
- Comment on The big Crusader Kings III: All Under Heaven expansion is out 5 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s too early to say, but, y’all, this fucking slaps. I’m really enjoying playing as a heretofore unknown dynasty in China, trying to get up the ranks, get assigned territory to govern and build up my family. Just tried a bit last night, so unsure what Japanese or Mandala governments are like, or even what being closer to the Emperor in the Celestial government is like, but it’s a big departure from playing in Europe and that’s very interesting.

They either already have a buyer set up before the heist (seems unlikely, things that probably just happen in movies) or far more likely, cut it up into unrecognizable gemstones then sell it

This game looks interesting. After playing the demo, I think they got something really solid on their hands if they can figure out how to keep the procedurally generated events and alternative storylines interesting
