People would see him speak and not understand a damned word he said.

It's not like Chomsky understood anything he was saying outside of linguistics.

How do you explain Bucha or Mariupol?

Do Americans really drink that slowly?

Why say sexual abuse material images, which is grammatically incorrect, instead of sexual abuse images, which is what you mean, and shorter?

Sorry. To address your two points, where did people get the idea that the word porn implies artistic merit or consent? It simply means material intended to sexually excite people. Is that meaning not important to retain as it's the difference between what we consider CSAM and a picture of your kid in the tub?

CP can stand for a lot of things but it's common parlance now. CSAM just causes confusion.

Also really? Now you're stooping to the old "why so mad bro?". You're the one having a meltdown, I'm wasting time at work by sharing an opinion.

"I'm mad you're right so let me compare you to a hateful right wing grifter and also by the way, you're wrong because all my friends say so."

It may shock you but a handful of Lemmy users doesn't constitute the linguistic consensus you're trying to inherit here.

You're right. It can be images, that's exactly why saying "this man was found in possession of child abuse material images" does not make grammatical sense. It's why CP still defines it better as we're not arresting people for owning copies of Lolita, which you could argue is also CSAM.

the majority of people disagree with you.

The majority of people can be wrong.
