i have no idea what your point was then. if some hentai artist was forced to draw a kink they don't like or scammed out of money they were owed by a publisher, that harm is done and dusted long before the work is scanlated and uploaded somewhere you or I would see it, and we don't compound the harm done by passively copying and observing art.
You sort of brought in your own hentai advocacy here from the start and I was talking almost entirely about videos and photography, as was focus of the topic of this thread.
it applies the same way. you don't know who I am or what I look like or which butthole is my butthole so how exactly do you assume any moral culpability from looking at a "stolen" or coerced picture of my butthole?
This is getting into borderline :reddit-logo: territory up to and including "it's almost as if that cartoon child porn is just lines on a page or just numbers in a computer" argument methods and I find those reductionist and sophistic, so I'm choosing to disengage.
you were talking about the provenance of digital files, yes?
Not specifically, no.
