#Tw CSEM

[the-birds-they-are-here]

I never knew about this.

If you are in any online spaces that discuss the morality of fiction or its censorship, please keep the following in mind:

CSAM refers to Child Sexual Abuse Material. This is a term that was created for use by US federal law enforcement. As such, it is important to remember that this is a term used specifically to describe illegal sexual content that is produced involving real children. the term CSAM was specifically constructed to highlight the trauma these victims experience because of this abuse, and therefore their humanity.

if you come across CSAM online, you should immediately report it to a tip line. Some websites that host their servers in the US are subject to US federal law even if the person who posted it does not currently reside in the US, so keep that in mind when reporting. again, this is involving CSAM - it is illegal sexual content involving real children.

CSEM refers to Child Sexual Exploitation Material. This is material that involves a real child in a sexualized situation, but either 1- the material itself is not illegal to possess, or 2- the material is not sexualized, but is included in a series or other content that does contain CSAM. Think along the lines or a parent with a few too many photos of their child in the bath. These images are not explicitly sexual, and are not illegal in and of themselves, but they can be used exploitatively.

If you come across CSEM online, it's still a good idea to send in a tip as well as alerting the website it was posted on. Even if the content itself isn't technically illegal, some websites do have strict rules regarding nudity and the sexualization of minors, which can help stop the spread of such materials and reduce the impact on the affected child.

CSAM and CSEM are words used to describe the assault, abuse, sexualization, and exploitation of real children. CSAM, specifically, is used as a way to identify and remove these materials.

CSAM and CSEM do not apply to fiction. They don't apply to any fictionalized or simulated child abuse or sexualized children. They only refer to real children.

Do not send in tips about fictionalized child abuse or sexualized children to tip lines meant to be used for CSAM.

Do not use the words CSAM and CSEM when discussing fictionalized child abuse or sexualized children. In a worst case scenario, it leads to people misusing tip lines due to a conflation of CSAM with fictionalized depictions.

In a more likely scenario, using CSAM to refer to fiction minimizes what CSAM was created to do - which was highlight the trauma experienced by survivors, and therefore draw attention to their humanity. By continuing to use these terms in situations that do not involve real people, it reduces that impact.

absolutely cannot believe i need to say this, but ABSOLUTELY DO NOT email me or anyone else a list of links to CSEM on tumblr unprompted (or at all), even if your goal is just to get rid of it (which to be clear is not something i can help with whatsoever). you are putting both yourself and me at massive risks for absolutely no reason, if you stumble upon materials like that you either report them to tumblr or an actual org dedicated to dealing with stuff like this (and also only if their instructions specifically say to do so). investigating it yourself and even worse, sending it to random people, puts you (and anyone you send it to) at massive legal risks, don't do it.

heres your reminder that the proper term for "CP" (child porn) is CSAM/CSEM. when you describe it as "porn", you disregard the fact that for 1. porn is consensual and 2. that its not a crime. the whole reason it was called child porn, is because the people you try to incriminate (sexual predators), treat it like a porn category. the whole reason the term exists is because of predators, and by using that term, you aren't recognizing that it's trying to cover up exploitation.

[aspengenic]

I'm going to rip my hair out, this girl is so fucking disgusting, I.

Sorrynotsorry, that's in the same vein as "it's okay if you watch/draw/write/read CSEM because you're not hurting a child!"

Get some help oh my goddddd

[gacha-incels]

warning: the following images have text in english discussing subjects like CSEM (child sexual exploitation material), deepfake AI pornography, disturbing language. the few images included are completely blurred and have a mosaic filter so you see nothing. lmk if I need to add any more tags to the post. these are images already posted in english by queenarchive1 (formerly guiltyarchive) on twitter. incidents like these are becoming increasingly common with massive amounts of victims. queenarchive1 has a post up right now with almost 7mil views warning female students in a specific city to take down all selfies because men are deepfaking them nude and then blackmailing them with these photos.

[leaf-goes-rabid]

if antis wanna actually help people how about they go back in time and save me luh mao

"thats cp"

EEEHHHH WRONG

the term is CSEM

its not real its literally a drawing of some fictional dude

if u wanna save ppl from that shit yall shoulda been there was I was 2-9

[kickpedosoutofyourbar]

was thinking earlier about the fact that i see sooo many posts from radqueers and adjacent people about how minors (particularly preteens/teens) do experience sexual attraction and try to use that as a justification for sexual contact with them.... it's such bullshit

especially since i was precocious I'm very well aware that, yes, kids can experience these things and I am not at all trying to say they don't or shouldn't, but also as a victim of CSA god do i fucking wish i was allowed to discover my sexuality on my own terms. my perception of sex, vulnerability, and my body was completely warped by adult predators and i am, to this very day, trying to unlearn it. children should feel safe to explore themselves and their sexuality by themselves or with others of their age if they wish, without outside pressure from adults who only view them as a sex objects!

Things we’ve seen because I’ve been online since we were little

A surprising amount of death cults, death cults are a super big part of internet culture and history. notable one is the church of euthanasia which I honestly respect for being upfront about the whole death cult shit unlike the other ones.

a vast array of CSEM, and actual unironic CSA videos how idk, why idk. I was 7 who the fuck knows.

the most gruesome, the most violent, the most brutal animal abuse that haunts my dreams and waking nightmares. *SCREAM*

terrorism. So much terrorism. Such an incredibly dangerous and large amount of terrorism. Videos and propaganda and death and destruction, it’s not even funny I’ve seen this shit since I was a babe. I still see it on YouTube I still see it on all sorts. Why the fuck is it there.

Cannibalism somehow, idk how just know we have seen a fair amount somehow.

so many dead bodies. So many dead people so many dying and dead bodies and people and ohubuohbouhbuhoboubhuohboub

zoos and necro’s, and like real fucking weird and fucked up stuff. Ugh 😑

and more stuff I don’t remember rn!

The current state of AI discourse is baffling to me because I swear to god some people are just developing collective amnesia and dismissing AI art as "not actually being that bad" when the problems with it are significantly deeper than whether or not it's "real art". It being "real art" is irrelevant to it causing tangible harm. Like yeah I don't think someone AI generating an image to use as a reference is some massive evil, but in the greater scheme of things:

AI art is being used to spread actual real-world misinformation. Propaganda.

Ai art is being used to spread CSEM and other forms of revenge porn. It is also threatening the livelihoods of sex workers to some degree.

People are putting their favorite artists' works through a blender, without their consent, instead of paying them, because image generation is instant dopamine.

Big corps are trying to use AI instead of paying artists/writers because they're greedy fucks.

Most AI programs (with few exceptions) are scraping from existing works without the consent of the original artists.

AI voices are doing the same.

A common argument I've seen is comparing these things to like... digital art, photo editing*, voice splicing. You have to understand that the merit of these things isn't that "they take more time/effort". Effort is not an inherent facet of art. Plenty of tools exist to make art easier that we take for granted now-- many forget the discourse that kicked up when digital art was first gaining popularity. The issue is and always will be consent. Most artists do not want their works or voices to be put into AI databanks. The fact that most AI programs do not care for this, and that a lot of companies are trying to swindle their way into getting artist consent under the pretense of "well they didn't say no", is the main issue. We completely lost the plot when we started focusing more on "is AI art real art?" and "is it bad to use AI for any purpose?", because those are both irrelevant to the question of "is AI harmful?", wherein the answer is yes. This is also failing to consider that "real art" can also cause harm for similar reasons: sexual harassment/revenge porn, defamation, propaganda, etc.

*As a note, this is also ignoring the fact that a lot of people DON'T want their art to be edited or even heavily referenced. It's been commonplace in art usage terms for ages now. This is important to note in the context of AI discourse and copyright law. I also believe there is a difference between voice splicing and AI voices since splicing is more limited and way less likely to get someone actually defamed or 'replaced' as a voice actor, and is just a manipulation of existing voice clips mostly for silly shitposts.

AI CAN be helpful. AI can be used to create references, or make smoother rendering, or even just for fun. A lot of people used AI programs in their baby stages without thinking about how the images were generated or the actual consent of the artists involved, because it was a fun shiny new toy. I also like to think most people who have the means to pay an artist ultimately would. But the issue is not and never has been AI making art easier, or people using it for silly shit, or even people using it for serious art refs. The issue is AI mass-scraping existing artwork, being used to facilitate misinformation, and screwing artists out of jobs. Don't even get me started on AI fucking generating CSEM, or revenge porn, and additionally how it impacts the careers of sex workers.

AI is an issue in its current state. Yes, the panic about it taking over art as a whole was overblown, even if the fears were valid. The capacities of AI art is almost always slightly below the capacities of human-made art, and it's something that will quickly fall in popularity once it stops being the shiny new thing. People using AI to make art easier aren't the enemy either, especially since this can be beneficial for people who do it as a job-- shortening the labor time and all. That doesn't mean AI isn't an issue and that everyone critiquing it is actually just an elitist ableist cuck or whatever. None of this really would've been a problem if not for the mass scraping, resulting in both violations of artist consent, and also it picking up genuinely illegal/nasty content. That's what we should be focusing on. None of this "real art" bullshit.

All that said: I personally would say that using most AI programs-- no matter the purpose-- is unethical because of how most of them function. The only exceptions would be for programs that specifically use consensually obtained data. On this front, I would highly recommend keeping tabs on Adobe Firefly, since it's one of the very very few models out there that has stated a clear commitment to not violating the copyright and consent of artists or persons (it operates off of stock footage and public domain).

Evidence We Didn’t Take

🗝️🏷️ stalking, SA, CSEM, mention of sex toys in orange (start and end: The one pice of evidence…show we had.)

This is maybe a therapy thought, but therapy is gonna be busy✨this week.

We have a problem with not documenting evidence of our abuse because we assume we won’t be believed.

An example that comes to mind is stalking. We’ve been through that more than once, but one time we were regularly in therapy and most frequent fronters knew about our abuse history. Two or three men were showing up in places we needed to be exactly when we needed to be there.

We are medium trusting in two extremes, either I would die for you or I will put in effort to avoid you. These guys wore garments we were conditioned to respond to, so we initially avoided them to not creep them out. When they became more of a fixture, we were more inclined to dodge.

And that’s why we think it was stalking, because they went out of their way. Sometimes they walked behind us for like ten minutes, following while we took weird turns and crossed streets. If they were going the same place, they inconvenienced themselves doing it our way. Standing in doorframes for an hour, looking out. Always where we were going. Taking pictures with us in frame where there was nothing of interest to photograph. Once they were all together, and they passed a nearly empty elevator to try to get on with us. We went without our notebook that day. So many mildly weird things, not really anything huge.

I could’ve taken a picture. That was a safety idea we had. See the guys, take a picture. Kinda invasive, but they seemed to be doing it to us. It would’ve illustrated how often they were there, that they were behaving oddly, that situationally we were right to be distressed. But I never did. I told my therapist: “Even if I do have proof, proof of what? That bald white guys exist?”

I wasn’t sure then that it was stalking, and I’m still not now. It was very mild for our experience, no break-ins or getting snatched. That was also why I was so careful, because those were scary and I didn’t want a repeat. But when I tell people, they don’t believe me. One asked “are you sure that wasn’t a dream?” Pictures would’ve been something, some proof. At least that I didn’t make the guys up.

Our family has occult paraphernalia in the home, or did for years. The one time I thought I should document that and was there to do it, everyone was in the room with the storage boxes and I didn’t try to get past them.

We don’t have any of the clothing we were abused in. I’ve never found any CSEM with us in it (or any at all), but I know some of the things we were wearing to the venue. We don’t have any photos of us before we got a cell phone and have never seen the photo albums that supposedly existed.

The one piece of evidence that we do have is a sex toy we were abused with. It wasn’t one of the… communal(?) ones. I’ve never tried to explain that before. It wasn’t a gift. We got it during puberty with a secret gift card, and they found it. It was one of two that came with us when we left. It’s glass, and someone dropped it at exactly the right angle to crack a chunk off. It’s oddly sentimental, so I don’t want to throw it away, but it’s dubious on body safety now. One more thing I won’t even be able to show we had.

It feels like the only evidence I have now is this body I carry around everywhere I go. Just me, the others, and the vessel we’re stuck in.

It stings. But most people don’t believe us anyway, and what we could’ve shown wasn’t enough for court. It’s just us now. No one will ever know like we do.

I just remembered an event where I was reminded of how stupid and performative antis can be.

There was this one comment thread on Twitter where an anti was raving about an artist drawing Kakashi x Naruto under one of their art posts, and calling them a pedophile and the likes, comparing the artist's doujin of the pairing to be CSEM . Standard anti shit.

But what blows my mind the most was...the anti proceed to not only screenshot the cover of said doujin, but also post it in their comment thread for everyone there to see...

This person claims that the artist was making CSEM via ship art, yet the anti not only saved it in their inventory, but distributed to others to see publicly???

IF IT WAS REALLY CSEM, THEY WILLINGLY DISTRIBUTED IT TO POSSIBLY DOZENS OF PEOPLE PUBLICLY WHILE CRYING ABOUT THE ARTIST BEING A PEDO.

Antis have no fucking brain cells istg.

I need people to realize that it is completely ok to project your trauma onto OC's and sonas and make art of it in a NON-FETISHIZED manner. All of my sonas have the same or similar trauma as mine. I am a victim of CSA, CSEM, ACSA, trafficking, TBMC/programming, and RAMCOA. My sonas and main OCs that represents me in a way are either a victim of all of some or all of these. Like my sona/mascot is a victim of every single one of these and Yūto is a victim of CSA, trafficking, and TBMC/programming. Yūto has a whole character arc where he heals from his programming and is deprogrammed in a way. It's something I wish I could achieve but idk if I ever can.

It's how I cope and what happened to them is very obviously shown as negative and IS NOT fetishized. The thing with lolisho content is that it's not shown that way and IS sexualized. Ffs the genre it's in is hentai and the intent of it is to turn someone on. In lolisho content the creators WANTS you to get off to it. They want you to see a child character being abused and go "wow that's hot". That's the point of it. That type of content should be illegal worldwide and banned from every site. Yeah it's not exactly CSEM and doesn't involve a real child but it is starting material. A lot of people who engage in it end up going after CSEM of real kids and end up harming real kids. Same thing with certain inappropriate child dolls, the people who indulge in those usually end up going after actual kids. Which is another thing people consider not bad because "well it doesn't involve a real child". Why would you want to look at animated material of what looks like a child being abused? Why would you want to have a certain type of doll with the same anatomy as a child? There's no other explanation other than you get off to the idea of doing that.

Idk how to end this. My point is vent art and the non-fetishized projection of trauma of OCs is NOT the same as lolisho content. I would like people to stop saying it's the same because it's not. One clearly shows the act of CSA to be horrific and vile and the other wants you to get off to it.

Addition to the stuff about kandiqueer

/PT Addiction to the stuff about kandiqueer /end PT

i thought this needed its own post as people who rebloged it already were less likely to see the new shit, i recommend seeing the first post before reading/rbing this

on the first post(link) i talked about how those who call themselves kandiqueer belive that children and animals can consent, always pro/complex contact and never anti-contact for all paras, aswell as alot of other disgusting stuff

well now, on that coining post it said it also supported "MSM/MMP" and ive been looking for what that means for a while, but thanks to someone helping on that carrd, we found it and its just as bad.

cw: cp/csa/csem

plain text in image alt text

the term kandiqueer supports cp. yeah. on top of them thinking minors and animals can consent..

the emoji code associated with this term is 🫧🌈, 🪱🌈, or 🖍🌈

if you see the term kandiqueer or these acronyms on a radqs blog or in similar context, or you see the emoji code in the right context (not like just someone using emojis), please report them and warn your peers. these people are dangerous.

just goes to show how dangerous radqs can really get
