I'm a fan of not yucking other people's yum, especially in the privacy of their own homes and not infringing on the liberty, safety or wellbeing of others.
That said, if we've got folks who just straight up like child pornography (which we do, and always will for as long as we remain a race of homo sapiens, sadly), would the ability for them to consume this kind of generated content actually help? Or would it encourage these people to then go further and prey on real human children?
I simply have no idea. I grew up with violent video games. I've had violent thoughts. But blowing someone's brains out in a game has never motivated me to do it in real life. I think that whole era of moral panic was silly. But human psychology is complicated, this could be very different.
Well... it's certainly interesting to ponder. As a personal anecdote I had zero parental supervision growing up and I spent an absurd amount of my formative years on the dark corners of the early Internet. During that time I got hooked on pornography the effects of which I deal with to this day. If I replay the scenario but insert the possibility of stumbling across what amounts to a pedophilia creation machine I... really don't want to think about it...
Philosophically speaking here, but this was said about atypical sexual preferences in the past.
Of course, distributing such images should be illegal. But perhaps generating them solves a problem?
