Ok, I’m actually quite persuaded by this reasoning here. I think the consent aspect of this is something that I really failed to consider. I actually ...

I agree that harm is not the only consideration but I think it’s one of the most important ones for sure. I think the other big consideration is wheth...

We also usually keep people’s Internet history and pornographic preferences personal and private as well. Why do you think that adultery is a violatio...

Ok, I would like to present an analogous case to you as an argument for I think it makes sense to think that P is far less responsible for the harm ca...

I want to clarify that I was only talking about people that watch child porn in my OP rather than those that actually produce the content. It doesn’t ...

I was actually only talking about people who have possession of child porn and viewing child porn in my OP. I agree that production of child pornograp...

I think I was mostly talking about legality of the issues at question in my OP especially regarding the 4th paragraph of my OP here: This was meant to...

I agree that possession of child porn is worse than prostitution. I actually don’t think that prostitution is really that bad though. Yes it can enabl...

Ok, I understand

I’m not sure if you are responding to my OP or to my previous reply to your comment. It would be helpful if you can quote the passage in question

Ok, you have a point. The average person who watches child porn might give a small amount of profit to the producer. I still think that cheating cause...

I want to clarify that I was specifically talking about the possession of child porn as opposed to the production of child porn. I agree that taking a...

I did not list all the differences between these things in the OP because I wasn’t looking to write an essay on the topic lol. I gave you 4 paragraphs...

I agree that there being an agreement is not the only moral consideration. I think that cheating is quite harmful to people and I think that harm cann...

I don’t think that adultery is victimless. I think it obviously harms the person who gets cheated on and it causes them a great deal of emotional dist...

Well, one could scam or hack someone that has child porn. But, most porn is free on the Internet right now because it is funded by scam advertising. I...

You have a good point here. The severity of having family members do drugs or commit suicide might be more severe. Though, there is another factor tha...

People that possess or watch child porn of any kind do not necessarily play a causal role in the creation of that content though. It is only if they p...

Well, thanks :)

I think OP is an argument for spending time with children rather than having children. You don’t need to be a parent to be in a position where childre...

But, what if the boss has special needs also and he’s also unaware that he is exploiting the worker?

I think we normally think differently about the case of the slave owner and the slave because it is often imagined by the listener of that hypothetica...

I would say no to all questions here and I think a lot of other people would as well. I don’t think we have any reason to care about some seemingly ab...

I actually changed my mind about the truthfulness of my OP after having a conversation with darthbaracuda. I think he/she pointed out a meaningful pra...

I think it shouldn’t be too difficult for someone that wishes that they had never been born if they could just go to the store and get euthanasia drug...

Ok, so the crazy person points a gun to your head and says you need to have sex with a stranger of the same sex or your child. You are infertile and y...

Not really, I’m saying that homosexuality and incest are morally equivalent unless certain practical considerations such as the risk of pregnancy are ...

I’m pretty sure the Bible does have some bad things to say about incest though. I think it probably contradicts itself on this issue. I think we would...

You seem to think that incest is bad in the same sort of way that having lots of credit card debt is bad. But, I think most people think incest is bad...

If you believe that life is overall bad for most people then you can, of course, argue for antinatalism with that. I just don’t see how the consent ar...

What’s the difference between a kink and a sexual orientation though? I’m pretty sure that, historically, homosexuality was viewed as a perversion jus...

Out of the 3, I think the only meaningful difference is that it occurs between close family members as this can create awkward situations that I think...

I think incest porn is only popular because it’s taboo. In fact, almost all porn seems to have taboo themes. For example, if you search the word “wife...

I don’t recall you asking me to clarify anything. What question did you ask earlier?

They aren’t the same obviously but I think most people would rather lose a million dollars of their lifetime earnings than to have someone make it so ...

No, I was wondering why you think the risk of bad pregnancies posed by incest is a major concern and a reason to condemn incest while also not thinkin...

So, would you say that it would be more wise for me to tell the billionaire in my hypothetical that I can’t speak on your behalf and risk you not rece...

I think incest would only threaten some families too. It seems that incest will always be extremely rare so I don’t see how it could threaten the conc...

My view is actually that both are not immoral. I don’t understand why we hate incest if we acknowledge that homosexuality is ok

And homosexuality wouldn’t? I wonder how many family relationships got ruined because someone came out as gay and their family didn’t like it.

I don’t think it’s common for any family to have any involvement or influence in the community in this modern age to begin with. I can’t remember the ...

I don’t think those are overly high either. I think older couples that try to have children also have really high miscarriage rates but I don’t think ...

Yes, that seems to be true. My understanding is that incest only creates a modest increase of risk for an offspring to have genetic disorders. Actuall...

I don’t see why it would, child molestation is really common and I don’t see why we need to look at incest as the problem. I think it’s like pointing ...

Homosexuals have contributed to higher rate of AIDS in our society though. I have heard that roughly 80% of people in the US that have AIDS are homose...

I think most fathers don’t necessarily like to think of their daughters as sexual beings to begin with. Regardless, I think you can desire someone to ...

No, I would make a more rationalist(rather than empirical) sort of argument for why I think incest between 2 consenting adults is more rare than homos...

I would say that it can very often be permissible. For example, suppose that a billionaire asked me if I want him to give you a million dollars. I kno...

Yep, I would say incest laws are pretty redundant if someone is only concerned with underage cases. I don’t understand why we wouldn’t just charge som...

I’m interpreting this comment to mean that you think it’s valuable or good to perpetuate your genome. Is that an accurate interpretation of this quote...
