So I live under a rock and had a friend mention the concept of Rule34 content. So I curiosity got the best of me and I went to r/rule34. All was okay until I saw my first questionable post. It was the Simpsons kids banging. Immediately went “wtf” and reported it to Reddit for potential CSAM.
I should have stopped there, I know, but I kept scrolling. There was more. Reported three or four more cartoon that featured characters that an underage in their shows before it dawned on me that me reporting those five or so posts might look incriminating for me, and then my anxiety took over.
Is it likely I raise a red flag with Reddit for reporting these posts? My rational mind says no, Reddit will either act or not act on the posts. But I can’t shake the fear that I’m now implicated in CSAM because I still opened the posts, and that reporting make me look suspicious?
I hope it’s just anxiety but I can’t really eat or sleep well since. It’s been about a week, and I haven’t heard a peep back from reddit about my reports
