This person has also said many transphobic and misogynistic things to me before. Lemmy.ml is a fucking joke, I'm only on here to check trans places everywhere

    From what I see, @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml also agrees that these images are not acceptable, but for a slightly different reason (defamation and libel instead of CSAM). S

    This is not an excuse on a moral level. Even on a purely legalistic level (which I do not admit is the same as a moral judgement, which is what this is) both defamation and libel are generally civil causes of action which can result in injunction against the speaker/writer further speaking/writing, and/or the award of damages. Production of CP is a criminal offence in almost all places and one which tends to attract serious jail time. Conflating the two is still a mitigatory defence of the production of CP.

    CW: Sexual assault.

    It is functionally the same as a man arguing that he should not be charged with rape because his victim was a sex worker and it was therefore a case of theft. It's an absurd and terrible argument and anyone who makes it should be mocked and shunned.
