By OC trying to imply a difference, one could be led to assume that OC believes there is some part of the illegal material that they do not consider abuse.
I vehemently disagree with that line of thinking. It is abuse, and that is why it is illegal.
Who in their right mind thinks calling CP is validating it in any way? Just because some morons decided to make a politically correct term for it doesn’t change what it is.
The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

People already understand that. 🤦
I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of “porn” normalizes it to some extent.
