The Good Ending

Complete and utter embarrassment for quote/unquote "them," and business as usual.

The Incredibly Weird Ending

Nobody actually "ends" quote/unquote "questionable content" per se, and it all just gets gated behind the most ridiculous walls, as if quote/unquote "kids" "MUST" be protected from the ABSOLUTE HIGHEST-to-the-most-MENIAL definition of "questionable" quote/unquote "they" can muster up. I'm talking "Anime fans can't even play their favorite SHMUPS anymore," because those fighter vehicles are being piloted by 'children' (lmfao) who MUST be protected AT ALL COSTS!!!1!1"

~

Essentially "they" are the beautiful folks who share the mindset of that 'children' should be put in a "playpen" online, because CLEARLY, 'NONE' of them are capable thinkers nor decision makers. /s Nah, but this time they're even going after the adults, because Karen took too deep a glimpse into "what 'the kids' actually do with their time," misinterpreted ALL of it, called them all all sorts of incorrect labels, and proceeded to witch hunt them all. Yeah, let's just call it what it is.

As 'endearing' as this 'concern' for "the youth™️" is, I don't think anybody should be forced to give up literally their personal information to random outlets the-world-over just because they don't like us. That's like telling you where I live if I defeated you in CS:GO, and it really upset you.

So either we end up going back to normal, or we end up in an EXTREMELY cringeworthy "age of 'truly adult' content," where moms, dads, grannies, and grandpas everywhere essentially enact the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme in all corners of media, and make like being an adult needs to be an "exclusive club membership" thing while being young means you need to go play with some "kiddie toys" or something. It's dumb, it's cringe, nobody wants it, and they're going to keep pressing for it on the solitary fact that many of us have "questionableness" about ourselves. It's like being profiled by the police, or profiled by religious people, and being made out to be of hostile origin solely because you play...what? Grand Theft Auto? World of Warcraft? Diablo? [Insert Other Popular Game That insert Massively Influential Group Disagrees With]? The snowball goes down, down, down, until it destroys entire established norms that never negatively impacted other facets of life, and that's the overall plan. Because we've weirded "Karen" out, and "she" can't stand our very existences.

It's essentially "the cool people" vs "the average people who've reached Level 999e303 on Candy Crush," lmfao, and it's adorable. Sometimes scary, but overall? Adorable.

Good for you.

Unfortunately, most parents do not agree with you.

I gave up trying to read that after the second or third sentence.

Sorry but that's a really simplistic and naive way of looking at things (aside from being terribly worded and hard to read).

There's a myriad of ways it can go. And many of them nobody knows.

I'm a parent. I completely disagree with censorship.

You don't protect your children by making sure they never get exposure to danger. You do exactly the opposite if you wrap them in bubblewrap so much they freeze like a deer in front of a car headlight the moment they face something they did not expect.

I remember once the little pre-teen or earlier guy in the channel (chat for moderns) knew more nasty crap from the internets than I did. Now granted I have always tried to avoid such things because even though it could be easily argued I am of such blood,I am not of the cloth, so I actually haven't seen a lot of weird crap on the internet. But anyway, there he was, like half a dozen years or so younger and was more up on it than I was.

Still, it's also true that poon is getting scarier and I don't like it things like this are probably related :)

That is a fringe position, most parents including myself don’t believe in exposing young children to incest porn or rape games to try and teach them some sort of life lesson, no respectable adult would even play content like that let alone allow their children near it.

Well sorry to bring it to you but thinking that any of what you just said is common or easy to access by children in the first place can only come from someone who don't know how computers/the internet works and is as "fringe" an opinion. I would even go as far as saying way more and by several factors.

The vast majority of children are in the "[other sex] eww, gross! Kiss [another sex person]? Ewww!" phase for a long time. It is at or close to adolescence that they start developing interest and that's mostly an hormonal and innate physical response. Absolutely nothing a parent is going to do is going to prevent that and at that specific point the adolescent is going to seek answers to questions they have good reasons to have.

FFS, when I was 12 all I had to do to see naked bodies was open my dictionary at the word "anatomy". And here we are in 2025 with people being offended at something which is exactly the same as the gated, fenced section any movie renting store had for 40-50 years in the past.

If you really want to protect your children then you should be a real parent and act like one by being close to your children and ready to explain them how life works. If you don't they they'll stumble their way around and the internet is simply another media where they can get access to that material from, not the norm. I hope you realise that even your grand parents had access to plenty of pornographic material well before the internet was even in its infancy...

Agreed I gather it is some kind of manifesto, and I prefer to not read those kind of things. They're probably trying to farm clown awards. There are twenty other threads about this, and now they're just burying other subjects.

When they smother the forum. They also smother the award givers. To be blunt if this forum is wall to wall porn. Twenty four hours a day seven days a week. Most casual conversationalists will just move along.

Wow...

If you have the attention span of a fish then might I suggest that you pick your battle and not engage in intelligent discourse then? Nothing wrong with choosing not to engage in such discussion but stating that you can't muster the will to read such a small message on a message board which is basically meant for such a purpose is... Almost a self report really. There is a huge difference between disagreeing with someone else opinion and not even reading and acknowledging a text and still judging it...
