but if it is, it does increase the immunity of those responsible

and also, there’s the age old argument over whether movies / media / games / contrails actually promote harm or they are just mirrors reflecting the contemporary state of society (Old El Paso), but we absolutely guarantee that when you have an output-predicting-跟爱-trained-on-human-art there is no denying the mirror component

a sad indictment as they say

there is research on child sex dolls that points to them increasing harm. but, more importantly, no evidence that there is a therapeutic benefit.

They are illegal in Australia aren’t they, WA at least
I came across someone charged with importing them.

they are illegal in Australia under the Combating Child Sexual Exploitation Legislation Amendment Act 2019, and several people have been charged with the importation of them. In japan it is legal… while the possession of child abuse material is illegal, the dolls fall under the illustrative media freedom of expression act that also covers things like Manga and anime.
