    Whatever you wanted to say I do not unserstand your point.

    It’s not about protecting directly real people images, it’s about preventing Pedophilia.

    Pedophilia IS AN ADDICTION!!! Fueling it with anything, even AI, will worsen the ADDICTION!

      No one chooses to be a pedophile - as far as we know it’s just the unluckiest possible sexual attraction.

      Stigmatizing it won’t help anyone - those people need help and everything that doesn’t hurt real children until they get themselves that psychological help is good in my book

        Wtf are you talking about.

        They may not be choosing it, but accepting they exist and ignoring them is a way to say you accept Pedophilia.

        They should know that they do something wrong and that there is help (at lest in France there are processes to try and help them, and it’s about the same as an addiction but with other content).

          Of course they know that what they do is wrong

          But thoughts aren’t criminal and if they manage to control their attraction in a way that hurts no-one (like this ai-generated stuff or the child-sex-dolls or other things that are very creepy to almost everyone else) then they should totally be normal members of society

          I’m not saying that they should be proud of it and see it as something normal - it’s definitely a psychological issue - but denying them stuff that helps them satisfy their urges without hurting anyone should be a good step to help them face their sexuality instead of suppressing them

          I think it should totally be possible to access things like it but it should also be necessary to link to a helpline like the one you mentioned (Germany has something like that) similar to how a helpline for suicide is necessary if someone mentions that subject

            Well, it’s not just that “simple” as to satisfy their urges.

            An addiction, in a way is the more someone consumes the drug, the more they want that drug.

            For some Pedophilia may not be directly inpactful to people around them, however allowing access to such things may worsen their condition. And direct them more towards such content, instead of replacing it with adult pornography.

            Help should be available as you said, with a number to call for advice or help. France I think also has such number, not sure if it’s still online, I just saw some article from some years ago talking about that.

      Are you saying they’re “born this way?” Has that been demonstrated anywhere?
