Is it okay for a community like c/fauxbait to exist on this platform? (lemm.ee)

This probably isn't the best place for this but something I want to have been mentioned.

Obviously porn in general is fine, even the more risqué or honestly even unsanitary isn't really a problem to me. And yes I understand all the women are of legal and there's verification. But isn't this still problematic? They're being sexualized for the reason of looking like they are too young to be sexualized. That seems like a great way to encourage pedophilia. It's a gross concept, especially given the median age on this platform.

And yes, I've blocked it for myself because I'm too old to want to see that when I'm scrolling /all. But I still think it's a bad message to leave out there.

Also, quite frankly, if pedos are looking at adults to fulfill their sexual needs...... good.

So many people are so obsessed with villianizing these people that they want to obliterate any safe alternative. They act like EVERYBODY is just one image away from forsaking their desire for adults for good (says more about them than anything IMO, but I digress.)

Actual pedos just get aroused for what they get aroused for, just like everyone else. I get hard for women, gay guys don't. Vice versa. We don't talk about normal people waking up and choosing to be straight. 🤷 Alot of them are just as bothered by it as normal people are. Let them have their safe, victimless outlets.

Somehow, after all the previously hated things that have been normalised, people still don't get the idea they should mind their own business unless someone is actually being hurt.

I don't know anything about the mentioned community, and child abuse is certainly very bed and gets terrible reviews. It doesn't sound like that's what this is, though.
