From a pragmatic point of view, I guess I agree, I’d much rather somebody use a piece of plastic than harm an actual child.
I’m not a sympathetizer, but I’m realistic. PDFs exist, and if there’s an outlet that can reduce harm to others, removing that because you simply find the imagery gross isn’t helping anything and you may actually be contributing to the problem.
At no point is there a choice between harming a child or a childlike doll. There is only the choice to facilitate pedophilia or to not, these things enable it. You have a fundamentally deranged concept that seems to try to frame this as “would you rather I rape a childlike doll or a real child?”. The appropriate response to that is violence.
Really? Those are the only choices? Who decided that?
You seem to hold yourself in very high esteem; you do realize that you are not the moral arbiter of the world, yes?
Simply eliminating the sale of dolls does nothing to deter pedophilia, the only thing it does is make people feel like they got a “win” against “the bad guys”.
Lemmy be like:
I can excuse childlike sex dolls, but I draw the line at AI.
What are you on about

This is a pretty nonsensical hill to die on.

Tbf the comments saying the dolls are ok have 1/3 the updates than the ones that say that banning them is good
Thankfully it is like that now. But earlier it was fucking scary. 60 upvotes to my downvote. This was the top comment:
This one is fresh right here in this thread:
Notice “the bad guys”
