Acronym puns aside. I just don't get it, to me it feels like there were no groundbreaking or even major breakthroughs in gaming ever since, like what, 2011? Alright, 2015.
An acronym for "Child Rape Media" would be CRM, possibly pronounced "kerm" or "krum." Either way, it wouldn't even be the correct initialism, since those aren't even the same letters as "CP."
It absolutely does not. This is what absolutely drives me fucking crazy about this, that not a single person who makes this assertion has actually looked up the definition.
There is nothing about consent in the definition of the term "pornography". "CP" doesn't imply thinking it is okay, and "CSAM" is for virtue-signaling losers who probably also correct "homeless" to "unhoused" because they think that's the same thing as helping.
I think the main issue is that CP kind of normalizes it and associates it with regular porn while CSAM makes it clear how bad it is.
I do mostly agree that it doesn't really matter much which is used and unhoused does annoy me a bit. It's bothersome being corrected I guess but it's nothing to get mad about either tbh.
Literally noone in the history of the world thinks that you can normalise child porn by calling it child porn. But some people, faced with the difficulty of making a real difference, seize in the only thing they feel they can control: other people's language.
Truly the two of the greatest games in gaming history.
Its funny how now the giant companies with infinte money just make 20 years old games but with unreal graphics. I wonder, how the advances in gamedev technlogy will turn out for indie devs in same 20 years.
Godot and Unreal are both improving in different directions but honestly I don't think small crews will be any less limited by their time needed to create than they are now.
I would like to think a lot. Just because some are going this route doesn't mean all of them are. I have played a lot of games with some new game mechanics that werent around and it will continue to happen.

GTA: San Andreas and Cyberpunk 2077 for anyone wondering (like me)
And for any unaware
SA can mean Sexual Assault
CP is sometimes used as an acronym for Child Rape Media but I don't think its very fitting, personally.
Another Acronym thats better is CSAM but honestly why are we even abbreviating it at all?
I thought "CP" was "Child Pornography"
Thats what I said

Then they could have said that. That's literally not what they said.
Now would it be a CP or a CSAM in the case of the video of children consentingly doing it between themselves?
Basically every teenage couple...
All Child Pornography is Child Rape Media, so CP is an acronym for it.
A difference without distinction.
Its just not how acronymns work
But it is how synonyms work.

I always just assumed CSAM was people trying to exclude illustrated kiddie porn from the definition since no sexual assault takes place.
I believe the A stands for abuse

The ones advocating for it are child protection agencies, not randos on the internet with no control.
I found it annoying as well at first but it's easy to get used too. I don't see the harm in it.
CP is great, I can't get enough of CP!
Donvict Drumpf, is that you?
Don't undersell SA. I wouldn't be the person I am today without SA in my childhood.

People were always limited by time. Its just that now developers can reuse solutions created by people who already spent time on inventing them.
Standing on the shoulders of giants predates the video game industry by a lot.

This is a 16 year gap, not 20. And 20 years before San Andreas, Super Mario Bros. wasn't even out yet.
Experiencing the original Donkey Kong lcd handheld as a child and TLOU as an adult is pretty amazing
