MODERATORS
There are communities on NSFW Lemmy where people intentionally present as children engaged in sexual abuse scenarios. They're adults and this is their kink that everyone is supposed to tolerate and pretend is ok.
See defederation drama over the last couple of days. What I'm saying is, the hashtags mean nothing.
then what's the problem?
No, that admin lied about the community
If you are referring to the community that was cited as the reason for defederation, this is completely false. The community in question is
adorableporn, extremely similar to the subreddit of the same name. No one, in any manner, in either community, presents as a child. While yes, the women that post there tend to be on the shorter and thinner side, calling short, thin adults 'children' is not being honest.To be clear, this community is about petite women. This community is NOT about women with a kink to present as a child.
And what of all the other bait communities? Come on. It's not ok.
What other bait communities? We can't just accept "think of the children" as an excuse. That doesn't work.
Yes, no one wants actual CSAM to show up in their feed, we can all completely agree on that. But just because some middle-aged woman can't tell the difference between a 20 year old and a 15 year old, doesn't make images of the 20 year old CSAM.
