Fundamentally, I don't see a way to frame the A.I. generated child porn problem in a way that doesn't apply to a lot of other legal things. Maybe you could say it inspires people to go and do X, Y, and Z to children, but then you opened up the "crime is transitive" gates, and you now have to outlaw a wildly long list of things normal people consider innocuous simply because someone sick likes them the wrong way.

Actually, on that line of thought, incest porn is popular in Japan (not the step-mom/step-sister stuff America does - which, let's face it, isn't incest), yet I don't see any massive increase in people having sex with their mothers or what-have-you.

I'm afraid to ask how you're measuring this.

Purely speculation for the most part.

I thought it was obvious to everyone that the "step-" prefix in American incest is there purely for legal reasons. Or you thought that millions of Americans out there are going "eww I don't want to fuck my sister; my step-sister however..."?

The only reason the say step-mom instead of mom is due to policies on the porn site itself

Is this actually true though? Speculation, but I doubt "mom" would have the same appeal as "step-mom" for the same reasons that the former isn't allowed and the latter is.
