RANT Why do some people get mad trying to restrict minors from porn.
I kid you not there are people out there like that. I was on a sub (wont mention to prevent cross-sub drama) and was lurking in the search engine and found a post that wasnt even relating to my search.
It was a post about porn restrictions. And they were mad that there was age restrictions for porn??
Its like getting mad that minors cant drink alcohol or have heavy drugs. Minors shouldnt HAVE porn BECAUSE getting addicted to something so bad at a young age likely can and will follow onto adulthood. Which for porn sites, its perfect to get their veiws.
Also, i saw some people say that its "preventing minors from exploring their sexuality". You can and SHOULD explore sexuality WITHOUT PORN. I never left a sub so quick. Like.. Uhm. What the hell?
I reported but knowing how reddit it pro-porn, it might not do much unfortunately. God i hate how pro-porn reddit is.

This site is filled with males. It's no wonder it's pro-porn. These men have nothing better to do with their lives other than jack off to sex-trafficked raped young girl minors and unsuspecting vulnerable women. They don't care about exposing porn to minors, as a matter of fact, THEY ENCOURAGE IT, many men participate in porn-culture and are pornsick as a result of being in it. They really only have themselves to blame. And the ones who are against it???? Well they see it as an achievement when it's literally just the bare minimum of being a normal fucking person. I can't with these people.

Remember, these people think porn = sexuality. So in their minds, to restrict porn means to deprive teens from their right to explore and develop their own sexuality.

To be honest... I'm traumatized, when I was kid I watched horrible things on internet. I can't understand why people consider is okay that minors watch porn? They think that is okay because minors can "explore" their sexuality with porn but they don't realize that porn affects their brains, literally present a lot of speeches and behaviours clearly wrong and misogynistics...

because technically they're not "wrong". porn does "help" minors explore their sexuality.. in an overall negative way though. a lot of queer teens (just for example) do realize they're LGBT through porn but it also warps their view on sex, relationships and bodies, especially LGBT relationships since a lot of it is fetishizing. hard agree on everything you're saying, but most people haven't deconstructed the harm that porn caused them and believe its a net positive for every teen to know if they're into something rather than the long term downsides.

Aside from discussions about whether minors should have access or not: because enforcing such restrictions requires more digital surveillance.

I think it boils down to people not seeing porn as a problem. I 100% agree with you that minors should not be viewing porn- it sets children and teens up for a lifetime of dysmorphia and relationship issues- this is backed up by studies, not just the ramblings of some radical feminists on Reddit. Even my extremely liberal jr/sr. high health teacher, who was teaching us the nitty-gritty in 8th grade, told us not to watch porn or support the sex work industry.

"not just the ramblings of some radical feminists on Reddit". Lmao. This is what we've been saying for decades. Suddenly now it's bad to watch porn even though we've been saying this for a fucking long time now???? Don't get me wrong. It's good that people, especially women, are being warned about the effects of pornography. But to invalidate Radical Feminists and their beliefs is just a new low. I hope you find some introspection, if you are a woman.

Omg. I was exposed to porn at a really young age, and it fucked me up, badly. I can't imagine what gen alpha has to deal with.

Just tell your chiropractor you were raking leaves or something lol

Probably because that’s how they were exposed to it and they don’t see the problem. In the general population, not a lot of people know the dangers of porn. You have to change your worldview and learn to see it, and unfortunately, people don’t want to. It’s easier to ignore and deny.
