I think the endgame is having a different understanding of privacy, modesty, etc. There's no way this is going to go away or be regulated away somehow. Heavy handed punishment of young kids who generate images just creates more problems (though I imagine we'll go through that phase). Eventually (in a generation or two) it will equilibrate and nobody will take the pictures seriously or be interested in making them. There's novelty now, it will go away.

I can't see any other realistic direction this will go.

I can’t see this happening. People have been saying this for a long time. On top of that, a lot of young girls are going to go through a lot of pain in the meantime - hoping for societal change seems negligent.

I'd take issue with the statement about no one taking them seriously or being interested in making them. It seems like a pedophiles dream.
