You have got to stop referring to video games, fiction, drawings, etc. as "CSAM."

This defeats the entire purpose of the term "CSAM" (child sexual abuse material) which is that it's material of a child being sexually abused. The term was coined by anti-CSAM advocates because this material was being called "child porn," and it's not "porn." "Porn" generally refers to fiction, and CSAM is not fiction. It's real footage of real children being really abused.

"CSAM" is to "child abuse" as "snuff film" is to "murder." It is real filmed violence against a real human person. Games/drawings/fiction depiction child abuse as a plot point in a work of fiction are to child abuse as, e.g., murder mysteries are to murder. It's a fictional story in a fictional medium. No real human people are harmed in its production. You can argue -- and many people do -- about whether the fictional depiction "sends a bad message" or whatever, but it is not, literally, a snuff film or CSAM.

Referring to fiction as "CSAM" not only needlessly gives cover to moral panic and censorship; it also completely dilutes the harm of CSAM. The harm of CSAM is not that it's morally bad media that sends a bad message. The harm is that real human people are abused in its production.

we live in a world where most peple unfortunately are idealists and therefore think and act in idealist ways, but ultimately we do live in materialism world. imagine if we did live in idealism world though. imagine a world where the catefories of man and woman are true and immutable and exist independent of any society's conception of the family; where the family itself is not a form of property relation that changes drastically depending on mode of production, but something that was declared by god to be holy and set in stone. pure nightmare world and yet many people think that's just how shit works.

RNN | The IOF admitted to deliberately striking Civil Defense crews at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis while they were rescuing survivors from a prior strike. The IOF claimed they targeted a "Hamas camera" near the Civil Defense crews bombed on live television.

The IOF stated that they "under no circumstances direct attacks at journalists." 5* journalists filming the rescue were martyred alongside one Civil Defense officer and 15 other martyrs. 245* journalists have been martyred since October 2023, the highest rate in any war ever.

[…]

*Journalist Hassan Douhan ascended to martyrdom after being shot by the IOF in Mawasi Khan Younis.

He is the 6th journalist martyred in the Gaza Strip today. His cold-blooded killing came after he mourned his journalist colleagues martyred in the Nasser Hospital massacre.

246 journalists have ascended to martyrdom in the Gaza Strip.

If a foundational pillar of your sense of the world and understanding of economics and modernity relies on the belief that the Peoples' Republic of China has engaged in the largest, most sophisticated, most totalizing case of record falsification in world history, to the extent that they devote all of their resources to preventing scenes of the "real" state of the common people from getting out like some kind of fucking Borges novel instead of the much simpler conclusion that the patterns of development comprised by Socialism with Chinese Characteristics has been largely successful in its stated aims of modernization and improvement of living standards, then you must concede that you've completely given up on rational thought or any sort of politics based off of empiricism or rationality.

where's that post about how tumblr users will read something and reach the exact opposite conclusion

Prosecutors charged the musician, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer, the District Attorney’s Office said. The rapper was initially booked on suspicion of misdemeanour obstructing an officer on Thursday.

He is set to be arraigned later on Monday. Police said officers found the 26-year-old walking naked on Ventura Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in the Studio City area, shortly before 6am on Thursday (August 21).

They say he charged at the officers when confronted and was arrested.

Police, suspecting a possible overdose, took him to a hospital where he spent several hours before being taken to jail, where he has remained since. It has since been reported that Hill was wearing briefs and white cowboy boots at the time of his arrest.

Should be stated that there, to my knowledge, has not been any conclusive evidence released to the public that Lil Nas X engaged in violent behavior against a cop or was under the influence at the time. It should also be a given that we don't have any footage of X being nude in public, unless we're operating under some semantic/legal definition of nudity that includes "being in public only in underwear" where one's genitals are not exposed.

liberals will be like "ugh im sick of leftists purity testing every candidate it's so stupid to refuse to vote for someone just because they disagree with you on one thing" and the one thing you disagree on will be whether you should be raped in a men's prison

Since Gavin Newsom thinks trans people’s brains aren’t developed enough to transition until 25, I wonder what that means about the fact that he dated a 19 year old when he was 36. Kinda sounds like you think she wasn’t developed enough to consent to be with you Gav
