      Counter Surface to Air Missile equipment or ordinance.

      Why not just say Child Porn or Explicit Images of Children? Who are we protecting by refusing to say the words?

      LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.

        its always been child porn, when your using cp in the context with media/human, if its medical forum, you rarely use it to describe chickenpox.

        Weirdly people have also been intentionally diluting the term to expand it to other things which causes a number of legal issues.

          I’ve seen Cyberpunk fans claim to be into “CP”, usually it’s an innocent mistake and don’t catch it at first, but are very embarassed when they do

      It certainly makes people in the Cyberpunk 2077 fandom, and cyberpunk in general, extra vigilant about how they shorten names.
