Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, jailed after transforming normal pictures of children into sexual abuse imagery

Before the “Well they’re just fictional images, so what’s the harm?” brigade shows up (hopefully we left them on Reddit), he was using photographs of real children. People would send him photos of children they knew in their personal lives who they wanted to see in sexual abuse situations and he would create the images. He was also convicted of encouraging the men he was talking to to rape children in real life.
Yes, that’s clearly sexual abuse of actual children.
You know that’s different from fiction - right? Like it’s fundamentally worse than a drawing, because it’s fundamentally different from a drawing?
You mean to tell me there’s nuance here? I want my morality to be black and white! Thinking is hard and I don’t want to do it.
I feel like we’re agreeing but for some reason you’re mad about it.
Because I wasn’t sure, the way your comment comes out swinging.
Too many threads like this feature people who are convinced that corporate models were trained on hyper-illegal pornography (with accurate human labeling!) or that the absence of real human persons is no excuse. Like they’re not clear why this specific thing is as illegal as possible.
They always say it’s for creating the images, but it’s always actually for distributing the images.
wouldn’t it be funny if we reintroduced the death penalty for pedos and rapists worldwide
The state cant be trusted with the death penalty.
Vigilantes then? /s
Too bad false conviction happens literally all the time.
uh oh I didn’t know this was a pedo instance
imagine defending pedophile rapists
It would be a welcome change, i wouldnt call it funny per say.
