This topic deserves more complexity than it's received over the Gamergate years, but I would argue that the vast majority of video game violence is sublimated into acts that most people would consider somewhat justified. I firmly believe COD and Battlefield drove up army recruitment in the same way Top Gun did for the Navy and Air Force.
GTA allows you to kill anyone, but it's cartoony. RPGs probably have the least amount of mitigation, but I don't know if you could say they genuinely promote immoral violence.
Why would sex or porn make you into a potential rapist? The vast majority of porn is roleplayed as consensual. When it comes to children, though, any sexual contact is by definition nonconsensual. Any thirst a pedo gets from CSAM is impossible to morally satisfy.
Sex itself should not be equated to violence as a public commodity. There are myriad justified reasons for the public application of violence, but none for the public display of sex, and in fact there is a certain point past which most people can agree that cultural familiarization with sex is degrading. Instagram crossed this point a long time ago, and Onlyfans is finishing the job. It creates a false, hollow, predatory, soul-sucking environment.
One of the oldest grooming tactics in the book is familiarizing children with porn. Individuals who are conditioned to treat low-level deviancy as normal will be more open to higher levels. I don't see a way that AI-driven CSAM won't make that tactic more effective on several levels.
Violence having wide-spread societal use vs. sex having extremely limited use and purpose is convincing, thank you.
Boomer hippies pushed "violence is not the answer" specifically because they were grooming and sexualizing children, and wanted a population of docile, obedient sheep that wouldn't do anything about it.
Look at the UK to see how it worked. And now the "extreme measures" being taken against the rioters for falling out of line.
best argument so far. If people were worried how accessible porn is to kids, boy howdy are they in for a rude awakening when they see AI's accessibility.
We should at the very least be treating access to AI the same as access to porn.
I agree. This is why the same "teachers" who advocated for homosexuality to be taught to little kids are now pushing CP/trans on them too.
We conservatives don't care if your books have "questionable" content, just keep them the hell away from the children! Especially other people's kids.
It is (usually) part of the grooming process: show them CP and erode their resistance to it. Same as any Classical Conditioning, eh? Like in overcoming a fear of spiders.
