> WaPo cartoonist arrested for computer-generated AI "CSAM" porn (literally cartoon loli porn that one can find on Pixiv or Baraag or NHentai, or Hitomi or even this instance)

> Post calls or implies that the man is a criminal pedophile

> Poster posts/shares/favorites loli porn on this instance and professes to be a lolicon while totally NOT being a pedophile

@Aldo2 the tip comes from the NCMEC, who in the past has told people to stop reporting loli because it is a waste of their resources.

here's an article about the actual law from california: https://a23.asmdc.org/press-releases/20240929-california-criminalizes-ai-enabled-child-sexual-abuse

a lot of governments across the united states and the world are starting to ban this, and it is pretty clear to me that it refers to realistic AI that actually resembles children and is trained on actual children.

this article also states that he had uploaded 134 videos of csam, which is completely different than ai generated images: https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/pulitzer-winning-cartoonist-darrin-bell-arrested-for-child-pornography-details-article-117296411

@beardalaxy you're splitting hairs.

First off, yes, loli porn is obviously fine.

Second, "AI enabled abuse"? Do you have any idea how retarded that sounds? "Not real real abuse".

Laws can be shit. Shit laws are shit. It's not like every law is amazing. If that was the case, there wouldn't have been prosecutions against "loli" porn in the first place.

And what about 3DCG or just 3D in general. Plenty of pretty realistic 3D loli porn on this instance. You're opening a can of worms without even understanding it.

The videos are AI generated. The post that you shared (actual police-statement) stated as such ("computer generated AI images/videos"). The shitty clickbait article you shared in that link just attempts to create drama around it while not clarifying what exactly the content was.

You're clutching at straws.

I don't care whether Prager is Jewish. The post was about Nick and his fucking fanbase.

@beardalaxy let me get this right then:

Lolicons are not pedophiles if they only look at porn of cartoon children who are clearly children.

They only become pedophiles if they look at AI 3D porn of children who are clearly children.

This is so stupid, it's unreal.

What about AI cartoon porn of children (like a good 60% of all the "loli" content on Pixiv nowadays)? How does that work? Does that make them pedos or lolicons?

@Aldo2 if someone seeks out or generates realistic AI porn of children i believe they are a pedophile, yes.
