The entire concept of being sexually attracted to children is revolting, but I find the concept of criminalizing cartoons or AI generated images perplexing.
The whole legal theory behind criminalizing child porn is that the subjects are minors, can't consent, and are therefore victims. AI-generated pictures aren't people and can't be victims.
Barring evidence that viewing fake kiddie porn highly correlates with the person moving on to the real stuff, I'm not seeing the societal benefit to criminalizing this. Yes it's gross and perverted, but that's not the benchmark by which we define what is legal and what is not.
These people are wired wrong, and they can't be fixed, so I'd much rather that they sat in their house satisfying their urges by jerking off to fake kids than messing with real ones.

Criminals escalate. If you don't stop the small crimes they graduate to larger ones.

It's the same reason we're pretty harsh about abusing animals. That behavior only leads one direction. It's not worth caring about people who do this and then will stop on their own. The punishment works EITHER WAY.
and they can't be fixed
Yea but they can be so afraid of being put in prison that they keep in their pants all the way into the grave.

Pictures arent crime. No one is being victimized. This kind of logic is how we end up censoring normal sex and violence in media, so it has to be called out.
So I can break into your house and take a naked picture of you and share it without your consent? I mean it's just a picture. What's your problem with it?
No one is being victimized.
Yea, exactly, you didn't even know the picture exists.

Was it hard getting on that high horse?
so it has to be called out.
If you draw naked pictures of children and share them online you are going to jail. And you think this is the moment to "call out" a problem?
This is leftist bullshit. Show me the actual harms here instead a bunch of handwavy excuses to avoid punishments.
AI child pornography? Imagine being that much of a predator you have to make your own porn.
Also, of course this guy is the literally anti-right wing stereotype lmao.
