Well there's the glaringly obvious fact that police recovered seven additional images and were able to associate them to girls or women from the school. How is that possible if this is all an exercise of "imagination?" These people aren't imagined they're real. These images aren't imagined they're real. Imagination doesn't come into play at all here. By your standard, any picture whether taken with a camera or generated with AI is fake too. A picture of you couldn't be real because you're standing right there not trapped inside of this computer! It's pure nonsense.
You didn't "honestly acknowledge" this until being called out for dancing around it in a weak attempt at bolstering your argument.
Once again, any picture whether captured with a camera or generated with AI is a "fictitious illustration" by your ridiculous standards.
Oh really? So you think anyone can take nude photos of children and it doesn't count as CSAM just so long as they don't touch them? Someone could take photos through a kid's bedroom window and it's all good because they're not being touched and may not even know about the photo? Alternatively, someone could take photos of a child and then make their hair purple in Photoshop and suddenly its no longer CSAM because the photos have been "doctored" and are now "fake" right? Thats not how any of this works.
Wow, so now not only do you think all CSAM should be legal because all images are fake, but also because the victims arent legal scholars? Now you're effectively arguing that no victim of any crime should be considered a victim unless they've attended law school first.
Tell me, are you a legal scholar? If not, why the double standard between you and these adolescent victims? You say they need to be legal scholars in order for their opinions to matter while not holding yourself to the same standard.
They do, and here you are trying to argue the complete opposite with arguments such as "someone could imagine this black circle as a child's face therefore CSAM isn't real."
You're disgusting and a perverted moron and I'm done with you.
