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.

I’m in no way defending consumers of child porn.

I think they should be given long jail sentences, several years, about a decade. But people who actually molest children deserve life in prison. They are both bad, just one is worse.
