@Suiseiseki @lamp To be fair, in part the words are simply confused by people who do not know what they mean.

No one wants a child molester. But not every pedophile is a child molester, and - indeed as you say - vice versa.

And if someone distributes real CSAI, they are indeed increasing the damage that has already happened to the children depicted. That does need to be punished.

But we live in 2025. There are not just hand drawn pictures, you can even generate that sick stuff with AI - even using models that have not been trained with real CSAI, but work in a "transfer" like approach. Where nobody is actually being harmed except for the viewer, I guess.

And if someone "uses" that... well that is still sick, but know what? I don't care.
