Is porn bad for children? This topic seems to be getting a lot of discussion recently. What's the verdict?
>>532494 this joke was funny, like, the first 1 million times >durr you're on an imageboard that means you didn't turn out right >we're all such dysfunctional miscreants here teehee fucking faggot kys
>>532449 Yeah, but so is everything about society these days. It doesn't justify these new ID laws and mass censorship however. The internet shouldn't be built around coddling such a small portion of humanity. Parental controls should be promoted and parents should be held liable for protecting their kids instead.
Children should be able to look at whahever they want. It doesn't matter if it's porn or puppies if you force them to watch something they don't want to that's what fucks them up.
>>532467 >I didn't know octogenarians posted on 8moe, >Well, congrats on surviving the great boomer remover of 2020 Thanks I guess? If you're acting like this you must be 40 and had some of your services removed from Trumpty Dumpty. Had to look up what "octogenarians" means. So indicating I'm not a boomer you low life loser.
>>532505 How about you commit sudoko first normalnigger?
>>532619 If you think skibidi fucking toilet is the big boogeyman corrupting our youth, out of all the fucked up content out there, then you are retarded beyond measure. But your typing style has confirmed that already anyway, so keep on tarding and try not to eat too many dimes.
I like to stretch my churro chute over an autoway maintenance cone a teeny little bit more everyday
Yes but so are the chemicals in the food/water, a year of social isolation caused by quarantining, short-form videos destroying their attention span, nonstop exposure to social media, the destruction of physical education in schools, poorly funded public schools, and so on, Yes porn is bad for kids. It's bad for EVERYONE. That doesn't mean that everyone should have to give up their freedom to choose because parents want to treat their iPad like a babysitter.
>>532634 >Yes porn is bad for kids. It's bad for EVERYONE. Do you have a source supporting this claim?
>>532634 Teaching kids about porn at a young age is absolutely critical. The worst thing that can happen is to have a child not know what or why he or she is doing it when they are in the production of porn. It's never too early to teach the kids about basic human nature and it will only better prepare then for adulthood.
>>532449 its bad for everyone it fries your dopamine receptors,gives you a tolerance and then makes you more depressed
Probably but who cares
Is sugar bad for children?
>>536834 >and then makes you more depressed and stressed, like what a real substance withdrawal would feel like
>>532454 epigenetics also play a role on your genes. dna can change based on environmental input and even on what you eat. so a porn addiction will and can change dna function. look up epigenetics
>>532458 safety = freedom >>532516 kids should only be allowed to use a government made network for kids, like how i2p is like a separate internet, but in this example it would be for kids, so they don't stumble on harmful information that one normally wouldn't find in an irl library.
so the solution would be to split the internet into many networks. that would physically separate children from the internet without needing to use ID to verify that someone is an adult. maybe by creating a router that can only connect to that kid friendly alternate internet and only allowing children to have access to that internet from that router, while the other routers nobody underage would be supposed to know the passwords. that's the real solution
>>532449 We can't even begin to discuss the effects of porn until we address the contradiction of violence; so why is it wrong for a 15-year-old to watch a porn flick on his laptop in the security of his own bedroom, meanwhile, if that same person watches a movie filled with gore, watching torture, a man's eyes gouged out, stabbed, shot, brutually beaten, well that's okay because it's 'just a movie.' Porn flicks are also 'just movies.' It's inconsistent. Apparently watching porn 'traumatizes' kids, but watching murder doesn't. I'm personally a fan of the negative liberty approach: if what you're doing doesn't harm anyone, then you should be allowed to do it.
>>536881 >if what you're doing doesn't harm anyone, then you should be allowed to do it. Should people be allowed to have sex with a dead body? Let's say it's a person who not only consented while they were alive but also had no family or friends.
>>536899 The concept you're referring to is called "Moral Dumbfounding." Moral dumbfounding is a psychological phenomenon where people strongly maintain a moral judgment, yet are unable to provide logical reasons or justifications to support it. Coined by Jonathan Haidt, it describes situations, like consensual incest or eating dead animals, where people are certain something is wrong but cannot explain why, often resorting to unsupported declarations like "It's just wrong!" or expressing confusion. The concept suggests that moral judgments may be driven by intuition and emotion rather than explicit reasoning, with some theories also linking it to factors like cognitive load. See also; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_intuitionism But to answer your question, yeah sure, why not.
>>536881 >We can't even begin to discuss the effects of porn until we address the contradiction of violence easy, violent videos do not cause addiction, they're just informative on what one should do to not end up on the same situation. porn on the other hand literally rewires your brain like how a real addiction would, and that means brain damage. if young people are exposed to porn on a young age they will probably lose 10 iq points permanently.
>>536881 >I'm personally a fan of the negative liberty approach: if what you're doing doesn't harm anyone, then you should be allowed to do it. I'm against it. if what someone is doing is harming themselves but not others, they still should not be allowed to do it
>>536881 >Apparently watching porn 'traumatizes' kids, but watching murder doesn't. neither does. trauma only happens when someone is in a life or death situation (PTSD), or in constant stressors for a long period of time (CPTSD)
>>536919 There's no evidence to suggest that watching porn lowers IQ. At most, you can make the argument that it messes with dopamine release, but that's the exact same case onto society as a whole: internet is one big immediate-gratification machine that also messes with dopamine release, but I don't see anybody calling out for the banning of the entire internet. Same with videogames. >>536920 And who gets to make that decision, you? Furthermore you can apply that logic to literally everybody's lives: did you eat fatty sugary fast food for lunch today instead a healthy meal? Did you decide to browse the internet instead of studying for that important exam that will directly impact your future job prospects? Did you go out partying with your normie friends and drinking instead of getting a full night's sleep like you know is important for your body's health? All harming you; should we send in the state to micromanage people's lives then? Sometimes people have to learn their lessons on their own. People should have the right to be wrong. >>536923 I put 'traumatizes' in quotes because I was referencing the position the other side makes; that wasn't my line of thought.
I think of the show not just news and then think it should be by kids and for kids.

>>532449 Kids have always found porn if they wanted to. The internet just makes it easier. Before the internet, you just snuck your brother or father's Swank magazines. Or got a little porno booklet from a nasty truck stop vending machine. Or found that one really cool video rental clerk who would slip a porno VHS into your Land Before Time case for an extra fiver. Or watching scrambled skinimax for the occasional clear shot of a boobie. It's not that kids have access to porn that's the problem. It's the social reinforcement. At least in previous generations, kids knew what they were doing wasn't socially acceptable. Kids would pick on other kids suspected of masturbating. There were myths about growing hair on your palms from cranking it out too much. Now, not only is porn pretty much everywhere - your fucking mom has an only fans account. And your weird ass has access to hundreds of sites that cater to your very specific and autistic fetish, where everyone there tries to tell you it's normal and you should be proud - if not actively try to groom you into ERP or chopping off your dick so that it's not gay when they fuck you in the ass. Before the internet, you buried that shit as deep as you could because you had no idea that anyone else even shared that fetish, let alone who did, and talking about it was a good way to end up having to be homeschooled due to all the bullying and ass kickings.
All porn is bad... until a feminist hates it, then it becomes good!
>>536920 Try it. Try and stop me from doing something I want to do that hurts no one but myself, see what happens. I wouldn't let you in past the fucking doorway.
>>532449 In a world where AI gen exists, trying to ban or restrict porn is moot and pointless. In 5 years or less kids (and everyone one else for that matter) will be able to generate an infinite amount on demand from the comfort of their own computers without anyone ever knowing. Not just stills but video too. And it could be of anything their hearts desire: complete fiction, famous celebrities and actors, classmates, classmates' parents, space aliens, whatever. On top of that they'll even be able to self insert themselves into the action too. Kind of reminds me of ST TNG and how someone brought up once that realistically once a civilization invents something like a holodeck then that's pretty much the end state of that civilization. It's only dew to author fiat and the plot armor the whole setting has that that didn't happen to the Federation.
>>536954 Yeah one of the cartoon channel at midnight turned into porn channel until 5 or 6 am. I did end up seeing it hence why i know it at age 6, but after 5 minutes i got disinterested because i didn't really understand wtf was going on and haven't started masturbating until i was 14 i think. It really depends on the kid too, but like if they want to find it, they will find it. Don't lock it up, sit down and talk through it. Like doesn't need to be anal deep, just surface level and how they really don't need to consume such content until they hit certain age.

>>536965 Our local PBS station used to run softcore porno videos from 3 to 5am back in the day. Apparently, it wasn't that uncommon, but after the scandal when a few stations got caught - every other PBS station across America pulled the racy stuff and started playing Benny Hill under the guise of being "cultural". Used to have to get up early anyhow since we were the first on the school bus, and we'd watch the Muppet Show while getting ready, but a few times we got up really early and discovered Benny Hill. So we started getting up for school EXTRA early just so we could catch the end of the show and watch him get chased around by girls in their underwear. And if it wasn't that, we were playing Street Fighter II and playing as Chun Li just to get that perfect pause screen so we could whack it to her panty shot or cranking it out to Body Electric or whatever fitness show had fit women in leotards doing "exercises". So it doesn't even matter if you ban porn or not - kids are going to find something to beat off to. Saying that it's somehow worse or different because she's getting blown out by XXXXL Dragon dicks in 4k is the same bullshit reasoning as saying that improved graphics in video game violence enhances a child's likelihood to grow up being violent. But it wasn't the "realistic" graphics of the Sega Genesis or GTA III which was causing crime to rise - it was social reinforcement that was the real problem. Largely niggers being turned hyperviolent by hanging out with other hyperviolent niggers in the ghettos and being told by everyone that it was ok. That it's something to be proud of or a part of your identity. Not that different than how kids get groomed into weird fetish shit online like I mentioned earlier.
>>536971 And beyond that - you what kids used to do before they had easily accessible hardcore pornography to beat off to? They fucked each other, that's what. When I was in school, there were girls still in middle school that were getting pregnant. One bitch I knew had four kids by the time she graduated. A whole fucking family. And to be fair, the guy that knocked her up did her right. He put a ring on that slut, got a decent job right out of HS, and produced three more kids before he unfortunately died about 10 years back. Candles that burn twice as bright lasting half as long, I guess. But you don't see that anymore. At least nowhere near the levels you used to. Rates of teenage pregnancies have dropped off a cliff, because at least you're not gonna get sued to oblivion for sexual harassment and cyber bullied by the queers and the pink hairs for blowing your load all over your computer monitor.
>>536971 Holy hell those are some homely women. We've come a long way and now the zoomers will glorify any fat bitch who dangles her utters in dewdrop glasses. We're gonna go straight back to whatever the fuck THIS was.
>>536975 They're British, what do you expect? There's a reason why they used to sleep in separate beds and fucked in the dark. Still, just being thin makes them a 5/10 baseline compared to modern women.
