Also I wanna say. I read books and read fanfiction that had 'adult content' in it from about the age of 13? I very specifically remember being in Year 8 and reading the book 'Marked' by P.C. and Kristin Cast. A scene confused me because it had reference to a character giving someone a blow job in a back alley. So I asked my mum to explain it to me and she took the time to sit down and explain what 'blow jobs' were. She didn't take the book away, she just explained and I learnt something and it wasn't scary it was just. A learning moment.

As I got older, I started needing online resources because I wasn't being told the information elsewhere. I remember in year 9 we had sex education that focused on condoms. At the end of the class I awkwardly went up to the teacher and asked about lesbian sex and protection. I was told that wasn't something we talk about in class and that id have to learn when I was older. So I turned to the internet, and looked it up there.

And look. I'm not saying that there's not a problem with increasingly younger kids being given free reign online without parents even thinking to care what they're looking at. I also don't think that 7 year olds should accidently stumble upon BDSM scenes. But how often is that actually happening?

And teen-agers who are figuring out who they are, what their sexuality is, and just you know. Reading stories. Writing stories even. Deserve avenues to think about and explore that and just generally work things out for themselves.

Also, the much much much more dangerous part of online behaviour for children and teens is grooming and predators online and these laws are going to do a dogshit job at stopping that from happening. Especially as the laws are explicitly teaching that online safety is about giving your personal details out to websites and companies rather than. You know. Keeping yourself safe online through pen-names.

Sorry I know I've been on one about this today, it just pisses me off.

I'm so sick of defending shit I don't even like. I hate porn. I think gender and sexuality are boring. I've never taken an illegal drug and have no interest in doing so. But people won't back the fuck off and let people live their lives so here we still are, still on the front lines with this shit. "You guys make everything about" I'D REALLY LOVE NOT TO, MATE, BUT WE'RE NOT THE ONES CREATING PROBLEMS HERE. Stop trying to control people's lives and we'll all get a chance to shut up about it, but unfortunately the Moral Police are out here endangering lives and livelihoods so here we still are. Forever.

wild how like PCOS, endometriosis, vaginismus & hell, even frequent yeast infections are “mysterious” with no well known cause and little to no decent treatment, but we have tons of supposedly well researched body fat removal methods, about 20 different kinds of breast implants, laser hair removal, and 100 different dermatologist recommended anti aging creams. we sure had the money and brainpower to cure those “diseases”

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

The anti-car culture on this website is so fucking annoying. Like, sorry I want to be able to get around without having to spend two hours taking three buses. Sorry I want to be able to go grocery shopping in the winter without having to lug heavy bags home through the snow on a fucking bike

Is there a popular stereotype that you’re never beating the allegations of?

(For example I’m a woman and a horrible driver 😬)

one of my most firmly held beliefs is there's no such thing as an inappropriate book for a kid and people try to debate me saying like buhhhhhh I shouldnt have been reading the things I did when I was a kid and it's like cool but did you die??? did anything bad happen to you?? or were you allowed to think about what you did and didn't know and walk away when something got too intense or whatever.

Oh, so my accounting homework is trying for a bit of narrative now. A bit of flavor. He's nervous, is he? Young? Oh we are implying things, are we? Telling stories through omission? Paying $975 in sales tax that will be credited in the books to sales taxes payable are we?
