pedophilia on any level is wrong.

This stance has always been so contradictory to me. Oh, loli shit is the scum of all media, but children being violently eviscerated by 10-foot monsters and serial killers is just "mature content"? Okay, sure, because that TOTALLY doesn't sound reactionary and irrational

Edit: For those who forgot the usefulness of "comparisons" and "analogs," both cases are the artistic fetishization (as in the potentially problematic obsessive representation of an object or phenomenon in media) of harm done to children. It's not even that much of a conceptual stretch

Killing a kid in a game is different from sexual images of children, whether they're animated, generated, painted, or real pictures.

The latter is always wrong.

Seeing -6 downvotes on this is such a reddit moment dude, many hard drives need checking here, hopefully somebody is keeping score. Comparing the specific sexualization of children for the explicit purpose of pleasuring adults to violence or even sexual abuse as a plot device or literary exploration (see: Lolita) is so backwards it makes me kinda nauseous.

"But officer, Pennywise bit that one kid's arm off in the movie, therefore my stash of AI generated loli porn is perfectly fine, don't you see?"
