I wish I was as composed as you. You're still calmly explaining things to that dumb fuck, while they move the goalposts back and forth:

first they lie I was saying there were no victims;
then they backpedal and say "It doesn’t matter if there’s a victim or not. It’s the depiction of CSA that is illegal.";
then they backpedal again and say what boils down to "talking about morals bad! Also I'll talk about MY morals. I don't see moral difference when people are harmed and when they're not" (inb4 I'm abridging it)

All of that while they're still pretending to argue the same point. It reminds me a video from the Alt-Right Playbook, called "never play defence": make dumb claim, waste someone else's time expecting them to rebuke that dumb claim, make another dumb claim, waste their time again, so goes on.

Its good training for arguing with real life people at least. Because coming up with a good comeback quickly is hard when you have never formulated your thoughts about a subject properly. I think often people misunderstand things at first and then when someone points out their mistake, they realize that they were wrong, but dont want to admit it, so they just double down. I have been that person before too tho...
