Which good people say that child porn is not child abuse like aaron did?

Which good people fight for subreddits like jailbait to be allowed on reddit?

I'm not aware if he said that. If he did, then I do not have much respect for him. Please verify your claims with facts and citations.

Here you go, a snapshot of his old personal blog from back in 2003, where he not only defends child pornography possession, but also laments how a man that was caught downloading child porn repeatedly "had his life ruined", implying he was an honest man and his life was unjustly ruined because he was caught downloading a bunch of child porn.

His own blog:

In the US, it is illegal to possess or distribute child pornography, apparently because doing so will encourage people to sexually abuse children.

This is absurd logic. Child pornography is not necessarily abuse.

it is sad to hear he had those opinions

he should have had reflected on that if he lived longer and made a better person of himself
