I'm not the only one who's annoyed by the whole "minors aren't allowed to see nsfw content or interact with it at all", am I?

it's just... ugh. teenagers NEED nsfw content to explore their sexuality. they need sexual contact too, actually, but that's a different thing. they need nsfw and, for antis, nsfw should literally be a better alternative for real sex, yet they still deem it bad.

and then there comes the government. they use nsfw content as the scapegoat for every little thing they dislike, and even if their ultimate goal is control and our private info, still, they ban nsfw content everywhere and demand to see our IDs "to protect the children".

and so, here comes the thing that made me snap into this post: on tumblr, I literally saw a person who created a group chat in telegram and now demand the bewcomers send them their IDs to prove they're not minors.

this is. this is. i have no words, only curses in three different languages. omfg.

(upd: im not sure if i chose the right subcategory for this post... if i did please tell me, im bad at differentiating things like these, and im sorry in advance)

I share your opinion, and I too am really quite annoyed by this tendency to treat NSFW content as somehow traumatic for minors. My point of view is this: either they don’t understand it, in which case it doesn’t affect them, or they do understand it, and therefore they’re old enough to access it.

In fact, I wouldn’t have been able to develop my sexual preferences without pornography, and it really bothers me how the "barriers" are becoming harder and harder to get past. Beyond the fact that I find this kind of barrier annoying in and of itself, websites are becoming more invasive—asking for ID, video recordings, and so on. Of course, then they go on to ban VPNs, because if there’s no right to access pornography, there can’t really be a right to privacy either.

Could be either general or Youth Rights - I moved it as that forum could do with some activity.

Minors DNI? All the more for me!
