Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I'm absolutely, 100%, postively not on-side with paedophiles. But ...
In drawn porn … who are the victims precisely? I mean that's the question:
(Emphasis mine.)
I'm tempted to turn the fantasy Internet point counters back on just to watch people who aren't capable of reading comprehension hit the downvote button so hard it crashes the servers (all of them) … but nah, fuck that shit.
The reason it's problematic is that they indulge their attraction to kids.
Not sure how many go from drawn CP to actual CSAM (I know, potential slippery slope fallacy), but they should be seeking professional help to deal with these urges.
I didn't say it wasn't problematic.
I asked where the victims are in, specifically, drawn porn, given that the person I was responding to so histrionically said, and I quote:
I fully agree that finding drawn paedophilia attractive is symptomatic of a huge problem. As I said in my opening sentence:
But to claim there's victims in drawn pornography indicates either a serious deficiency in vocabulary or a serious deficiency in the capacity for thought in general.
There IS no professional help, first of all. We've driven all the pedos underground.
Secondly, this is just reefer madness all over again. "Gateway drug" bullshit.
Maybe it has the opposite effect, I'm not an expert at all.
If I had the urge to watch porn with drawn or AI generated kids, I would be worried about that though. If someone watches that without contemplating why, that's problematic. If they do it as a coping mechanism, good for them, I guess.
I won't shame anyone for their urges, how wrong they might be. You can't decide what you want.
That's the opposite of your previous comments. Be cool if you could amend them to include this.
