Do chatbots that pretend to be anime main characters really pose risks to anyone? Really? You all know that there are real things in the world like toxic waste dumps and human trafficking right?

They pose risks to people in the same way porn, gambling or drugs pose a risk to people. We should as a society generally err on the side of being permissive with this stuff while providing the tools necessary for people to be safe.
