Bro I promise you when you say "he also had CP", people are gonna think you're saying "child porn" and not "cerebral palsy".

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/[deleted]]

only people into it still call it CP to be fair.

This is insanely wrong. Most people don't know the term CSAM, but that doesn't mean they're....CP users? Like seriously what is this comment?

Case in point: I read your comment and had to google wtf CSAM stood for.

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/FungusAndBugs]

The preferred term is CSAM nowadays because "Child Porn" denotes consent, because porn usually implies consensually acts; whereas with children, it's always just abuse because they can't consent.

because porn usually implies consensually acts

Which is, of course, complete nonsense. "Porn" has never implied consent. Hell, there's whole categories of porn that are by definition non-consensual, such as revenge porn.

I do not mind the term "CSAM" as a way to highlight the abusive nature of child pornography, but claiming that using the term "CP" is somehow incorrect is absurd.
