So I was reading something online, apparently all of us pedos love child pornography and want to make it so we can remember all the happy rape memories. We all also have hoards of the stuff lying around.
Well I don't. I believe that on the whole children can't consent (I think to say ALL children are incapable of consent is ridiculous, people age differently and are ready at different times, but most I would say would not be able to make an informed and independent decision) and I of course think that child abuse is wrong. Most pedos in fact do. There are some differing opinions on how young is too young, etc. but just like most ordinary people most pedos believe that rape is wrong (and won't do it).
Though on the subject of child pornography, different opinions on what is rape aside, is it ok to watch? I mean, what's done is done and by not watching it you are not un-raping the child. And as long as you aren't showing it back to them, your watching of it won't hurt them further will it? The producer will most likely do what he wants anyway, until they are physically stopped. So you aren't necessarily contributing, there is a big enough market out there. There is also the case of pedos who only want to watch what they view as consensual. Doesn't mean it is, but are they morally wrong for that?
However, for me, I do have a moral issue with it really. I won't go looking for it. I absolutely will not pay for it. I refuse to support and encourage the people who make it purposefully. I've also recently been thinking of a new reason - I'm thinking of the idea that doing so and not reporting it is wrong. Now I'm not sure how the reporting works, but I'm assuming it would involve telling them what you were doing at the time. I don't like lying really. Lies, especially about important things, tend to spiral and get too big.
I have actually seen 3 items of CP in my lifetime so far. None of them intentionally. The first one I was looking for something or the other (I forget what it was now) and I downloaded a video that turned out to be CP. I won't go into details for obvious reasons. Before you think that I downloaded it on purpose, it involved a boy, which is not my thing. The second and third I received links to pictures. One of them I knew was going to be CP when I clicked it, though I certainly wasn't looking for anything. Again it involved a boy (I didn't know that when I clicked it as far as I can recall). I suppose I clicked it to see what the fuss was all about, but also... Whilst I am strong enough to resist looking for it and to abstain from harming anyone, I am human. The third one I didn't know what it was when I clicked it.
Did I report this? Well, the first one was when I was younger than I am now, I'm not sure how old, I didn't really know what was what law wise. The second and third, I can honestly say the thought of reporting this stuff didn't even cross my mind until very recently, as I say I haven't had much contact with CP, so I haven't actually thought on it. Though neither picture could possibly have lead anyone to find anything anyway, so reporting it would have been useless. Then you have the final reason, and one of the ways the massive "OMG PEDO" hysteria only serves to hurt children. Why would I report something that would likely immediately bring me under suspicion, both within the community and from the police, especially considering I am indeed a pedo, so I could be in some real trouble, even though I had nothing to do with the images. Especially when it is likely the police would not even bother/be able to pursue it. I would also ask how many people would report that stuff, rather than just brush it off out of fear.
Long story short I do not search for CP. I believe it is immoral. I certainly do not have a collection.
However, I believe I have a way, that in a more tolerant world, may help to eradicate commercially produced child pornography. Not all CP ever made, but the stuff that is done for profit. I believe that if there was a government run system the stored all of the child pornography confiscated from individuals and legalise the viewing of it from that government source then there would be absolutely no need for anyone to buy it. CP would become unprofitable, which would mean that much much fewer children would be harmed by the production of it. You wouldn't get these CP rings with the systematic abuse of young children being intensely profitable, because people could go to a site where they are not in danger, and satisfy their urges without having to encourage the producers to make more and more. Before someone says, there have been no studies which demonstrate a link between porn and sexual crime. Or the viewing of child porn with the viewer committing child abuse. Show me a pedo fapping to CP and I'll show you a pedo not raping a child, as they say. I also believe if society changed so that it wasn't as hysterical as it is, then the continued damage to any children appearing would be minimised if not eradicated. No-one would make them watch it again (maybe there could be safeguards to make sure people who shouldn't access it don't), and the child would not feel as ashamed about it's being out there because society doesn't make the whole thing into hysteria.
Please note: It's only ideas, I don't realistically expect it to happen and more research would have to be done, with data not simply taken from society as it is now, before I decide if it's realistic.
And to finish off, I would like to point out that actually a good number of the people who do watch child pornography are in fact, not paedophiles. There are those that watch it because it's illegal, there are those who watch it just because, who are not pedos. We are not the only culprits. Apparently they don't have the same views as me, and will even collect it.
I guess this is all for now. I will say that whilst I have a moral problem with looking for it, I can sympathise with those who simply can't do without and if anything you can do that will help you not abuse, then do it. However, I still won't condone those who pay for it, they are directly encouraging the production and are funding the abuse of children.
Later.
