You mean the immorality of sexually exploiting other people without their consent?

Okay, this question probably should be asked from a throwaway, but I'll bite: do you consider imagining some person, without the consent of that person, engaging in a sexual act, to be immoral? Putting this imagination of yours onto a paper, in the form of words or drawing?

Or is the problem here is the fact that such imagining was "commissioned" to a third party (I believe I have seen this opinion somewhere long time ago)?

> do you consider imagining some person, without the consent of that person, engaging in a sexual act, to be immoral?

Of course not. But that's a universe apart from producing and distributing sexual images of unconsenting others.

Is it though, if your neural link uploads your subconscious into the cloud for safety ?

Yes, third party automated "imagining" is the problem:

the immoral part makes it even sexier

And people wonder why there is a “male loneliness epidemic”.

americans are particularly moral - its their puritan past

Hey being stuck up is great. It creates sublimation , means ton of work, overcompensation (aka porn) and its great for institutions building, suppressed perverts make great servants of bureaucracy. The smithers effect is very real.
