This is likely true for serial killers as well. Who start watching horror films and reading books about murder. However ordinary people never end up doing the crime. Same for violent fantasies too. Normal people don't do end up doing it. We do not prosecute people who have collections of hundreds of horror films or fiction books depicting crime, just in case they might do it for real. That's unacceptable to do in a free society. It seems that, maybe because of some reason to do with evolutionary psychology, we find sex more "harmful" than death even. When in reality is obviously causes far less harm. Probably some primitive, animal instinct at work there? In an article it says: " Gagnon wrote that the creation of the new images of sexual abuse encourages the market for child pornography, which craves novelty, and puts children at risk by "fuelling fantasies that incite sexual offences against children." " Well it looks like they are trying to police peoples' thoughts there. Straight out of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four. And civil disobedience should be the correct response, everyone should make sure they have as many abhorrent fantasies as possible. The good news is that purely AI-driven generation of such images can be done offline, and does not involve real children in any way. The morality police here in the West are going to have a really hard time putting a stop to that. I wonder what hysteria they will try to whip up to justify their continued witch hunting of people looking at images in their own homes. Yes, the aforementioned morality police, they're like something out of a Muslim country. Doing things that ISIS or the Taliban would do. But it's happening here in the Western world, with supposedly free societies.
