In this video I discuss how generative AI technology has grown far past the governments ability to effectively control it and how the current legislative measures could lead to innocent people being jailed.

Nobody is protecting digital children and it's almost always disingenuous when this argument is claimed to be made. The effort is to stop the normalization of the sexualization children. Lolicon is exclusively about romancing or sexualizing children. Deluded adults who think what happens in lolicon material is ok are potential risks to real children. Allowing such a risk to children for the pleasure of these adult is absurd.

Fair enough. Imo lolicon is disgusting. And Im not making an argument in bad faith, I just see how much general society fails at protecting children and would rather see any effort spent towards cracking down on lolicon to be used to help real children.

I understand what you're saying, but the fighting against Lolicon doesn't necessarily take away from the fight against real CSAM. The reality is serious, far-reaching, and, ultimately, human issues like the exploitation of children are complex and require effort on multiple fronts to be effective.

So by that logic why didn't all of us that grew up playing COD "normalize" walking around shooting everybod?, that stupid claim used to be made all the time. I've yet to me a serial killer that blamed video games.

  1. The amount of people warped by COD or Lolicon is not 100%, but it's certainly not 0%
  2. It sounds like you haven't actually played COD because the game is about WARFARE, not domestic terrorism. Maybe ask people who joined the US military how inspired they were by the game

You're a complete moron you know that? Aside from having every COD the first handful of years they came out, I also served. But you knew that right genius?

Maybe ask people who joined the US military how inspired they were by the game

That'd be a first, and go figure, I just happen to know a LOT of other people in the military.

I also never made the claim ZERO people were ever effected, I said it never normalize any of it. Next time try reading with your eyes open and try not to inject your make believe facts based on zero.
