Quote from: Skin Flick on Today at 02:32:50 AMI'm currently working my way through this one again. Something that stuck out to me this time around was Peter's remark that the term CSAM is being used more often "because the word pornography apparently didn't have enough rape in it"

I re-read that bit and there has to be some beehive poking going on here. You missed off the point where he finishes the sentence saying "... when specifically placed next to 'child'." This is kind of absurd because the term CSAM is an attempt to force the terminology away from the representation ("porn") to the act behind it ("abuse"), and this is exactly what he does in his work to a certain extent. So to my ears and eyes he's kind of arguing with himself here.

You're right! This might be one of his more...paradoxical works? This one or Ingratitude maybe.
