In a world where deep fakes have advanced to the point where you can realistically recreate pornography: How do you feel about the depiction of pornographic scenes that would be seriously harmful if done to real people? (i.e., cannibalism, nonconsent, torture, children)

Honestly, if nobody is harmed? I mean: You could also ask why people watch films and shows like Hannibal. I don't need pure people, I just need people who don't actually harm others. It might be awfully weird what they are doing, but as long as no real harm is done to anyone...

I agree that harm can exist in a lot of ways that aren't typically honored - but on the flip side, harm can be used as a weapon. For example, my abusive father would often insist he was hurting because of things we did. It's important, then, to have a clear understanding of harm.

One common way is like... boundaries? Yes you might hurt someone by breaking up with them, but it's "within your right" to execute that harm, because your own needs "come first" or something. And that's totally fine. Hurting people is often necessary and important to preserve.

Libertarians tend to try to clearly identify the 'harm' that isn't ok - for example "punching someone in the face" or "stealing their stuff." This is why they tend to have a limited definition of harm - it's harm that "is never (or rarely) justified to do to another person"

And I agree that this can be an overly simplified division, and i'm totally open to talking about how to reduce harms that aren't just plain rights violations, but I still think the division is important - the harms that are ok to do to others, and the harms that aren't.
