I’m talking (mostly) out of my ass here, but it’s probably because calling them “child sex dolls” might be seen to normalize the concept of sex with children. Since AI child porn is illegal, makes sense that a child sex doll is, too.

edit: Looks like there’s a thing in Australian law where they are legally considered sexual abuse material.

I don’t think either of us are saying it should happen. It was more of a tongue in cheek joke about how paedophiles are being used to justify censorship, identity politics and restrict freedoms.

I’m too lazy to look it up at the moment but some governments were looking into ways to tag everything made on a 3D printer so it could be traced back to an owner, but that was because of ghost guns. I don’t agree with that, either.

This is a good point. I used to share a studio with an entrepreneur who 3D scanned people’s parts to make home printed molds for custom candles.

Where did you find these wolves? So I can avoid them.

With manufacturing becoming more decentralized it’s only a matter of time before people can print their own.

It’ll probably be used as a reason to license and monitor 3D printers.

Don’t get me started on paedo bait anime.

I used to help moderate a porn app, had to leave for my own sanity. Got hard to tell if I was blocking legit perverts or people so isolated and brain rotted they forgot what an adult woman was supposed to look like. Too much darkness either way.

More information from Australia, if anyone’s as morbidly curious as I was. Do not click unless you crave depression.
