Creating, possessing, and distributing CSAM is illegal in the US and many other countries. Can you explain why you think it should be legal to create something that is illegal to possess or distribute?

I didn't say creating isn't illegal. I said I think it probably shouldn't be illegal.
Any crime that doesn't cause victims is just another way for an oppressive collectivist state to further control their citizens. If you are not harming anyone (like when creating but not sharing these pictures) then it simply shouldn't be a crime. Otherwise, what are you actually punishing? Thoughtcrimes?
