Isn't that what pedophiles do? Any sex with someone so young is sexual assault.

I'd distinguish between passive consumers of CSAM and child rapists. Both are terrible, the latter is worse.

DIY vs. outsourcing. Your actions are still harming children.

DIY paedophilia is a hilarious phrase.

It conjures images of a world where professional paedophiles get sponsored endorsements, there are hobby stores for amateur paedophiles, and Tucker Carlson complains there's too much CSAM involving immigrants.

Pedophiles have many different paths. All of them are sexually attracted to children. Some run away to be hermits. Others molest or rape children. Others seek therapy. Some take medication to castrate themselves and eliminate all sexual urges entirely. Some write disgusting fiction. Some make disgusting art. Still others seek out CSAM. Some roleplay their desires with partners their own age.

This guy had all these options and chose the worst possible one.
