While this is definitely a crime, it's also similar to books where authors "fantasize" killing people, both are pretty much equally treated in the court of law in a lot of countries.

Full on prosecutions does feel like a thought crime in this case, but I strongly believe that these things should not be available on the internet anyway and to give platforms and authorities the power to treat this content the same way as CSAM when it comes to takedown requests.

I mean just look at steam 'rpg maker' games, they're absolutely horrifying when you realize that all of them have a patch that enables the NSFW which often includes themes of rape, csam and more.

I do not recommend anyone to go down this rabbit hole, but if you do not belive me: dlsite (use japanese vpn to view uncensored version). You have been warned.

"Definitely a crime" based on what? "I strongly believe that these things" who gets to decide what "these things" are?

They deemed it one right in the article so it is a crime, there is no questions about it.

The problem is that there's a bunch of these what you can call "entry" csam that people with mental issues are drawn to and having this all around the internet is definitely not doing anyone a favor especially the ones that are not right in the head. But you also have to take into account that a bunch of media also put "illegal content" in firms and books so what I was suggesting is to make this a properly recognized crime so there can't be any questions about it rather than "oh look there's people talking about murder in firms and books!!!".

I can make that same argument for people with other mental health issues and religious texts. Are we ok in making those also illegal?
