Nah it's basically waterboarding...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

You'd sure think so from some of these responses.

But I do enjoy the person who thinks you need to get consent from a baby to ethically take its picture.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We're talking about in the nuddy here, in which case you really should have a good case for taking that photo.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

The good case is that the child was just born and didn't come out clothed. Something many of you don't seem to understand.

To ethically take nude pictures. Ftfy

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (4 children)

So many of you think babies come out clothed.

You also have this absolutely ludicrous idea in your heads that having a naked photo of your baby is child pornography. And yet none of you have an example of a parent facing legal repercussions for it. And somehow that doesn't clue you in that it is, in fact, not child pornography.

And then there's the Finnish guy who is telling you all what prudes you are. One of the few sane takes.

Seems like these people are sexualizing babies and then making you seem like the crazy one. It’s kind of insane.

[–] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, please carry on telling me what kind of ideas I have. Forgive me for thinking babies have some rights.

No one said it's child porn. It's just that when parents show off your naked baby pictures it gets uncomfortable for everyone, as many here have expressed.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No one said it’s child porn.

Multiple people have said it's child porn.

[–] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Multiple people have also said it's wrong to do that, so.. carry on cherry picking I guess. But sure, if you think it's ethical to go around flashing your kids genitals, then carry on I guess. You can't fix stupid.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

You said no one said it's child porn.

They have. Multiple times.

I also never said I went around flashing my kids' genitals. I don't know why you have to lie like this in order to criticize me.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's been going to bat for showing people photos of his kid's bits all day, he's too far dug in to ever admit he's wrong.

You're right, you definitely can't fix stupid. Man just wants to violate his child's privacy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, the people being my parents and my in-laws. All pedophiles too I guess.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Naked photos of children is pretty much the definition of CP, yes.

A parent is unlikely to face prosecution unless they share the photos, but that doesn't mean it's legal.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cool. The law literally says otherwise.

I would definitely demand a refund from wherever you got your law degree.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

See, this is on par with arguing semantics around how it's not pedophilia because the victim wasn't prepubescent. You may be technically right, but the fact that you're making the argument is gross.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's really not.

It's not porn, because it's not porn.

It's not our fault that you think of everything as sexual.

There is nothing sexual about a naked body. If you ever can, do come visit Finland. By your logic, anyone visiting a sauna with someone else there is either committing or being the victim of a sex crime? (You're not allowed to wear a bathing suit in the sauna for health reasons.)

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I bet taking photos would go down well though.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Because of a right to privacy, sure. But I've actually had a camera in my local swimming hall and in the sauna while I was in there. A shielded gopro which wasn't on, obviously, but it could've been, and no-one batted an eye. I had permission from the staff, we were doing a bit of underwater filming.

Anyway, do you think infants have the right to privacy from their caregivers, even when they're not even self-reliant?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

And yet you claimed I have child porn and that I am abusing my child.

When are you going to contact lemmy.world admin to have me reported to the authorities for child abuse and the possession of child pornography?
