I feel like banning ai stuff which involves modifying or training on real people would be best as separate act. Like the drawn porn is gross and I hate it, but I don’t think you can legislate a drawing being illegal based on whatever age that drawing is supposed to be

Would be fascinated to see how the enforcement for this goes, cause god knows it would be relieving for Twitter to remove all that awful drawn shit. But I doubt Elon is jumping to do that. And if he doesn’t do that and Twitter keeps allowing that gross drawn material, this would efficiently criminalize anyone who had those drawings pop up while scrolling Twitter.

yeah also I don’t trust Texas to not construe “obscene” as including, like, gay people

Idgaf if someone is drawing naked kids they should be arrested. If they're drawing characters and the kids have clothes that's different. Honestly this rant is disgusting you want people to be allowed to draw naked kids since it's not AI or real. Disgusting

You clearly aren’t taking the effort to read what I said. I think it’s gross and would rather it not exist in the first place but the enforcement here is very problematic. Consider the actual legal implications here and not just the knee jerk reaction.

Depicting naked children = jail no matter the form? Really doesn't seem complicated and I doubt the gays (who aren't pedophiles) in Texas care bc they open carry too lol

But they are not drawings. They’re images that were generated using real life images of children. They’re images of real existing children that have been edited to make them look as though they’re doing sexual things. I’d find it equally as problematic if someone was manually cutting images of children’s faces out and gluing them into porn magazines, which is essentially what this is, except AI does the cutting and gluing for you

This is why AI should’ve never been publicly accessible to begin with. You wouldn’t be complaining about it being taken away had it never been given to you in the first place

I was referring to the drawings portion of the bill when I talked about problems. The AI part is easier to implement and involved material being made with real children. That both makes it easier to enforce and less problematic to implement. I outright said the AI portion is the unproblematic one, it’s legislating drawn material that runs into issues.

The Dragon Ball Z manga has goku depicted naked when he was a child. That was not for any nefarious or inappropriate purposes, but under this law possession of the dragon ball z manga could land you in jail.

The law is prohibiting people from making CP of child cartoon characters. For example, the power puff girls. You can’t make obscene content with them in it, because even tho they’re cartoon characters, they’re cartoon children. The wording sounds confusing but they’re listing all the kinds of “children” you’re not allowed to do this with. Whether it’s a real child, a cartoon or animated child, or a fake child created purely via AI, it’s all not allowed in this law

The law says that material with “serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value” is exempt but again that’s up to the state of Texas to decide what counts. You really need to consider the implications of a law that can land someone in jail over not just making, but seeing any inappropriate drawing of a character that isn’t an adult. You don’t have to make it, you could accidentally see it or not know that it’s of like some 15 year old anime character and be arrested.

Well manga/anime does typically depict children in obscene ways so 🤷‍♀️ there’s lots of anime out there where the characters are set to be children but they draw and animate them sexually and I do think those should be banned

I think that’s gross but it’s not the place of the state of Texas to arrest people for seeing a drawing. Actual CP is enforceable because it is abusing an actual child, whose age can be verified, and there are restrictions in place meaning you aren’t going to accidentally see that just from being on the internet, someone has to seek it out.

This is different. Some weirdo in Japan could draw a child character inappropriately, and you could see it without knowing it was a fictional child, and then be arrested. That’s not someone who is doing any actual harm to anyone, but now they can be arrested just like someone with actual abuse material.

Like if someone could draw a stick figure with boobs and then it becomes illegal material depending on whether the artist says the stick figure is 15 or 18, that’s a problem.

I don’t think theres any excuse to have any images, drawing or not, of people whose age looks questionably young. Just don’t draw explicit photos of kids. It’s super simple to draw an adult with adult anatomy that would never be confused as a child

So that’s not how these kinds of arrests work. They’re not monitoring your computer and watching you 24/7, waiting for you to open CP. You get charged with this if the police for some reason check your computer and you have this stuff SAVED and DOWNLOADED or shared with others. If you scroll past something like this on Twitter, no you will no go to jail

Plenty of those weirdos draw child characters as if they were adults. Someone who sees some weird shit with a my hero academia or Naruto or Pokémon character could reasonably not know the cannon age of that character. Something which isn’t actual abuse material shouldn’t be a criminal offense based on a cannon age because it’s a made up character.

Like y’all I think this shit is gross but it’s obviously a fuckin problem if a saving drawing could be changed from “normal drawn porn” to “jail time” based on whether some artist from outside Texas decides the character is 19 or 17.

Anonymous #1 4w

And Christ y’all I think the shit is gross too and I would rather it not exist but I just recognize that arresting people over some hentai is NOT at all comparable to actual material from actual abused children. Because a character isn’t real and its age cannot be verified. It’s classifying something as abuse material based on the nebulous concept of whatever age the artist thought it was when drawing it.

Idk maybe just don’t save the stuff in the first place? I just think it’s weird that you’re doing mental gymnastics to try and justify why this is a bad law when all it does is protect children’s likeness from being used in explicit content

Okay so they save a picture of a my hero academia character who is actually 16. Might not know what media it is from, or might just be a creep. Weird? Yeah. But that shouldn’t be an arrestable offense.

Bad enough for someone to go to jail? Over something which is either completely fine or abuse material depending on the canonical age of a character?

You need to divorce what we think is icky from what needs to be legally enforced. It’s lines on a paper and the concept of an age. That should not be putting people in jail, especially when there are no safeguards on the internet to ensure that art is of adults or to indicate what the age of a character is.
