Material.

Material can be anything. It can be images, videos theoretically even audio recordings. Images is a relevant and sensible distinction. And judging by the downvotes you’re collecting, the majority of people disagree with you.

You’re right. It can be images, that’s exactly why saying “this man was found in possession of child abuse material images” does not make grammatical sense. It’s why CP still defines it better as we’re not arresting people for owning copies of Lolita, which you could argue is also CSAM. the majority of people disagree with you. The majority of people can be wrong.

Big “Ben Shapiro ranting about renewable energies because of the first law of thermodynamics” energy right here. The majority of people can be wrong. No they can’t, not with regards to linguistics. Words and language, by definition, and convention of every serious linguist in the world, mean what the majority of people think them to mean. That’s how language works.

“I’m mad you’re right so let me compare you to a hateful right wing grifter and also by the way, you’re wrong because all my friends say so.” It may shock you but a handful of Lemmy users doesn’t constitute the linguistic consensus you’re trying to inherit here.

I’m not comparing you to Ben Shapiro, I’m comparing your grammar nazi pedantism to a single specific instance of someone else’s grammar nazi pedantism. I also gave several explicit reasons why using CP over CSAM is idiotic, not just “my friends say so” But hey, if you want to be like that sure. You’re right, everyone else is wrong, you do you and keep using CP instead of CSAM, and keep getting irrationally upset and angry at people who think CSAM is a better term. Happy now ?

Sorry. To address your two points, where did people get the idea that the word porn implies artistic merit or consent? It simply means material intended to sexually excite people. Is that not the difference between what we consider CSAM and a picture of your kid in the tub? CP can stand for a lot of things but it’s common parlance now. CSAM just causes confusion. Also really? Now you’re stooping to the old “why so mad bro?”. You’re the one having a meltdown, I’m wasting time at work by sharing an opinion.
