Something I realized

Society: Ban child porn!

Me: Why?

Society: Because it exploits children!

Me: What do you think about Chocolate Milk?  Should it be legal to drink it?

Society: Yea, why not?

Me: Well, Chocolate production uses child slaves, so chocolate production exploits children.

The pedophile exploits children by nutting to naked kids on the internet.  I exploit children by drinking chocolate milk frequently with chocolate made with child slavery.  I got some questions.

1. Do you think it exploits children more to have them do 5 sex videos in their life in a comfortable temperature room or to have them work for 15 years on farms making chocolate for your lattes and your Hersheys bars whether it's hot, humid, rainy, or other, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week?

2. If you are an adult that is sexually active, can you go longer without masturbation, or without chocolate products?

The pedophile by nutting to kids on the internet (not sex with kids, but by nutting to them on the internet (which could even be animated child porn)) is exploiting kids less for a more essential cause than I am by drinking chocolate almond milk.

"But you were getting angry at someone for saying sexual activities are for children of all ages".  There is a difference between masturbation and sex.  Masturbation can be done with animated child porn (which should be legal as no kids are effected and it might actually reduce child rape since animated child porn can cause certain things to happen sexually that would never be performed in real life).  Legalizing animated child porn production (and adult porn production) would significantly reduce child rape rates I think.

I don't want to be a hypocrite.

But if you want to ban child porn because it exploits children, you would only be logically consistent if you wanted to ban chocolate that even had 1% of it's production made with child slaves(Child Labor and Slavery in the Chocolate Industry - Food Empowerment Project (foodispower.org)).

I figured you would like it.

most of the time you come up with some wild comparisons that think there's no way to distinguish, when in reality reasonable people can come to different ways of distinguishing. but then sometimes you come up with ideas that are hard to argue with. i dont know why child labor exploitation for the benefit of the masses isn't talked or advocated about more... but it's obvious the ultimate reason is because it benefits the masses, so the masses like to look other way. 

Definition of the masses: A large percentage of the population.

Are you saying child exploitation is okay only if everyone else is doing the child exploitation?  I mean, it's harder to prosecute, but one's moral code in terms of how they live (not how they treat other people), but how they live should be independent of what other people do.

Like, I'm vegan even though only 2% of the US population is.  If vegans made up 98% of the population, I would want meat eating to be illegal and tried as murder.  But when meat eaters make up 90% of the population, I don't get angry at them because I'm in the minority, but it doesn't change how I live my personal life.

you are a super weird and radicalized dude. you have some great ideas sometimes too, i'll give you that. 

Wait, do you think that child porn should be legal or that animated child porn should be legal?

There arent many arguments against animation.

Just animated because the alternative exists that is more moral with no downsides.

If there were 2 chocolate milk companies (Company A uses child slavery, Company B does not and they are identical in every other way), I think buying chocolate milk from chocolate milk company A should be illegal.  If Company A ends the child slave labor, then it should be legal to buy from them; but until that happens, it should be illegal.

I appreciate that.

I try and find consistency even if it makes people uncomferable.
