Yeah, maybe my people just messed me up.

I'm pretty sure we're now in a situation where most of our society's contention is driven by childhood-induced shame over sexuality in some form or another.

And there's not shit we can do about it because every time someone tries to make a campaign to encourage better sex-education, or even scarier, sex positivity among children, those people or groups get attacked for being pedos and predators.

This is going to be a social dividing line that gets sharper as time goes. There will be people who have a shred of intellectual capacity and haven't been hollowed out be capitalism, who raise their kids to be free from shame and shackles of toxic social norms and let them just live and discover on their own what sexuality means to them.

And the orcs, who want literal dark-ages levels of shame, hate and fear and of course power-imbalances as deeply rooted foundations to anything and everything related to sex, and they will only want children associated with sex when it involves controlling them or worse.

"you keep messing with that thing and it'll fall off and you'll turn into a girl"

On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child

On the other.. probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao

Hahahaha, maybe they were onto something (this is a joke) -- I consumed way too much porn at way too young an age and I did turn into a girl! Dick never fell off though sadly

I don’t understand how these kids get caught. They gotta be really slow or something.

I was caught 0 times as a teenager. My mom never found my porn.

Modern operating systems are different than Windows 98. You think that you're sneeky and that nobody will find your porn folder and then your mom gets a "Popular files in your user group" mailing from "OneDrive Engagement" or a "Your browsing year wrap-up" by Microsoft Edge or a retargetting ad on the whole network because you looked at the Riley Reid fleshlight. Modern surveillance capitalism is really hard to escape.

A 30 year old friend of mine didn't know about incognito mode. A certain subreddit popped up, on his projector screen, as a recommendation when we were searching for a sports stream to watch. I don't think anyone else noticed or would really know what the sub was, but I later casually mentioned this really cool browser feature to use in case you need to search something weird.

I learned one shouldn't assume that everyone is familiar with all the digital tricks to hide what they'd prefer others not see.

You had enough motivation and technical knowledge, that's why. Most people don't even bother having separate storage with dual booting.

The plantiff is unnamed. This is a manufactured case to test getting the supreme court to pass a blanket ban on all porn.

Imagine going to school if you were this kid

it also works the other way around, interestingly:

• future is shit
• no vision
• nobody wants to have kids anymore
• women abstain from dating
• we have a loneliness crisis?!?

It's not even real. It's a fabricated story to push an agenda of a special interest group.

Edit: to clarify, the news story is real, the mom's story isn't. It's just a fiction to push the agenda.

Damn, he's Disabled and Disfigured now?

...What was he doing?

Why is the mom not responsible for giving her kid internet access.

Disfigurement? Kid's doing something wrong.

Ding Ding Ding! You Win!

Mom is joined in her lawsuit by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE).

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), previously known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, is an American conservative anti-pornography organization.[2][3] The group has also campaigned against sex trafficking, same-sex marriage, sex shops and sex toys, decriminalization of sex work, comprehensive sex education, and various works of literature or visual arts the organization has deemed obscene, profane or indecent. Its current president is Marcel Van der Watt. The organization describes its goal as "exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation".[4]

Mum wanted to make it everyone else's problem that she can't have a frank discussion about sex with her own son so probably been making poor judgements all the way through

I hope those aren't his real initials because it seems like there's more than enough information to identify him between the article and complaint filing. Poor kid doesn't deserve to be dragged into this.

conservatives are pushing for full ID submission.
