Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I really don't give a shit let kids read fucking porn if they want at this point as long as its queer or femme do it just yo piss off the fascists I don't buy that its bad for kidseven if it was I say keep it just to piss off fasch and push window
You're not a parent, obviously.
Maybe some kids can read it. Or maybe, brainrot world of free information shows that, actually, kids aren't good at consuming adult material because they lack the context and understanding of consequences. Kids don't think long term, they don't comprehend abuse and trauma right. Letting kids read smut and bascially normalizing its content is going to leave them with a severely fucked up sense of sex and relationships because they have nothing else to base it on.
Is sex in real life like it is in porn? No. And if you watched a lot of fucked up porn and then just tried to do that shit like you thought "thats how sex is, right?" you're going to have a bad time. And that's neverminding that A LOT of adult fantasy is "Consensual Non-Consent" (or adjacent, stalkery stuff). So that's going to be kids baseline for how to behave in a relationship. What else would they have to compare it to? Is that a good idea? Do you think that it's smart to normalize to a bunch of teen boys that it's normal to just force yourself on women, because actually, just like in the books, that's what they really want and like.....
That's why kids don't need to be reading adult smut, they don't have the understanding to know that it's FANTASY.
Parent here, you sound completely unhinged. I would rather my school's library have an entire section of pokemon bdsm slashporn than the level of censorship that's currently happening.
Go read some Phyllis Schafly op eds and leave the rest of us alone
you want to have a school library stocked full of furry porn..... but you think I'm unhinged......
That seems like an argument for only letting them see good porn and good stories about violence and trauma and stuff not none owning the fasch worth it anyway and I don't think the exclusion mechanism is worth sorry I don't really care about your middle ground bullshit owning the fasch never surrender an inch even if it isn't one you want let them fight it exhaust themselves on it
No, the argument is, YOU can show YOUR CHILD this socalled "good porn", that's your kid, you're free to fuck them up however you want. But maybe, we don't all want to have fucked up kids just because you don't want to teach yours. Mabye, different people have different views. I know, crazy, it's like we're not all like you.
No you say the argument is that they'll be shown unrealistic shit and not know its unrealistic and hurt themselves ir others and that's a very real concern why do you think it only applies to porn why is media depicting sexuality dangerous but media depicting violence and politics and life ways not what the hell is wrong with you also it owns the fasch to include it and I think upsetting them and making them whine about that means they won't be doing guaranteed harm to kids so its at worst literary chemotherapy and literary chemotherapy is the coolest thing I've said in like a year so I'm down for it besides your children are people they don't fucking belong to you they aren't property they're people
don't have kids.
Its that lat part that made you so sure isn't it
