Like. Writing about how you want to kill people isn’t literally killing people therefore it’s fine right? Up until the moment you commit a crime, nothing you do or say can be held against you. Right?

I agree that action is more important than thought (especially since there are folks coming forward that they're attracted to CP but wish they weren't), but commissioning and sharing of CP is also an action and not just thought.
I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but I generally do agree with you there. But I *also* would have to add the caveat that *focusing on* ridding the community of cub porn - rather than pedophiles - is focusing in the wrong place, especially when Twitter mobs form over it.

I wish that I could agree with you on that (since pedophilia is the primary issue at hand), but CP being used as a tool for pedophiles to convince kids that sex is okay is still enough reason for me to be opposed to supporting it.
-
I'm not asking you to *support* it - I don't support it myself (I spoke out against allowing it on Furry Network when it was a startup). I'm saying that making it the focal point of the discussion will do more harm than good.
-
But in fact, FN is another great example of why this is a problem: I was unambiguously in favor of FN banning cub porn, which they did. But they also became *aggressive* about moderating any babyfur/ABDL art whatsoever, forcing mature/adult ratings on completely benign work.
-
Unless they were putting anything considered a kink under mature/adult ratings (including things like inflation without any sexual implication), I agree that's not the way to go about handling it.
-
In the rules, anything "considered a kink" was mature/adult, but the enforcement - in practice - was very unevenly stacked against babyfur artwork in particular (I know which images were flagged and which ones weren't). I don't think that was entirely Furry Network's doing, >>>
-
<<< because after all, they moderate based on community reports, but that, if anything, is a perfect example of why it is a problem for this to be a focal point.
-
In that case, I still feel that CP is worthwhile as a focal point, but also that ABDL/babyfur isn't inherently "bad," or a potential tool for abuse is also an important part of the current conversation.
-
From what I'm aware of and have seen (and I'm sure there's things I haven't seen), I have no reason to be opposed to ABDL/babyfur content, regardless of my personal taste, and I'm definitely opposed to folks pushing against it for that reason. But imo CP is its own separate issue

The whole thing with Tackle, for instance, is a case of something that was blown way out of proportion. The image of his in question was 1) not explicitly pornographic 2) not unambiguously "cub" even so It was taken that way because it was RT'd by an account that also shared CP.

Active sexual predators, then.
