    now do a research on the effect of lolis (young sexualized girls) in japanese media and whether it has an effect. i wouldn’t be surprised if the outcomes were similar, yet lots of people still whine about it.

        what i meant that people don’t always care about the facts (of whether it actually does harm) as can be seen by your response.

          You’re not wrong on it increasing pedophilia but nobody’s going to respect pandering to or defending pedos. As … should be obvious.

              Theres an argument to be had about AI generated cheese pizza, and large pieces of plastic being child shaped. Ive always been of the opinion that its fucking gross, but if it was to save even one child, it would be worth it.

              Yeah, its morally icky. But Ill take icky morals, over actual hurt children. The government where I am disagrees, and has made both of these things illegal. I understand why, I just cant help but wonder if having access to these things could stop actual children being hurt? Like if theres a market flooded with AI generated pictures, it might, at some point, drown the market for actual pictures. Theres always going to be pure evil in the world, but if we can get the numbers down. Surely it has to be worth a try?

                I dunno’ about worth a try, because I don’t want anything to do with bringing that vile of shit in to this world, even fake stuff.

                Though if the science tracks like it does with violence, it should in general lower actual offenses slightly. Though there are always fuckheads out there that will want the real thing.
