If the perverts can find solace in viewing pics, and they never do any harm to any child, why do we need to get our knickers so twisted about that?
There is no comparison between mere possession of a large collection of pics, and causing actual harm to an actual child. Of course, anyone who actually does harm to a child, they must pay for that. But if we are going to set fire to someone, let that someone be someone who has committed very real harm to a real child.
I regard the difference between possessing child porn and molesting a child, as, more or less, the same as the difference between possessing "normal" porn and committing "normal" rape. The one is perfectly harmless, while the other is a huge criminal offence carrying very harsh penalties.
You are sick.
It would certainly have been possible for you to object to vigilante justice without in any way defending child pornography, its consumers, and by extension its distributors and its producers.
But you didn't go for that argument. You tried to argue that child pornography is no worse than regular pornography. You did that in part with a specious claim that real pornography always and only depicts raping women, and thus is no worse than pornographic images of children being raped.
What is obviously missing from your soul is the understanding that sex between men and women is supposed to be consensual, and that there are lots of women who consent to making porn, and to engaging in the real sex acts depicted in mainstream porn.
No child ever consented to have sex on film for child pornography. No child can consent to that, child pornography always and only depicts non consensual sex.
(Let's leave aside teenagers sexting pictures to their boyfriends, an admittedly troubling grey area. Consent is not possible in examples of young children being molested by adults on camera.)
Child pornography is associated with a greater probability of child abuse. Regular porn is associated with a greater probability of having consensual sex. Child pornography is produced by raping and abusing children. Regular porn is produced by two adults having consensual sex.
Not the same, sicko.
