discussion If you could say anything to world leaders, politicians, or lawmakers who restrict or ban certain fictional adult genres, what would you tell them?

In my case, since I can't draw, I’d commission an artist to draw all of the politicians pregnant.

I’d tell them the truth! “It’s just a drawing”

I mean... AI can do that pretty easily and quickly. How much are you commited to this revolution?

Probably wouldn't tell them anything, but I would ask "why?". I would honestly want to have the dialog about what they think it will achieve and hopefully lead them down a path where they come to the conclusion on their own that censorship is pointless.

Well, it’s because it’s easier to arrest artists and people who consume drawings than people hiding behind layers of encryption. A lot of us here don’t even bother with a basic VPN.
They go after people who watch drawings as an example to show society they’re doing something with their cheap populism, winning votes to get reelected, and resources that should be going to real victims are just being wasted. And worst of all, they know it.

Depends on what they want to restrict.

The courts have ruled that AI generated realistic CSAM is illegal because it's too difficult to distinguish from the real thing, which is fair. Nobody got hurt creating it (barring the whole "AI is boiling the oceans and dumping carbon into the atmosphere issue), but it makes it damn near impossible to enforce laws to actually protect children. And I agree with this ruling.

There are those who want to restrict artistic representations - I.E. loli content - I would simply ask if they have any evidence that it is harmful. It's not going to be mistaken for actual child exploitation materials, so they don't need to worry about law enforcement distinguishing it. So unless there are studies showing that it can lead non-offenders to harm children, or can be used to make children more vulnerable, why are you banning it apart from the "ick factor"?

If they want to ban porn in general, I just want to ask if it's their pastor or their donors telling them to do it, and ask why they hate free speech.

[pikxmon12]

Why don't you add a law that forces you to show what you have in your mansion or private island?

 

[Lizzy]

LOL They don't listen

 

[0aaab1]

"How was the island?"

 

[MattShizzle]

To go die. Preferably in a painful manner.

 

[drpslvt]

Hands off, if no one was harmed in making to then it should be allowed to be enjoyed

 

[edgat]

I only have a question to our dear politics: "what the hell are you thinking?"

 

[BigEffinPerv]

I'd just say; the world is not your playground and its people are not your toys. Leave us in peace.

 

[Alistoriia]

Probably something along the lines of "Better a drawing than an actual person"

 

[slide4accsff]

"Only restrict that which you haven't seen yourself", I bet there would almost no restrictions at all.

 

[Deleted member 233302]

This won't wash away the horrors that you have actually done.

 

[Deleted member 229167]

What harm is brought to what is computer generated? Or ink and paper? It makes no sense.
