  I thought “CP” was “Child Pornography”

      An acronym for “Child Rape Media” would be CRM, possibly pronounced “kerm” or “krum.” Either way, it wouldn’t even be the correct initialism, since those aren’t even the same letters.

        All Child Pornography is Child Rape Media, so CP is an acronym for it.

      There is nothing about consent in the definition of the term “pornography”. “CP” doesn’t imply thinking it is okay, and “CSAM” is for virtue-signaling losers who probably also correct “homeless” to “unhoused” because they think that’s the same thing as helping.

        I think the main issue is that CP kind of normalizes it and associates it with regular porn while CSAM makes it clear how bad it is.

        I do mostly agree that it doesn’t really matter much which is used and unhoused does annoy me a bit. It’s bothersome being corrected I guess but it’s nothing to get mad about either tbh.

        I always just assumed CSAM was people trying to exclude illustrated kiddie porn from the definition since no sexual assault takes place.

    It is. It’s not the preferred term for that stuff anymore. But anyone who’s been seeing that used as the abbreviation for all those years before they came up with CSAM is going to recognize it as that.
