#tw csam

I already did and it sure sucks ass that I have to keep defending myself. In the notes on this post i said that fiction isn't csam bc it does not abuse real children and Ai is bc it feeds off of real photos of children. Here is my source on why it is classified that way and here is how incorrectly labeling it can harm victims. No where do I make any commentary on whether or not its should exist or anything else, just that its not csam. It is important to me to use the right words for it bc I am a victim of it myself.

I am aware of Australia's recent ruling but 1. I dont live in Australia and 2. Governments are quite frequently wrong about things. My government currently thinks its a great idea to kidnap and murder people for no fucking reason.

An asshole got mad that I blocked them, not for hating pedophilia, but for being a dick in my notes, and their friend decided to imply I'm a creep because of it. Ill remind yoj i am allowed to block anyone for any reason and id encourage you to do the same.

Don't ever fucking tell me trans women are the only ones getting pedojacketed ever again.

Calling a trans guy a pedophile defender for using the right terminology is transandrophobia btw.

Freedom of Expression does NOT cover things that cause tangible harm to specific people.

Think of it this way:

Everyone has innate human rights. Freedom of Expression is one of them, but it is not the only one. People also have rights to bodily autonomy, privacy, dignity, safety, and to not be sexually exploited.

Child Sexual Abuse Material ("CSAM" - this is now the preferred term for "child pornography") may technically be a form of "expression" in the most literal sense - but it is a form that is the documented product of the sexual abuse of a real child, and its circulation continues that abuse.

Likewise, Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery ("NCII" - this is now the preferred term for "revenge porn") is the non-consensual distribution of intimate material in a way that directly violates a specific person’s privacy, dignity, and safety.

So I really don't think this is a case of making some prudish exception to anti-censorship principles. It's a case of recognizing that one person’s claimed "expression" cannot include the right to violate another person’s human rights.

And, as a side note, that is also why FICTIONAL depictions of abuse, or even ugly works that seem to romanticize or encourage abuse, fall into a very different category.

Those works may be highly disturbing, exploitative, disgusting, or morally rotten, but they are NOT actually abusing a specific real person in the way CSAM and NCII are - the harm there is direct, concrete, and inseparable from the material itself.

With fiction, the argument is usually vague and indirect: some third party might consume it, be influenced by it, and then do something harmful later. That kind of causal chain is speculative, hard to prove, based on the actions of another person with their own free will, and potentially limitless once you start to expand on it. If you make that the standard for censorship, then practically any book, film, fantasy, or artwork could potentially end up suppressed on the theory that it might negatively affect someone somewhere.

Then after he passed Bruce would spend days looking over every image he saved of him and when he memorized every detail of those images he started searching the internet for anything that included Jason. Images from galas he dragged him to, photos from the paparazzi that bruce used to fight off, pictures from Jason's school clubs. Then he saw that photo, 'got this of some kid on the street a few years ago, looks like Bruce's newest acquisition', he never knew an image alone could make him vomit. The comments were worse, 'this is limited edition now', 'I wonder how much brucie would pay for this', 'he must miss him, the kid was good' as if Bruce was anything like them, as if Bruce would ever even think about doing that.

It took the bat compter 15 minutes to track down their home addresses and 25 minutes for Bruce to put them all in comas so deep they'd spend most of their prison sentences in the icu.

what the absolute FUCK are you all doing. you say "we protect minors!" "we're normal!"

Right, right, yet you decide to post CSEM/CSAM of a rq when prn was younger and post it to a safe space. YOU ARE SICK. You claim "we protect kids", but is protecting kids really sharing csam/csem in a safe space where they can talk amongst one another, share experiences and ask for advice when they're down really "protecting kids"? you all are sick. maybe we lot dont get it, but how is THIS protecting minors, sharing csam/csem of people just because they're rq/proship.

you lot of antis need to know what illegal bullshit some of you are doing. its sickening the lengths you will do to harass us, posting uncensored gore in tags, and now posting csam/csem into a safe space. disgusting.

censored image below cut with permission to share, this image is NOT ours.

you can go fuck right off, actually.

I am not attracted to real children. I do not have interest in consuming CSAM, and i think anyone who does so is disgusting. I am not using lolisho content as a "substitute" for CSAM.

I like shotas. Not real children.

NOT ONLY THAT, you disgusting fucking freak, bit to suggest that i would cause harm against a child just because i enjoy shota content is actually BEYOND repulsive.

Because let's think this through for a second. You believe that because i enjoy fictional content, i will be prone to or eventually make the conscious decision to sexually assault a kid??? Use at least two braincells here, idiot. Are people who enjoy watching animated gore eventually going to commit a murder, by this logic??

I could go deeper here, but i doubt you'd try to listen, given that you were stupid enough to tell a victim of sexual assault that they would eventually push that sort of harm on a real child because of their tastes in fiction. What kind of stupid do you have to be?

I usually hate ai and ai bros but I HATE AO3 MORE! I FUCKING HATE THE HYPOCRISY AMD AO3 SAYS THEY AREN'T A POLITICAL ARCHIVE WHEN IT COMES TO PALESTINE! BUT THE WHOLE THING ABOUT ARCHIVES IS THAT THEY ARE POLITICAL BECAUSE THEY ARE ANTI-CENSORSHIP!

AO3 IS SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO BE ANTI-CENSORSHIP AND ARCHIVE BUT THEY REMOVED POSTS ABOUT PALESTINE AND CALLING FOR AWARENESS ABOUT THE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE!! THEY ARE HYPOCRITES!
