I'm not brave enough at the moment to say it isn't some kind of crime, but creating such images (as opposed to spamming them everywhere, using them for blackmail, or whatever) doesn't seem to be a crime that involves any victims.
My bigger concern is the normalization of and exposure to those ideas and concepts (sexualization of children). That’s also why I dislike loli/shota media, despite it being fictional.
That said, I still think it’s a much better alternative to CSAM and especially to actually harming a child for those who have those desires due to trauma or mental illness. Though I’m not sure if easy, open access is entirely safe, either.
For "normalisation of sexualisation of children" go ask the people organizing child beauty pageants.
So you agree? It shouldn't be produced because it can be used to normalise the sexualisation of children or even groom them.
I didn't say that I agree, I just pointed out that there are way more prominent ways this sexualisation is done.
I also don't agree with the headline of the article that this kind of pictures will somehow "flood" the internet. It might flood their hidden nieches for being cheap and plentiful, but I don't think they will pop up increasingly in any normal users everyday browsing activities.
