Child pornographyChild Sexual Abuse Material – I was previously undecided on what to do, but now I feel that a discussion is necessary. Recently, I noticed that the NCMEC began using this term because it is more accurate than the current title. I also did further digging, and found that the Department of Justice also uses this term. According to Google Trends, the move towards this terminology started in 2021, and has only gained traction since then. I am can't think of any reason to keep the title as it is, but I'll start a discussion anyway. Scorpions1325 (talk) 01:33, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per WP:COMMONAME. At least that's my impression. But I am not actually going to search for either term on the internet to confirm that. Walrasiad (talk) 02:14, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose move per COMMONNAME, and definitely oppose that particular capitalization. O.N.R. (talk) 09:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose No evidence provided by nom. Ngrams [1] and g scholar [2] [3] clearly show current title is overwhelmingly dominant—blindlynx 16:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral WP:ARTICLETITLE doesn't depend only on the most common name but also on being precise and neutral. Having an article called "Child pornography" can be interpreted as an oxymoron and imprecise and misleading such as the same as writing an article called "Slave volunteer". One person could also make the assertion that the current title is not neutral such as if someone were to move the page about "Psilocybin" to "Shrooms" simply because it's more common especially for the people who enjoy it. I cannot agree with the suggested new title if only because of the capitalization which is not how we name things on Wikipedia but I do see how the current title is not neutral or precise and could be due for a change.

  • Oppose The proposed name narrows the scope, since it requires abuse. Sexting between teens would manufacture such material, but does not necessarily involve abuse, unless the nominator proposes that all minors are abused whenever they make such material, whatever the circumstances, even if they are a boyfriend and girlfriend who are under the age of majority. (such as the current U.S. law defines it, which makes such teens have a lifetime label of registered sex offender, for filming themselves for their same-aged partners). Instead of "sexual abuse" it should be "sexually explicit" because of the production by teens for their teen partners, which is still illegal and still covered by this article; Minor-aged sexually explicit material or a more descriptive title Material in which children and minors appear in sexually explicit situations because the categorization of child is different in different jurisdictions, where the limiting age of child may be significantly younger that the oldest minors, but they are minors in whatever jurisdiction, as they are below the threshold age for the production of such material. Note the the age of majority and the threshold ages for the production of such material varies across the globe. ;;; OR we just keep the current name, since it is the common name. ;;; the nominator has not used non-US sources to support the rename, so this could be U.S.-biased as well. -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 06:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per very clear WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add https://www.preventcp.org as a relevant resource for preventing child pornography, in the organizations section. EvelHazelnut (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but no. We don't link obscure websites that offer advice like "Lean in the direction of prayer and asking God for help" [4] as a means to deal with a global issue. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:58, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gamer's Dilemma

[edit]

I feel that this is largely out of place with the page as it discusses Simulated child pornography rather than "real" child pornography, should this be moved to the aforementioned page or similar ones or be kept as is? MagiTagi (talk) 16:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I second Magi's opinion, I believe it should be moved elsewhere as it seems to be conflating the two as if they were equivalent which said relation is hotly debated at very best and can be seen as outright slanderous at worst. Though this might just be because I am not sure if the "Gamer's Dilemma" is referring specifically to hyperrealistic simulations made to be indistinguishable from actual child pornography, or instead was referring to/also including cartoon/anime pornography such as lolicon/shotacon where a direct relation between the fictional material and realistic depictions of actual child sexual exploitation is pretty much nonexistent, in general, I think it is important that we differentiate the two from each other, but I still think either way it should probably go to another article.

Child pornographyChild sexual abuse material – While "child pornography" has been generally accepted as the WP:COMMONNAME for this topic, the article title policy is clear that that is not the only thing we must consider, and that article titles must also be neutral. I think there is also an argument that the common name has shifted in more recent times, with news outlets, academia, government agencies, and NGOs increasingly shifting to use "CSAM" (and similar terms).

As is outlined in Child pornography#Terminology and definitions, there has been a broad shift towards using "child sexual abuse material" (or similar terms) as the more neutral term that avoids the inaccurate description of abusive material as consensual pornography. This usage is supported by experts and academics as well as industry/law enforcement organizations including NCMEC (ex) and the US Department of Justice (ex) in the US, the UK Home Office (ex) in the UK, etc. Per the DOJ: While this phrase still appears in federal law, “child sexual abuse material” is preferred, as it better reflects the abuse that is depicted in the images and videos and the resulting trauma to the child. In fact, in 2016, an international working group, comprising a collection of countries and international organizations working to combat child exploitation, formally recognized “child sexual abuse material” as the preferred term.

Oppose for all the reasons we opposed it last time and the evidence that it is non-neutral is slim and do not outweigh COMMONNAME. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:30, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support the common name is inaccurate and reflects misconceptions that child abuse sexual material could ever be in the same category as consensual pornography. The current name is non-neutral with a bias towards advocates of legalized pedophilia which is something we should strongly oppose regardless of how it was normalized in the past.
