Took longer than I expected.
that didn’t take long, at all. wasn’t it introduced, like, a few days ago?
I’m surprised it took this long to be honest.
I mean… yeah. What were they thinking?!
rule 34
As soon as they announced it, people dove head first into that degeneracy.
tbh most of what I saw from artists were memes or wholesome drawings, compared to something like a video game character getting announced.
That mascot is a child. Please don’t make porn of fictional children even if you disagree with the politics or religion of that fictional child you’re making porn out of. Child porn is a bad thing
Dude, she isn’t real.
If she’s drawn as an adult like the pucture used for the pist I don’t think it would be a problem anymore, you can’t really lock down a fictional character’s age it just comes down to features their drawn with and I guess if someone feels the need to go out of thier way to give an age
She is really a 2,000 year old
dragonchild of god so it’s totally ok.-some priest
That seems Kanna specific 👀
This is not child porn.
Please define child porn.
Edit: becauae y’all seem to wanna put words in my mouth: I also think that sexualized cartoons of children is bad. I never said otherwise. I’m referring to the US federal legal definition.
The feds define it as:
Any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a person less than 18 years old
Visual depiction includes cartoons.
Don’t argue with me, call the feds and debate it with them. Maybe give them your hard drive, too. That’s probably better for everyone.
Does a cartoon character actually count as a person?
Same energy as “I’m actually an ephebophile!”
“Thanks for calling the FBI, how may I direct your call?”
“I like to discuss what actually constitutes child pornography and how to rectify the laws that are causing my beautiful sensual artwork to be unfairly maligned on the internet.”
“I couldn’t agree more. What’s your home address, we’d love to hear your complaint in person”
No it absolutely does fucking not include cartoons. (Edit: at least in the US)
And yes, even if it’s of a real person/child. Apparently they’re working on changing that.
Which seems fine in spirit, but we don’t really want the letter of the law making something like this
O/-<
illegal
The fuck…you pedo shits are some brazen fuckers aren’t you.
What indicated that I would be a pedo?
And kind reminder, child sexual abuser != pedophile. (And the other way around)
I said don’t argue with me. You know what to do with your hard drive.
Okay, dickhead. Do you treat everyone who talks about child abuse laws as a predator?
Let me tell you EXACTLY what will happen if the federal government treats cartoon pornofraphy the same as real CSAM: the amount of CSAM being viewed goes up. Way up.
The reason why real child sexual abuse is heavily penalized and cartoon stuff isn’t is because real child sexual abuse is worse. Would you rather have people looking at cartoons or real children?
On top of that, shows like Euphoria,/and others would become just as illegal as real child pornography. After all, the characters depicted are minors, but the actors are adults. Would you be okay with someone watching Euphoria being punished the same as somene looking at real child sexual abuse?
“Oh but I would rather people not veiw anything of sexualized children, real or not-” well I hate to break it to you: its going to happen anyway. The point of criminal punishment is harm reduction. And punishing looking at a cartoon and child pornography the same is only going to increase viewership of real child pornography.
And I’m not even defending it [cartoons] but I definitely would like for real child sexual abuse to decrease, so I’m okay with (edit: CARTOONS) existing. YOU are reading into my comment.

Holy shit. Before you “ackchually” maybe you should look up this shit? Images or video of a minor that depict an act of sex abuse against an identifiable minor CAN include drawings. There have been some cases where people have been convicted of only that (in other cases the person usually had “real” CSAM so it’s hard to determine what the outcome would have been). Here’s a highlighted excerpt from a case in the 5th circuit from a great thread literally about this:
https://bsky.app/profile/jackscellphone.bsky.social/post/3ksissuq2ft2w
And, yes, before you push your glasses up your nose and “buh buh buh”, it does say the charge is obscenity. But, again, I encourage you to read the full thread linked below to understand why that doesn’t fucking matter at all.
The thread this is by someone that has extensive experience in trust and safety in social media. This very long thread has a lot of information you should read before you “okay, dickhead” and then slippery slope something that already happened:

I shouldn’t need to define child porn but here’s a definition:
Sexually gratifying content involving the sexualization of children.This fictional child is a child. Porn of that child is child porn. Drawn, generated, or any other way this is child porn.
I’ve heard the “it’s just pixels” argument before and can’t accept that. If we can recognize that the pixels are pornographic, that they represent the character lucy, and that lucy is a child we can agree that this is porn of a child. Child porn.
How does this not match the term “child porn”.
It is drawn porn of a child
So if a person draws a stick figure and jerks off to it thinking it’s a child stick figure.
Who gets to define how old a cartoon is?
Who cares what someone jerks off to. Does it hurt anyone in any way?
Holy shit man what the fuck are you on about.
If somebody jacks off to the thought of a child they are a pedophile. Yes.
The cartoon has a childs proportions. It has a childs body. The creator has defined it as a child. You are unironically doing the “it’s a thousand year old dragon” shit.
You are a danger to the kids you claim to have. Do you jack off to the thought of their naked bodies? Do you think that would be ok to do? If you do nothing to harm them directly by your own reasoning it would be ok right?
No. That is abhorent. Please get professional help
No I don’t jerk off to kids. I am approaching this mental health issue with an open mind and not emotionally like some people here.
As someone who suffers from a different mental issue, unrelated to pedos, you have to understand that people with a disability don’t want to do some of the things they are doing.
Pedos know they have a mental illness. They don’t want to do the things they are doing. If watching and consuming AI cartoon csam keeps them from acting out their urges in real life then yes please do that. Seek help at the same time.
I can’t guarantee that keeping AI cartoon csam will reduce CSA. But you can’t guarantee removing it can either. So let’s all have an adult conversation here.
Nobody except pedos will argue that child abuse is bad. AI cartoon porn in my opinion is fine. It’s a victimless crime. Literally nobody gets hurt. There is no studies confirming that someone who watches pedo cartoons will end up doing real life child abuse, in fact some studies show the opposite effect.
I welcome AI porn. Cartoon or real life looking. Zero real women get taken advantage of and we get to pick whatever kink we want knowing that nobody was hurt in the making of the AI porn.
I agree. Its always a tough stance. Its like ultimately I want nazis to be able to speak freely as long as they don’t actually do the stuff they spout. As far as im concerned when you try to ban stuff not in reality you are in the realm of trying to ban thought.
It’s not victimless. It normalizes the sexualization of children.
I mean, Japan has had csam cartoons for decades. They have a lower CSA rate compared to the USA. Not saying it’s totally related, but it doesn’t seem like if someone has access to cartoon csam they will normalize it and do it in real life.
Do you have any research that backs this up? Because there is research that claims the opposite and that this can work as a preventative measure.
People who downvoted you are lazy do a quick Google search on the topic.
So if legalized porn reduces rapes as studies show, how to we figure out if this existing allows for less abuse to kids, or if it spawns long term interest
Cartoon csam has been legal in Japan for decades. They have a lower CSA per Capita than the USA.
There are some brain studies that show the area of the brain that is responsible for caring for children is butt up next to the part of the brain that is responsible for sexual pleasures. The study suggests that there might be a misfiring of the synapse between the different sides of the brain that might cause someone to be a pedo. These people don’t experience sexual pleasures without thinking about kids. It’s literally a disability.
My opinion is that we don’t know if removing AI generated csam would make things worse for real life kids or not. But flat out banning it without proper research would be irresponsible.

The only people that sexualize children are pedophiles.
If a pedophile sexualizes fake AI children in his basement but is a productive human in society and never acts in real life. Do you think this person deserves to be in jail?
A: all models are trained on something
2, you’re building your own straw man here. You’ve set up an extremely narrow condition under which this particular type of pedophilia is acceptable. Prove to me that that’s the norm, that it’s a typical use scenario, and that people looking at that crap are exclusively looking at loli, and not images meant to look like real people, and there’s a debate to be had there. But if you think any of that is true you’re lying to yourself. Sexualization of others is not going to happen in a vacuum under sterile conditions, it’s going to bleed in to real life.
Prove to me that removing this will not bleed into real life even more than it is not? You can’t either.
What I can prove is that Japan has csam cartoons for decades and they have less CSA per Capita than the USA. Is it possible that the Japanese know something we don’t? Who knows.
Can you prove to me that the AI trained models were done with real csam materials? If so, not reporting this to the FBI seems irresponsible.
That’s like saying the only people who bake wedding cakes are bakers…
I mean yeah. But what of it? Or are you already implying a level of abuse and connotation to the mental disorder?
The act of baking does indeed make you a baker. Definitionally.
Just because you aren’t going pro doesn’t mean you aren’t making a cake.
That’s a word salad I can’t decipher. Sorry.
Sure but like I asked above, if porn reduces rapes, how do we know that this (gross) doesn’t reduce children being sexually assaulted. I can’t think of a single safe way it could be tested or monitored to find the better long term evil
The “kink” you are picking is drawn child porn. I don’t care if nobody was directly hurt by your consumption of drawn child porn you are consuming child porn. You are a pedophile. Somebody attracted to children sexually.
I don’t care if studies showing pedophiles who watch drawn child porn aren’t likely to offend. They are pedophiles. I know it’s a wild thing to state but I don’t like pedophiles. The debate on legality due to harm reduction is another thing all-together but at no point did I bring that up. I only asked that we not support or make AI porn of fictional children.
Your support of a subset of child porn, particularly AI and drawn is noted though. Thank you for stating as much.
They are pedophiles. I know it’s a wild thing to state but I don’t like pedophiles.
This makes sense and all, but a pedophile who hasn’t harmed a child hasn’t caused any harm. These people have a disorder that should be treated, but this isn’t always easy. If this can give them some outlet that prevents any actual harm being done to children, then that can easily be argued to be a net positive.
I prefer these people jack off to AI porn over real child porn or worse, them turning to actual sexual abuse of children. What’s wrong with preventing child abuse?
I would agree if we see some meta-analysis suggesting this but the evidence is small towards the effect. The studies you state in other comments are inconclusive, are not the majority, and only show mild effects. This is not scientific fact yet and all evidence shows a mild effect at best.
Even if it did though they are still a pedophile. They are masturbating to child porn. We should not accept that as a positive thing and we should not support people who make child porn. These are the people who need to seek help most. If part of that help is jacking it to drawn child porn so be it but be it so under the care of a professional.
The fact that one doesn’t offend only stops one from being a monster. A child molester, or child rapist. A pedophile is still immoral.
My issue is that child porn is inherently wrong. It is a fundamental negative whether drawn or generated. Some things are not about material harm they are about base morality. Sexualizing children is a fundamental wrong.
If the only thing stopping you from raping, molesting, or otherwise harming a child is drawn child porn you are not a good person. That is terrifying, and disgusting.
Lastly, our brains are neuroplastic. Anyone can develop a fetish through constant exposure to something in a positive sexual setting. Something may disgust you, say poop, but if you jack off to the thought long enough you will develop a fetish. This, unlike the claim that drawn child porn is helpful, is well known. Harm to children or not this creates more pedophiles. People who think of children in a sexual manner
No sane person is denying what you’re saying. With a Children of my own, I want to do anything and everything possible to protect them.
That said, there are research that people who consume cartoon csam that haven’t done real life abuse. They have a problem. Taking away something that doesn’t hurt anyone might not improve our protection of our children, but make things worse.
OK then. What the fuck are you talking about then. People are generating child porn, I talk against that, here you are defending something I don’t attack.
I have at no point asked to remove it, to make it illegal, or anything of this sort. You have been fighting a specter of your own creation. People are making child porn due to it’s political and religious leaning. This is wrong.
Re-read my original comment. Your instant jump to defense of an idea not claimed or supported is weird and sketchy. If you the person who welcomes AI child porn has these urges or finds these things sexually attractive, please get help. A therapist will be more helpful than internet porn
If a pedophile sexualizes fake AI children in his basement but is a productive human in society and never acts in real life. Do you think this person deserves to be in jail?
Nope, still a pedophile though. Legality and morality are often disconnected. It should be legal to be a bad person if you’re not causing damage. Jail is for people so dangerous to society we must remove them until they can be saftly re-introduced. They should be legally mandated to therapy though.
Once more, please don’t make child porn. Please don’t consume child porn. That is immoral. It is wrong to make or consume child porn. You supporting child porn as “a kink” somebody can choose and something you quote “welcome” is abhorrent. Stop that please.
If the only thing stopping you from hurting children is drawn child porn that is very bad.
I agree, pedos are not good for society if they are hurting the society.
I disagree that someone needs to be mandated to do anything unless a law was actually broken. I lost a friend who took his life when his country mandated conversion therapy. They also said the same thing you’re saying that gay sex is immoral. His mother said she would rather have a gay son than a dead son.
For the record, I don’t consume csam in any form. But I believe in the rights and freedoms for people that want to do whatever the fuck they want without prosecution for a victimless crime.
The Vatican is angry. They lost their porn mascot. Because, come on, it was always meant to attract vulnerable children to priests.
Shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Hmm.
While none of these models were explicitly tagged NSFW that I noticed, and don’t bill themselves with NSFW images, Pony Diffusion is trained on NSFW images and thus brings that knowledge to derived models. It can understand Danbooru tags, which include a fair number of sexual acts, sexual poses, fetish clothing, sex toys, and suchlike.
I’d also assume that if Luce catches on, general models not specifically intended for generating images of Luce will also learn what Luce looks like as images containing Luce make their way into their training corpuses; that would presumably include NSFW general models.
EDIT: No, I take it back. This Pony-Diffusion-based model, this, and this one do use NSFW images in their example image list if one cycles through the whole list of images. It may have been hidden before, as I was checking the site anonymously, and I believe the civitai default is to hide NSFW content. Also, this model has some suspiciously well-endowed Luce images in its example image list, and this model doesn’t have nudity in its example images, but does have Luce flipping the viewer the bird in an example image, which I imagine is probably sacrilegious.
Found my favorite. I knew someone must have thought of the 40k connection before me.

Luce Spinoza is the Interrogator for the Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord, Erasmus Crowl.
Even the name matches. Best of all, this Luce is an interrogator working for the inquisition. This is just next level irony. 🤣
Yeah, it kind of is throwing out a softball for that, I reckon.
As someone not logged in or with an account I keep getting
These images hidden for mature content settings
From swiping through those thumbnails so… I’m taking they are able to generate some NSFW images just fine.
Honestly who is using AI generation for anything but that? I’ve only heard about fursonas and D&D stuff as well but let’s be honest roleplay was secondary use of that dungeon too.
Honestly who is using AI generation for anything but that?
Stop by [email protected]!
No thanks!
Edit: sorry don’t mean to be that dismissive and I get there are more uses sure. But I’m also just not interested in AI “artwork” or legitimizing it.
Yeah they should have seen this one coming lol
The only reason I think they didn’t is that their mascot isn’t a little altar boy.
falsely assumed you want to ban AI generated cartoon csam.
I agree with some of the things you commented on. Some I don’t.
One thing I hope we both can agree on is that there should be more research done. We have to understand the nuances before we start calling someone a bad or disgusting person.
Vatican: I can’t believe you’ve done that
Mmmmm… That’s a crisp gif.
