I hope this encourages children to learn an important life skill that will help them in numerous ways: Piracy.

It’s honestly stupid. They just go to less moderated sites, or if you’re lucky, learn how to use a VPN and bypass all this nonsense anyway.

It is life changing really. I don’t recall ever paying for digital content. I still go to the theatres for an exceptional movie but that’s it. It has made me learn more about computers, be a bit savvy in tech. I can’t count how many times that has helped me get through my job. It really is an important life skill

I was looking at porn by 11ish, so sure. Imagine making people wait until 18 or 21.

Do you also have issue with them watching action movies with people dying?

I was beating my meat like a boxer with a speedbag to the Playboy magazines I found when I was 11. And that was well before the internet was available. Kids are gonna find something to whack/flick it to, get over it.

Remember those mail-order catalogues? Specifically the women’s underwear section. Horny teenagers are going to find something. And they have a vivid imagination.

Oh the humanity. They might get deeply inaccurate ideas about the perks of pizza delivery.

One should be vastly more worried about people who when they think of children think of porn, or vice-versa.

Normal people might think of children and think of playground safety or maybe how SUVs should be banned because they’re so much more dangerous for children on streets than normal cars.

People whose top concern when it comes to “children” is “porn” are emotionally invested in a certain kind of association that normal people don’t usually have in their minds in such strong terms.

I watched porn as a teen. Look, maybe in America you’re all puritans or whatever, but I started looking at magazines when I was 13 and then later found online porn (and hell I was LATE to the game according to my classmates). This is a reality y’all have to come to terms with. Teens watch porn.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
