Unpopular opinion - who cares about porn? We should just normalise people having sex. If it's about the kids... maybe worry about the hyperviolence going on everywhere instead?

I kinda don't want YouTube to show my 8 year old daughter porn ads.

And sure sex needs to be normalised, and my daughter needs to learn about it soon enough, but porn isn't just normal sex... It's often quite extreme and exaggerated, or even semi violent. And I'm not one to kink shame anyone, but I still think young people should start learning about the more "vanilla" kind of sex. Once they are comfortable with their sexuality and their body they can explore on their own.

Porn can be quite shocking and frightening if it's a person's first introduction to the topic of sex.

But besides that... I don't have a problem with porn, but I don't want it pushed on me.

That's half my point. Why is sex such a no no, but glorified hyperviolence is perfectly acceptable?

It doesn't have to be one or the other. I'm sure plenty of people don't want to have either shown to them without consent.

Yeah I'm one of them. I was merely pointing out the inconsistency in having all this hue and cry about porn when violence is ignored
