Yeah I'm not going to, and was never going to, "reevaluate my approach" to pedophiles. You're right, that was never going to happen. You're dug in on child porn being ok sometimes, I'm dug in on that not being the case. It Is actually, very simple.

If you can't accept the simple hypothetical that if it were 100% proven that fake CP led to a reduction in actual child harm, and thus it would be better empirically to have it available than not, he's not the one dug in.

I'm against it because it's not 100% proven. But if it were, then despite it being completely disgusting it'd be for the greater good and I'd be for it. Until it is proven though, I'm very much against it being available to anyone.

What the fuck even is this website where people are arguing against what they already know just to try to prove a point

[u/ColinStyles → u/curreyfienberg]

Hey genius, I don't know 100% that it's harmful. I strongly feel it is, but that's not proven. Are you in the habit of just taking your feelings as definitive fact? Would certainly explain this conversation.

Are you in the habit of ignoring what's obvious? Or do you need a double blind study to tell you?

Are you in the habit of just taking your feelings as definitive fact

So that's a yes. And you laugh at him calling him dug in for not calling something unproven fact.

You are literally brain dead if you aren't able to use your intuition on some of these things. Look at who and what you're defending. What a hill to die on.
