    Nevermind that it’s right there in the headline - do you know how a joke works?

      Where’s the joke?

      What you’re doing is using hyperbole, and it’s completely unnecessary to make your point.

        I should not have to explain ‘hyperbole that’s obviously not literally true can be used to exaggerate and underline a point’ when that is also the plain text of your comment. What are we doing, here? Are you okay?

          I’m just pointing out that your point completely stands without the hyperbole.

          If you’re saying CSAM = rape, then you open yourself up to a ton of irrelevant arguments proving that it’s not rape, when the point you should be defending is that it’s abuse. Taking a picture of a kid from a distance isn’t rape, but it is abuse. See the difference? The hyperbole just weakens your position, and that’s what I’m trying to point out.

            You’re worried about my deliberately wrong acronym gag… because some sexual abuse isn’t quite rape… when cops don’t even care whether these children exist.

            Pass.
