  We’re not talking about pedo stuff here.

  Do you want an explanation of why creating and sharing sexually explicit material of other people without consent is problematic and damaging, and especially for children?

    Yes.

    I can see why we’d prohibit it, but somehow doing it in writing without involving the subject is pretty accepted (see: every fanfiction involving characters played by a specific real actor), and mentally doing it is like an informal human right.

    I’m honestly not trying to be obtuse here. It seems arbitrary to me. People have pictured me in all kinds of horrifying situations, I’m sure (probably more violent then sexy, but still). I’m not bothered, nor would I be if they made a collection of depictions (unless they sent some to me).

      They shared sexually explicit images in whatsapp groups. You consider that similar to having personal thoughts nobody will know of or written stories?

      “were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence.”

      Have you dismissed this quote? I don’t don’t know where to start explaining how it’s different from what you described because of how far off it is. I have no idea where the baseline is to argue from.

      Humans are a social creature. We form groups, and want to be part of groups. Teens are especially vulnerable with a developing personality, social norms, and social belonging. Breaking norms and violating common personal barriers and control of self-expression and self-presentation is deeply violating in a vulnerable phase of life.
