There’s a nonzero chance oligarchs are pushing this to normalize pedophilla.

Like how Ghislane Maxwell was super involved in early reddit and their main draw for a long time was “legal” sexualization of children.

Especially since it’s a common accusation they make against “the left”. Most of the time when they accuse, it’s a confession.

pushing this to normalize pedophilla.

They don’t really need to manufacture how normalized pedophilia is in our society. They’re simply capitalizing on it.

Might already be capitalizing on it with the international sex trafficking of children. Surprised most people don’t know about shit pop or you call it hip hop.

Definitely are.

You think Epstein was the only one? You think he hasn’t already been replaced yet?

Wtf does that have to do with the price of eggs in China

Hell, I vividly remember the old /u/ViolentAcrez thing, and tons of users being butthurt when subs like /r/Jailbait, /r/CreepShots, and /r/Upskirting were taken down.

Fuck spez

Ok I was unaware of the Maxwell involvement

Other ads animated a photo of a 14-year-old Instagram influencer “showing off her new sports club uniform” into “a video of her performing oral sex.”

Ok that’s enough internet for now. Please alert me when it is safe to return.

Internet? That’s enough humanity. We had a… run. Time to burn it all down.

fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn't a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.

They say dictators don't need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.

At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.

That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.

The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.

FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.

That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.

It’s really not a small cabal of the ultrawealthy though.

That are trying to normalize AI nudifying apps usable on kids?

That are trying to normalize pedophilia.

I doubt that group would be very significant if it weren’t for the outsized influence of a handful of very wealthy, decadent men. At the very least there would be fewer roadblocks to doing something about the rest of the pervs.

fewer roadblocks to doing something about the rest of the pervs.

There are very few roadblocks for rapists as it is.

That’s what I said

When what passes for the leader of the “free world” is a spearhead for pedophilia it’s kind of a bit late to be safe talking about “normalizing” stuff.

Well yeah, that’s why it’s so silly to see comments about how these people at the top are trying to normalize it. It already is, they’re already in power, they’re not going anywhere.

Humanity’s fine if we ripped down these over-paid pedos instead of allowed them to run billion dollar scams…

Don’t wait standing

(I dont know if this translates, in argentina we day “get yourself a chair” or “don’t wait standing” meaning that something wont happen)

I think we say, “don’t hold your breath,” in English.

Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)

I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…

“Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”

… yeah, I like the chair one

Well I know what phrase I’m using at the next opportunity

When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao

It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”

It works. I’m going to start using it in fact.

The meaning of the idiom is remarkably clear in English. I propose we adopt this one.

Ah, in English we say “don’t hold your breath” for that, although sometimes it’s also used for things that might happen eventually but it will take a long time.

Better pull the plug on that bell, because “it’s here to stay”, some people says proudly.

no. there is like tons of porn from hot women who are fine making their money that way.

They aren’t running ads for CSAM because no one pays for it.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

The dirty secret that drives new technology: it’s porn

The Guardian, 24 years ago

I’m terrified to think of what Oppenheimer did with the first A-bomb then…

He unleashed his Little Boy all over Hir! (oshima)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core

The demon core was a sphere of plutonium–gallium alloy that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb.

Scientists referred to this flirtation with a nuclear chain reaction as “tickling the dragon’s tail”, based on a remark by physicist Richard Feynman.[12][13]

It was a case of an unfortunate mistranslation due to the lack of awareness among historians about the thriving scalie scene at the Manhattan Project.

“I am becum death, hnnnnnnngh!” --Oppenheimer

Why do I hear this quote in Mr. Regular voice?

That porn was one of the big drivers for home VHS and online payments.

That’s where the money is.

I don’t think it’s just a small amount of men who like preteens and teenagers. I would wager it’s most men. We’ve been imprisoning them for owning CP for decades now, yet the market is not shrinking. Various sources report CSAM is “exploding”…there’s been an increase of something like 70% of these websites in the past few years.

CP with younger kids is also growing. Hundreds of thousands of websites host this material in USA, not even counting dark web (and that’s just in the USA, only 20% of these sites are in USA).

How big is the market with those kind of numbers? I’m too stupid to figure it out, but I’d imagine that means many millions of men, tens of millions? It staggers the mind.

The internet has been fantastic in many ways, but it’s revealed what many men are like in private, and it’s a very ugly revelation.

Many, yes. A plurality, probably. I don’t know that it’s most, but given the widespread abandon of anything resembling ethics of any kind in modern society, I think the situation is a lot worse than anyone wants to admit. Contrary to the Christian pearl clutchers, I don’t think the moral decay has anything to do with religion, but there has been a moral decay, the call is just coming from inside the house more often than it is from outside.

Is also not exclusive to men.

Do you honestly believe that billions of people are paedophiles?

I don‘t want to live on this planet anymore.

Surprise! Nazis do not only exploit the marginalized, but also find and exploit weaknesses is ordinary people.

This title is projecting the actions of a minority of men to slander all men. This is bigotry.

FYI: You are arguing with what the CSAM ad says. That’s what the article is quoting here.

“Yes officer, that’s the guy” 🫵

Abolish Facebook

You know how in the movie Idiocracy they used " 'baitin" as a shock factor, and had all the woman characters be demeaned and sexualized?

Somehow, this is a lot worse.

This country hates its children. And all vulnerable people. We continually treat them as disposable, exploitable resources instead of people deserving of protection and care.

Today’s kids regularly have to rehearse finding cover from a hail of bullets at school, try to prepare themselves for an unlivable ecology, and wonder if any random picture of them will instantly be turned into porn via the new basis of our country’s economy. Capitalism is going great.
