Just as one example
I take core arguments of traditionalism as axioms, there are no arguments around it
People would be free to leave my state if they want

Public nudity as I see it likely won't cause any problems besides offending some people
Ever wondered why it would offend those people?
Cause they're against freedom of expression?
No
"no"
Expression for me, not for thee
Are you pro Child Porn
No
Why are you against Freedom of Expression?
Pornography requires consent. Children can't consent.
Are you pro CP that is not made using any children, but is generated using, say, AI?
If it's not sold or otherwise distributed but kept privately, I don't see a problem with it
That’s a oof
Why are you against the Free Market?
We can't test every single file for authenticity, children require added layers of protection.
That's why we make blanket rules for them, and for others, to protect them.
No we can't, the amount of fakes flooding the market would be insurmountable.
But hold on
Let’s say we can
Moreover, the consumption of CP itself doesn't violate your standards @ETBrooD
Just as a hypothetical
The private consumption of CP can be tolerated, since I don't want to make pedo lives miserable, I just want to protect children.
Distill the art from the method, then it seems you are fine with it
Yes, as I expected
The problems arise when we lose the ability to protect children
It's not about punishing pedos, it's about protecting children
This has priority
It is about the degeneracy of the art form itself
Degeneracy in a vacuum is not harmful
Well while I have no personal problems with tormenting pedophiles, pragmatically we should still lock them up. Their a lose end that can attack children and have the motivation to do so
Protecting children is a bigger issue of course, but private matters also effects the society at large
Through civic order
No they don't affect society at large, that's a lie
Of course it does
I wouldn’t say a lie
It does not
