Just because you aren't affected doesn't mean it is no problem. This isn't needlessly pedantic, it just shows your ignorance and idiocy.
Not even close. Giving it a new name doesn't magically fix the problem. Join the real world, no matter what name you give something, it's still the same thing.
If I really wanted to seek some sort of discrepancy in the way its being named I'd argue youre changing the name so you can one day defend yourself by calling your noncey stash "legitimate" and therefore it is abuse material.
All in all, who gives a fuck what name its got. It's pure, unadulterated idiocy to think abused children are hurting because of the fact us non-abusers call it child porn and not sexual abuse material.
Edward Bernays would disagree on the lack of power of words.
Do you have an ad deal for this book or something? Bernays can eat a bag of dicks, this is case where the name doesn't matter. The concept of it is always bad full stop. There's no need to be pedantic. Honestly, I feel calling it CSAM could be detrimental because I didn't know what that stood for before this thread. If I had just seen a post with "CSAM" in the title, I would have scrolled right on by because it meant nothing to me. Everyone knows what CP is and everyone knows it's disgusting.
Nope. But he's the father of modern propaganda. Doesn't really matter if you agree with him, you've been influenced by him and you wouldn't have known it (me, too. Everyone). The thing is, CP is only disgusting if you're right in the head. Many people aren't. They see it as exciting child porn, when it's abuse (you see it as abuse, I see it as abuse, they see it as porn). The term change is a type of rebranding. I didn't know what CP stood for until a few months ago, when they started talking about CSAM on tv and radio. Before then, I would have seen CP on this post and would have scrolled past. Being concerned with formal rules is the basis of our society, what brands CSAM as 'abuse material' and not 'child pornography'.
