    Doing this to real photos of specific people is already a crime, especially if they’re children. That’s been true since you had to use scissors and paste.

    But there’s a lot of awful shit you can’t do for real that you’re still free to describe, or draw, or render. Even photorealistic fiction is still imaginary. We could easily say it’s super illegal to post such images online - but it’s fundamentally not the same kind of thing as inappropriate behavior toward a living human child. It’s made-up.

        Fuck off.

        If no amount of ‘it can still be a crime’ is enough to stop people from lobbing accusations, you’re just reactionaries demanding censorship of the discussion of things that are already super illegal.
