Honestly, if the existing victims have to deal with a few more people masturbating to the existing video material and in exchange it leads to fewer future victims it might be worth the trade-off but it is certainly not an easy choice to make.
Well, some pedophiles have argued that AI generated child porn should be allowed, so real humans are not harmed, and exploited.
I'm conflicted on that. Naturally, I'm disgusted, and repulsed. I AM NOT ADVOCATING IT.
But if no real child is harmed...
I don't want to think about it, anymore.
Somehow I doubt allowing it actually meaningfully helps the situation. It sounds like an alcoholic arguing that a glass of wine actually helps them not drink.
I agree.
There's no helping actual pedophiles. That's who they are.
