Pornography is an act between consenting adults, so why do the media refer to child abuse as ‘child porn’?
This legitimising of child abuse and related imagery is an attempt to tell us that it is not abuse, it is on the same level as adult porn.
But the process of this imagery always involves the most horrific abuse of children by adults. It is never anything other than child abuse.
It is disturbing that even the BBC refer to child abuse as ‘child porn’ but given that the BBC covered up notorious child abuser Jimmy Savile for decades are we even surprised?
The Daily Mail has an almost sensationalist reporting style on child abuse, always refers to it as porn and uses click bait headings to lure readers in.
This desensitisation means that although the masses know that sick viewing of child abuse imagery goes on, it’s not registered as a problem of abuse, the victims and their ordeals are forgotten when it is referred to as porn. The MSM also focuses on individual prosecutions and largely disregards the global problem of organised child trafficking and abuse, as detailed in Pizzagate.
Of course according to the BBC, Pizzagate is ‘fake news’.
Terminology is important.
Fight back – whenever a MSM outlet reports child abuse incorrectly as ‘porn’ correct them – tweet them, spam them, show them up to be the enablers of child abusers that they are.
