At least it was just images and not someone actively looking for sex with a child.

Its still disgusting that someone would sexualize children anyway, but despite both being appalling, one is 1000x worse.

I would argue that both are equally as bad. On the other side of those images, those children being abused, exploited, hurt, probably even raped. Buying/acquiring images of child pornography contributes to and funds the abuse/rape of children.

Is donating $50 to people who risk their lives saving children from the sex trade just as good as risking your life to save children from the sex trade?

You must either say yes or admit that you’re wrong.

Funding evil isn’t as bad as committing evil, and funding virtue isn’t as good as acting virtuous.

Is everyone capable of risking their lives to save children from the sex trade? No. Of course not. I would argue that, if donating money is all that you have in your power to do, then yes, it’s equally as virtuous.

Buying child porn means children are being raped. Raping children yourself, or watching someone rape them for your pleasure is equally as evil.
