The rebrand here is because for something to be porn, the person in it has to be able to consent. Children can’t consent, thus it’s material showing sexual abuse.

I think this new name is generally accepted at wide and will stick around in perpetuity from now on.

This was a reason the rebranders stated. But it was false clearly. Dictionaries' definitions did not include consent. People understood revenge porn lacked consent. And people understood child porn lacked consent.
