4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

It's not about consent. Porn in its usual context is sexual media people use to get off. With CSAM the main subject is children getting abused, the fact that pedophiles use it to get off is a secondary consideration.
The victim should take precedence in nomenclature.
So "child porn" which makes it clear the victim is the child should be fine?
Porn isn't something with a victim, it's something a person gets off to. Sexual abuse material is a picture with an abuse victim whether or not someone is getting off to it, because that's not the part that matters. It's not porn because the fact someone gets off to this picture isn't the important thing about it.
That's like if you called someone a cannibal was eating "human meat" .... Like no, meat is meant to be eaten as food, this is the "murdered remains of a person".
I don't even know if you're being serious at this point. The distinction should be pretty clear.
The distinction you are trying to make is clear, it's just not an actual current distinction in the English language.
You are inventing a part of the definition of pornography which says, "it does not have a victim" or alternatively, "the important thing about it is that someone gets off to it." You won't find that in any dictionary definition of porn, and the continued use of the term "child porn" shows that this is not how people use the word in practice.
So it's not that you're merely relating facts about terms. The only explanation is that this is a distinction you feel people ought to make. But compare it to other things:
You aren't going to convince anyone who doesn't think that child porn is that bad that is actually is, by instead insisting everyone call it CSAM. It's not the name that makes them think it's OK.
Everything you're saying is idiotically pedantic over distinctions that don't exist in reality.
