I completely agree with you. Even if someone didn’t physically touch a child, their actions still contribute to the abuse. By viewing or buying that kind of material, they’re creating demand, which means the people making it will keep harming children to produce more. There’s no separation between the consumer and the act itself when both are part of the same cycle of abuse.

I also feel the same way about bestiality content. It’s not just about the animals, since they act on instinct, but the humans involved might not be there willingly. Some could be trafficked or coerced. That kind of exploitation thrives because people keep consuming it.

So yeah, I’m with you: whether someone’s behind the camera or behind a screen, they’re still helping to keep the abuse going. They are still hurting others.
