re: It's Still Kiddie Porn Even if it's AI Generated - Wisconsin Arrest

Going just off the thread title and not wasting my time reading about a real POS...So is porn and AI porn rape since you can't get consent? If you watch violent movies and enjoy it arr you guilty of violent crimes? Wtf are they talking about porn without real people is still illegal. In that case arrest every one of those furry assholes for beastiality.

And what about first person shooter games, is that going to be a virtual violent crime? Seems kinda dystopian.

PS the guy in the article posted by the OP should be out to death, imo.

What about AI look-a-likes???

Didn't Jennifer Lawrence sue someone over an AI image of her?

There are two paths to treatment:

We do not know this.

To my knowledge, we haven't even done a single study with the new paths we've recently found for treating mental illnesses and OCD-type issues, like hallucinogens or Ozempic.

This is weird because on one hand, these sick fricks are twisted well beyond repair (I don’t think any amount of therapy will help, other than the threat of getting assraped in prison). I’d rather them get their fix on fake shite than hurt a child.

On the other hand, if this is made legal it sets a really nasty precedent. You’d have AI generated child porn rings that were completely legal. Other than it being creepy and disgusting as hell, they could find themselves alone with their friend’s kid after baseball practice one day, and show them a completely legal video and coax them into reenacting the video because “see? It’s no big deal.”

I absolutely love thinking about these victimless taboo topics, incest and beastiality it makes our brains become discombobulated. Our sheer emotional disgust of the topic makes us incapable of thinking logically, and is the basis of the hatred for homosexuality.


A person should be able to seek help without fear or repercussions.

Not sure about the escalation to real child abuse. Today people are less sexually active than ever. It’s actually an epidemic of young men who are satisfied with just porn and not real women.

Never implied any of that. For both of the actions mentioned there should be consequences. But their should be a pathway for people who feel they may harm others to get help, therapy, or even chemical castration if that person so wishes.

Does such a pathway not exist? You said it should be without fear and repercussions. I feel it is likely without legal repercussions today (if they’ve committed no crimes) but it can never be without fear or social repercussions and I’m not sure why it should be. People can and should be judged for thoughts they share with others, even if they don’t act on them.

What in the ever-loving frick?

What are the odds some dude sends ai kiddie porn to kids and hasn’t ever diddled one? No repercussions for that?

What does that have to do with:

You know, the part you left out to selectively quote.

Since you think there is a cure for this, you must also be OK with parents trying to turn their gay kids straight, y'know since sexualities are apparently pliable

I think that argument cuts both ways. If you think all pedophiles (regardless of whether they’ve acted on any impulses) are what they are, and that there’s no treatment under the sun that could cure them, what does that mean about gay people? What about trans people? Do you think they are inherently gay/trans, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it? Do you think that applies to all of them? I think that would certainly have.. implications. Particularly as it applies to transgender folks.

I suspect there’s a spectrum, ranging from treatable to lost cause / nature to nurture, as there is with many mental illnesses. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume there are likely victims of sexual abuse out there who have urges but have not acted on them.

And you should be able to call it a mental illness without giving them a pass for their actions. I can understand the reasons that folks who research this kind of thing would want some level of de-stigmatism - so those people can come forward. If there is a way to treat those people, it’s a net benefit for society to do so. It’s not unlike wanting kids who shoot up a school to get help before they pass the point of no return.

At the same time, I can see the counter-argument that de-stigmatism and enablement go hand-in-hand. I think that ship has largely sailed with the internet now that anyone can find like-minded people on just about any topic, but I get it. Some things should be stigmatized, too, and this certainly falls into that category. So I don’t think it’s black and white at all really.
