"I have gotten so badly censored by the left......that it made me suicidal."

Maybe don't promote pedophilia you sick fuck?

Maybe actually say why child pornography is so bad instead of assuming everyone knows already? I had no idea it was a controversial idea at all until I received so much backlash. I always interpreted it (and still interpret it) as the same as violent video games: depicting a harmful act, but not actually harming anyone in real life. In general, sexual norms in society confuse me a lot. I have seen well-written arguments for pedophiles being more accepted (e.g, this article), but whenever anyone argues against it, they always assume the person they are arguing with already knows why, and just shame them instead of actually trying to convince them of anything. I can accept that the act itself is harmful, but I can't understand how one can simultaneously oppose the existence of media depicting acts which can't be done consensually in real life, while supporting the existence of violent video games where one is virtually killing people, which also is rarely consensual in real life.

any sexual act with a child is rape. CP is rape

    I already said on my original comment, that the filming of child pornography should be illegal. I was talking about distribution after the fact, not the creation. And, I also believe paying for filmed child pornography should be illegal, in order to not incentives it. I do, however, believe that the creation of fictional, drawn or computer-generated child pornography should be legal, because literally nobody is harmed in that. Though, from what I understand, that is already in a legal grey area.

    I also feel that one should not be able to be charged of having naked photos of oneself, as has happened in the past.

    Imagine having no idea if the guy standing behind you at the grocery store just jacked off to images or videos of you being raped. An adult does not have the right to distribute a sexual video of another adult without express permission.

    This is why my opinion gets a whole lot weaker, as it involves an actual video of an actual person filmed non-consentually. I didn't bother to specify that initially, though, because I didn't anticipate people arguing about the opinion itself, rather than the censorship of it. I guess I must always be on guard when mentioning it.

    Here's a question though: should such a video be allowed to be distributed, if the person retroactively consents to the distribution after turning 18? I would retroactively give consent for others to view bad things that have happened to me in the past, if enough people wanted to.

      I'm talking about what I think should be legal, not what is currently legal.

      And, as I already said, I still think that the sexual activity itself should not be legal. I am talking about the distribution of recordings after the fact, not partaking in and filming of them (or even paying for them), which is much more problematic.

      Videos of people being murdered are videos of people being murdered.

      Videos of people being raped are videos of people being raped

      straw man arguments are straw man arguments

      traps are gay, like you.
