I see what you're saying and agree for the most part, but you have to understand that sexualisation of children is a serious issue, and you can definitely see the difference between someone who's clearly working through something and someone who's getting off to the idea of children being abused sexually.
Now I don't support censorship, but more so I don't support child predators being welcomed and protected. Freedom of speech should have limits when it comes to child protection. Like, does this anti-censorship expand to AI videos of children being put in a sexual situation? What stops it from being freedom of speech and being a form of CSAM? Whether it's realistic or not, because in my opinion any glorified version of children being sexually abused is where it crosses the line from freedom of expression/speech, there is no possible context where painting a child in distress in a sexual context is okay.
Like with these videos with children playing with Diddy and Jeffery Epstein, people are laughing, saying it's not that deep. Like, imo that's not okay. That's not like, if that's funny, then I'd like someone to explain what's funny and same goes with these stories with literal babies being raped. Where is the benefit? Where is the benefit of keeping this disgusting fiction? What is so good about children in compromised positions that it's worth defending? Because all it's doing is normalising pedophilia and forcing us to make a safe space for these predators to express they're disgusting fantasies, and that's not cool, but oh, as long as they're not taking it too far, whatever "too far" is, as long as it's not real kids, I suppose. Do you know what the number one downloaded image on pedophiles' computers is? It's the copper tone logo that depicts a child's pants being pulled down by a dog it starts there then progresses and gets worse because it's not enough to fantasise it or see it even if with ai they can generate the exact scenario they want that will not be enough and that's why when people justify that in anyway I don't think children are safe around you the thing is with these predators first it's fiction it's stories and then it's drawings then it's real videos real pictures and then they go after a real kid it always escalates when it comes to dopamine it will numb itself you go into the more tame stuff then your mind numbs itself and you need to get into the more freaky shit to get that high again and if that high includes children I don't think there's any defending that.
You have to ask yourself what kind of person would write that deplorable shit? What kind of person would put that prompt of children playing with sex toys into an AI? Would you? Are you the type of person who in your free time writes stuff of children being sexually abused? My bets are on no, so ask yourself, who would? The answer is predators they're the ones who want to see kids in that light.
I get that AO3 is a place for people to post whatever they want without fear of it being taken down, and my points are more of a broader statement, like in general, and l am in no way trying to promote censorship, but there has to be a line between what is okay and what's not, and the sexualisation of children is where I think that line should be drawn, and I'm not talking about the effects that sexual abuse has on kids or stories that explore CSA, as I do, as a victim of child physical and sexual abuse, think those stories need to be told and do help victims process what they've been through, but there is a clear difference between that and CSAM
