    This has nothing to do with legality or restricting freedoms. It’s about the admins building a forum to the form they’d like to see.

    Plus the harm principle is really fuzzy. What level of interaction is the cutoff for harm vs inadvertent impact?

    I also think drawn kiddie porn hurts the people who view it inadvertently. I don’t know if there have been studies on a causation link between viewed cp content and sexual preferences towards minors, or causal relationship between that and abuse/grooming. But that’s another possible harm connection.

      Honestly this argument reminds me of the age old claim that “video games causes violence” because people thought glorifying violence in video games would get you to shoot people. In reality, there is still no link between gaming and violence. Sick people hurt other people and blaming art for lack of responsibility is sad.

        That’s why I said there’d need to studies on a causation link for this specifically. I know video games have had those studies done and found that there isn’t a link. So you’d want a similar study for this. But there’s still the accidently stumbling across it issue too.
