    I mean steam just had a bunch of games delisted because of draconian porn rules (save the children!)

    UK passed an insanely invasive adult content ID law

    All of this ‘save the children’ stuff starts with arguments like this. Erode nuance, make the attack on children seem bigger and more menacing. Erase the difference between teens and children, so everything is treated as if it was done to a five year old.

      Are you under the impression that anti-porn advocates are just confused about the differences between being 9 and 16 years old?

      Like, if you corrected them, they would say, “Oh, that’s fine then. Porn is all right.”

      Do you think that explaining the difference between pedophiles and ephebophiles to the Paypal board of directors will convince them to stop pressuring Steam to delist porn games?

      How does this conversation work in your mind?
