The funny thing is, they are not only shamed for having these urges, they are punished for trying to fight their urges.

Like, if you are a pedophile, and want to have a fap material to keep your sex drive low, it will get you in prison. You will also lose all friends, and your mom will make a post on reddit saying she wants you to die. Nice.

Criminalizing CP made it so. hard to find that it's just easier to go and molest a real kid.

the children in CP ARE "real children". are you actually making an argument for the legalization of child porn?

It's already shot, destroying the footage helps no one. I totally support tracking the author and cutting his balls off, but downloading CP is a victimless crime.

A child is revictimized every time those pictures are shared.

Yeah, because he somehow senses every HTTP request, even in his sleep.

We allow gore, we allow /r/watchpeopledie, just for amusement. We don't care what the family of the people who died think about it.

If decriminalizing CP will reduce abuse of other children, I'm all for it.

A child is victimized when those pictures are taken.

Honestly, it seems like at least in some cases child is victimized by people telling him he was victimized
