It is. It’s not the preferred term for that stuff anymore. But anyone who’s been seeing that used as the abbreviation for all those years before they came up with CSAM is going to recognize it as that.
An acronym for “Child Rape Media” would be CRM, possibly pronounced “kerm” or “krum.” Either way, it wouldn’t even be the correct initialism, since those aren’t even the same letters as “CP.”
It absolutely does not. This is what absolutely drives me fucking crazy about this, that not a single person who makes this assertion has actually looked up the definition.
CSAM is more accurate as H2O is more accurate instead of water or NaCl is for salt. Doesn’t mean that you have to use it, and when the word pornography is used after the word child, everyone who is sane should know that it’s wrong
If you pretend not to understand how acronyms works in order to signal that you believe all CP is abuse, that makes it seem like maybe you don’t actually think all CP is abuse. A “the lady doth protest too much” situation.
Nowadays CP is deprecated since pornography implies consent, and as you have already implied kids legally can’t you are right in saying that it’s rape, but also it can’t be pornography. Anyway, the modern term is CSAM, children sexual abuse material.
There is nothing about consent in the definition of the term “pornography”. “CP” doesn’t imply thinking it is okay, and “CSAM” is for virtue-signaling losers who probably also correct “homeless” to “unhoused” because they think that’s the same thing as helping.
I think the main issue is that CP kind of normalizes it and associates it with regular porn while CSAM makes it clear how bad it is.
I do mostly agree that it doesn’t really matter much which is used and unhoused does annoy me a bit. It’s bothersome being corrected I guess but it’s nothing to get mad about either tbh.
Literally noone in the history of the world thinks that you can normalise child porn by calling it child porn. But some people, faced with the difficulty of making a real difference, seize in the only thing they feel they can control: other people’s language.
Because firstly, while they can talk how they like as long as it makes sense, they want to demonstrate how pure and holy they are by berating everyone not offering their edicts. And secondly because the literal meaning doesn’t cover everything they want to apply it to. Drawn child porn is not “child sexual assault material” but they still want to use the same term, because for them purity tests are more important than making sense.
I think you are looking too deep into it. All I know is that experts who have made it their life’s work catching predators want us to use CSAM and think it might have an effect, I’m not going to give people grief over using it.
And for any unaware
SA can mean Sexual Assault
CP is sometimes used as an acronym for Child Rape Media but I don’t think its very fitting, personally.
Another Acronym thats better is CSAM but honestly why are we even abbreviating it at all?
I thought “CP” was “Child Pornography”

Thats what I said

Are there really people dumb enough who think CP implies that the children consented to that?
I think CP is a simpler and clearer term than CSAM.
My advice is to know when to cut losses. If they don’t mean harm then just don’t reply to them, if they do mean harm then report them.
Good call
Then they could have said that. That’s literally not what they said.

Now would it be a CP or a CSAM in the case of the video of children consentingly doing it between themselves?
Basically every teenage couple…
All Child Pornography is Child Rape Media, so CP is an acronym for it.
A difference without distinction.
Its just not how acronymns work
But it is how synonyms work.
Don’t feed the egos, they get off on people agreeing with their semantic bullshit.
Another shit take from xi poopy pants pooh jinping
?

The ones advocating for it are child protection agencies, not randos on the internet with no control.
I found it annoying as well at first but it’s easy to get used too. I don’t see the harm in it.

Nobody is labeling lolicon stuff as csam.

I always just assumed CSAM was people trying to exclude illustrated kiddie porn from the definition since no sexual assault takes place.
I believe the A stands for abuse
Ok, same applies.
Boy I sure hope any porn I see was consensual, else it isn’t porn but an illegal rape video wtf.
I mean, yes that’s what it would be if it’s not consensual? Major self-report here, bud.
Do you ever wonder if the porn actor filming with a smile, might secretly be a hostage, and you might be getting off to someone being raped?
Well, I at least I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
