This is more of a 2 part question. Should child porn that does not include a real child be illegal? If so, who is being harmed by it?

The other question is; does giving a pedophile access to “imitation” children give them an outlet for their desire, so they won’t try to engage with real children, or does it just reinforce their desire, thus helping them to rationalize their behavior and lead to them being more encouraged to harm real children?

I’ve heard psychologists discuss both sides, but I don’t think we have any real life studies to go off of because the technology is so new.

I’m just curious what the other thought out there are from people who are more liberty minded.

    I keep laughing at this “someone elses problem” point. I can’t refute it without revealing way too much personal info, its such a perfect non-argument.

    You don’t know shit about how close I’ve been to these matters irl, and I can’t tell you.

      Keep it to the single branch of discussion, since you don’t have much to say anyway, please.

        No. I’ve played by your bullshit rules long enough. Fight me on two fronts, or walk away.

          There’s no fight. You lost long time ago when you decided to prove that you’re just another case of a script following online “philosopher” high on his own words and the feeling of self-importance.

          I’ll keep responding, but my attention lies elsewhere, much like it did since you showed your true “no walk” colors.

          Would that be all?

            Is being infuriating all you have left?

        How about three fronts? I have a lot to say so more bite-sized bits would help get through you non-existent attention span.

          Yes, yes, of course.

          Now, would that be all?

            Look at it this way, I didn’t declare an end to our delightful little chat, I declared my victory in the original matter.

            You stopped forwarding arguments and counter-arguments two comments in, giving me the win by default.

            All you have left, is acting like the ball is in my court and I’m the one who is refusing to make the next move.

                "Observe, as the creature finally clams up completely, refusing all exchange. Resorting to a final four words that carry no meaning whatsoever, except the implied ‘fuck you’.

                Truly, a deep thinker of the interwebs."

                    "In desperation, it repeats the words in an attempt to have the last word.

                    Unaware, that if the last words spoken are obviously meaningless, they aren’t last words at all. But simply the pathetic death-cry of a loser."

                    I do hope you reflect on what I’ve told you, despite my being mean. You’re clearly not so dumb as to be completely without hope. Even if I’m wrong, which I well might be, your arguing skills are so bad they actively sabotage your own message.
