    I mean, perhaps in the most general sense that is technically true. For example, there have been cases about this that have come from parents taking pictures of their kids in the bathtub, even if the charges were eventually dropped. If that particular court case had gone differently, it might’ve set a very destructive precedent that served only to rip apart families.

    Still, 99% of the cases that produce this material are done so in an exploitative and abusive context; definitely not arguing with that. No idea was Aaron was talking about in that particular link, but this is the one counterexample that I think of that is valid, assuming it went a different direction in court.

      The link makes a (imo pretty valid) case for decriminalization of CP “consumption”, at least in cases where it’s not provably voluntary.

      Sharing though is a different issue altogether and there’s absolutely no way someone sharing that stuff on the internet is doing it unintentionally.

      Parents taking pictures of kids in the bathtub is evil and I would try to put my parents in jail for it if I could.

      99%? Man you can just go full 100%

      The only exception would be the r34 drawings if you consider them to be on the same level

        Medical material. Keepsake photos of your newborn. A minor sending a nude pic to their minor partner.

        Plenty of situations where technically illegal material is made with no malice at all.

        Picking and choosing isn’t the game I want to play, I’m just highlighting that there are circumstances that can result in actually innocent people doing things without thinking. Pornographic content of any kind (drawings or otherwise) that depicts underage people in any context is something I think should be illegal and avoided at all costs, but I’m highlighting that there is edge-cases in everything.
