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.

Literally noone in the history of the world thinks that you can normalise child porn by calling it child porn. But some people, faced with the difficulty of making a real difference, seize in the only thing they feel they can control: other people’s language.
Grimy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The ones advocating for it are child protection agencies, not randos on the internet with no control.
I found it annoying as well at first but it’s easy to get used too. I don’t see the harm in it.

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

I believe the A stands for abuse

Ok, same applies.

Boy I sure hope any porn I see was consensual, else it isn’t porn but an illegal rape video wtf.

I mean, yes that’s what it would be if it’s not consensual? Major self-report here, bud.

Do you ever wonder if the porn actor filming with a smile, might secretly be a hostage, and you might be getting off to someone being raped?
Well, I at least I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

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.

It absolutely does not. This is what absolutely drives me fucking crazy about this, that not a single person who makes this assertion has actually looked up the definition.

Then they could have said that. That’s literally not what they said.

Now would it be a CP or a CSAM in the case of the video of children consentingly doing it between themselves?

All Child Pornography is Child Rape Media, so CP is an acronym for it.
MycelialMass@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Its just not how acronymns work

Nowadays CP is deprecated since pornography implies consent, and as you have already implied kids legally can’t you are right in saying that it’s rape, but also it can’t be pornography. Anyway, the modern term is CSAM, children sexual abuse material.

If you pretend not to understand how acronyms works in order to signal that you believe all CP is abuse, that makes it seem like maybe you don’t actually think all CP is abuse. A “the lady doth protest too much” situation.
