did they start out deepfaking minors? i'm not sure drawing what you think an adult might look like naked is more harmful than simply imagining it, nor that making a computer do it changes that.
the harm happens when you start harassing somebody and we don't need fancy cgi porn for the pests to cross that line.
Yes, creeps can imagine creep things, but having access and availability of pedo treats both normalizes their cravings and in many cases places them on a hedonic treadmill where they need bigger "hits" for the same effect.
Almost every convicted pedophile started with child porn first.
I'd rather not have the hedonic treadmill/normalization debate all over again, though. I've done this song and dance before it comes down to "nuh uh, uh huh, nuh uh, uh huh" so I'll pass and let you believe what you want to believe. :wall-talk:

it's not like any study could pass even neoliberal IRB standards of ethics and any non-raping pedos aren't going to talk to your random phone survey so this doesn't seem like the kind of thing we can make rigorous conclusions about.
It's a weird hill for you to fight on in particular, in my opinion. I already said I'd rather not continue this exchange because you've already went to the "nuh uh" with a preemptive rejection of any sources I would have otherwise cited. :wall-talk:
it's probably worse now as social media means weirdos now have more access to creep on these young girls
The :reddit-logo: creep who got "Deepfakes" started deserves a very special corner of hell.
That's awful I hadn't heard of that but I'm also not remotely surprised somehow

that wasn't a "nuh uh" and i'm not fighting. I don't have a strong opinion, I just said why i don't.
