That's like saying Bukkake isn't pornographic because it's rather disturbing and a lot of people wouldn't derive any pleasure from it. Call a spade a spade, indeed. Child pornography is a type of pornography, and that is why the term will persist.
What annoys me is the way that it is portrayed as if it were part of the regular pornography business, but this will be the case regardless of what name it is given. It's rather naive to think otherwise, in my opinion.

Regardless of the disturbing factor, bukkake and other genres of pornographic content are performed by consenting adults, or at least, adults who have the ability to consent.
Situations that involve children, minors, and those unable to form consent are exploitive. Not the same.
And, as I mentioned.. it WOULD be considered pornographic by those who derive pleasure from it. But by calling yourself a pornographer, AND calling CP "pornography" you're (albeit perhaps unwillingly) making yourself part of that group. Doesn't matter if *you* know the difference, the fact is that general society doesn't.
What annoys you is the way it's "portrayed as if it were part of the regular pornography business" and yet you argue about changing the usage of the word? Who do you think is going to portray it differently for you?
It's naive to think that such a change would be easy.
It's also naive to think that we don't have the power to make the change occur.
