Usually people use the slippery slope to avoid things, not encourage a descent into depravity, but to each their own.

In any case, you shouldn't pretend as if this is morally okay just because you can focus in on each individual step and find a way to justify it. There are a lot of crimes that clearly fall into this bucket: stalking, for example. Any one interaction may be innocent, but it's the sum total of actions that completes the picture of abuse.

If you endorse distributing fake naked pictures of celebrities, you are a bad person, no matter your line of reasoning.

This is an interesting final opinion. Can you explain your reasoning? I’d like to understand more about why you dislike this?

This idea of altering images has always confused me. When I was a kid, I got a scanner and a printer. The first thing I did was take a picture of a Battletech Griffin 55 ton battlemech (a giant war robot) and replaced the robot head with that of my mom, titling it “Grifmom.” I thought it was awesome and she burst into tears and beat me terribly. I never understood why. And this didn’t have any nudity or offensive material, just a normal face on a robot body.

Perhaps this is related to your aversion?

I dislike this because I have respect for human beings instead of applying moral rules like a robot.

That’s interesting. How is editing an image of someone and not even showing them disrespectful.

Do you imagine others naked? Is that disrespectful?

It’s really interesting hearing about other people’s mora systems.

Arm-chair diagnosing someone you don't agree with with psychological issues isn't very helpful to a conversation, you know.
