(2,436 posts)41. I think we've debated the harm of the images alone.
That is why the images alone are regarded as contraband.
No camera or actual act of photography need be involved.
If you're found in possession of images, you're going away, yes?
Why?
Because of the claimed re-victimization of the original subject.
But also because of the potential harm from grooming new victims by showing them the images.
Potential harm from the images is the basis for lifelong incarceration.
So guns and ammo which actually kill and permanently injure children are indulged why?
The basis for treating one as abhorrent and intolerable and treating the other as nonetheless wholesome?
There can be no basis in reason.

A matter of credibility, shares- 'well-intentioned' deception is still deception.

Actually, it's a ludicrous analogy and an obvious appeal-to-emotion fallacy.
