You have to draw the line somewhere, and personally I'm happy with childlike sex dolls being on the other side of that line same with AI generated CSAM, there doesn't need to be a victim for it to be disgusting.
Disgusting for sure but thats a really bad argument to make something illegal. It’s the same rhetoric used to ban queer sexualities.
The generative stuff is often based on real stuff and regularly ends up being deepfakes of real people who are affected, thats not victimless.
That's the main justification for banning homosexuality as well.
While true, adults can consent, children cannot.
Not a single person here is advocating for having sex with kids.
Are you seriously comparing pedophilia with homosexuality?
You seriously need to take a good look at your life dude.
Are you seriously going to dodge every single hole people have poked in your flawed reasoning by redirecting attention to the person themselves - questioning their moral purity or hidden motives? Because that's literally all you've done here so far.
Some disgusting things are quite legal. And have real victims.
I'm not sure why you would focus on illegalizing something disgusting that's victimless.
"there are worse things that are legal" is a pretty terrible argument.
