Shocker... Vaush isn't just a pedo, he's a stupid pedo.
He is very dumb. In recent years, oil and mining companies using foreign slave labour has been litigated in the UK and Canada successfully, and the courts have set a precedent against any corporation whose subsidiaries exploit such labour.
To be a functioning and contributing member of society, you have to take your chances and purchase a phone or a computer or a car or food, and trust that the system will correct itself. Exploitation may exist everywhere but we are not actively looking for it, we happen upon it. Sometimes for convenience, sometimes for necessity.
Whereas child porn is already banned and heavily frowned upon. You have to seek it out. Your average person probably can't just find child pornography easily, whereas they can drive to a store and buy a mass-produced object within 15 minutes.
Unlike a computing device, you can live a normal life
without child porn (although pedos like Vaush will argue otherwise).
Also... there is a huge difference between buying and using an object that is 500 steps removed from exploitation and specifically designed to make you feel emotions such as comfort and desire (i.e. a nice laptop) and
videos of a child getting violently abused on camera.
If I show someone a random computer, there is no way they can confirm that the object was produced by slaves. If I show someone child pornography, it is abusive in itself (although pedos like Vaush will argue otherwise).
I don't understand why people call him a good rhetorician. He sucks. He just makes dumbass analogies to justify his own shitty biases (marvel movies comment re gore to justify succumbing to mob violence, african silica mining to justify child porn). Sure, he has a conventional radio voice but if you write down the shit he says on paper it's CRAZY stupid.
His argument here is akin to me saying it is okay to consume (mind you, jerk off to) videos of puppies getting murdered because other people eat meat. How do people fall for this disingenuous shit?
