    How about addressing my points instead of the ad hominem attacks?

    That is addressing your point. These people need to get psychological help.

    If you stop “feeding” being straight, gay, whatever, does it just go away and you no longer have those sexual desires? I doubt it.

    The harms brought by conversion therapy to the gay and straight people outweigh the harms that are brought about by allowing them to exist. The same is not true of pedophilia. Though it is interesting if you do see these as the same, are you for the persecution of gay or straight people as you are pedophiles, or are you in favour of pedophiles being able to enact their desires?

    Much as we might hate it that some people do have those urges, it’s the reality. Pretending reality doesn’t exist usually doesn’t work out well.

    It is the reality, and pretending people will just safely keep their desires to themselves has proven to not work.

    I never said any such thing.

    I never said you said it, but it is the result of what you’re saying.

    we’re also talking about images that resemble children

    Since you’re drawing this distinction from the words you decided were thrust in your mouth, they weren’t, would you say “it’s okay to beat off to children who may not exist”?

    It should be very clear to anyone reading I’m not defending any kind of abuse

    You’re outwardly expressing pedophile apologia.

    Or we could give up our rights “for the children” in a way that doesn’t actually help them at all.

    What rights are you giving up?

      What help do you think exists for these people? And what if CG porn is that help

        Psychologists.

        There’s no evidence that CSAM, real or virtual, helps reduce rates of child predation.

          There’s no evidence that CSAM, real or virtual, helps reduce rates of child predation.

          Assuming this is true (it’s not), that doesn’t mean it should be banned. Video games don’t reduce rates of violence, or child predation. Should those be banned too?

            (it’s not)

            I’d love if you could cite your evidence.

            I never said I had evidence. I specifically said there was no evidence. The claim presented is that it’s beneficial, and thte burden of proof lies with the claim.

              And what if CG porn is that help

              That’s not claiming it is benefical. It’s entertaining the idea that what if it is.

                Then that can be decided by psychologists. It’s funny you keep insisting on calling it “CG porn” though when it’s abjectly and legally child pornography.
