Which still seems kinda dumb. How realistic is too realistic? You could make a legal standard of “photography-like”, or something, just to define who to convict, but you still haven’t really justified why.

The sentence in this case is just classes, though, so I’ll leave my pitchfork in the shed.

Did… Did you just ask; why creating photo-realistic sexually explicit material of real children, should be illegal?

Keep in mind these were other kids their age. We’re not talking about pedo stuff here.

All the recent stuff about deepfakes feels a bit moral-panic-y to me. I think we should have a better reason than just ick before anyone gets thrown in jail.

Do you want an explanation of why creating and sharing sexually explicit material of other people without consent is problematic and damaging, and especially for children?
