This probably isn’t the best place for this but something I want to have been mentioned.
Obviously porn in general is fine, even the more risqué or honestly even unsanitary isn’t really a problem to me. And yes I understand all the women are of legal and there’s verification. But isn’t this still problematic? They’re being sexualized for the reason of looking like they are too young to be sexualized. That seems like a great way to encourage pedophilia. It’s a gross concept, especially given the median age on this platform.
And yes, I’ve blocked it for myself because I’m too old to want to see that when I’m scrolling /all. But I still think it’s a bad message to leave out there.
Well, being real, the problem with that is overblown.
Yeah, it’s creepy, and you run into hebephiles using it as sexual material. There’s also enough people that can be a sexual focus for actual pedophiles in the kind of pictures typical on the old r/fauxbait and similar forums (I have no clue if any exist in the fediverse or not).
But people are bugging out of their fucking minds about the shit. It really isn’t some kind of pervasive problem.
And, if you start blaming the women in the images for their body, you cross into asshole territory. There’s a reason age verification laws exist for sexualized imagery. You really can’t always tell age by looks, and you shouldn’t be interfering in the acts of other consenting adults.
It ain’t my thing, but I’m sure as hell not going to claim some kind of moral authority to deny some woman the freedom of her body just because it icks me out that she’s small and young looking. And that’s where it ends up. It’s one of those things where you can’t prevent the hebe and pedo philes from enjoying the material without interfering with the rights of the models.
And, on a real level, they’re adults. They’re age verified. Anyone viewing such things knows that. So even the hebe-pedo viewers aren’t actually doing anything wrong. They’re using adult sexual material. There is a moral difference there that does matter.
Does it turn my stomach? Yeah. But that’s simply not a good enough reason to go on the warpath.
Also, quite frankly, if pedos are looking at adults to fulfill their sexual needs… good.
So many people are so obsessed with villianizing these people that they want to obliterate any safe alternative. They act like EVERYBODY is just one image away from forsaking their desire for adults for good (says more about them than anything IMO, but I digress.)
Actual pedos just get aroused for what they get aroused for, just like everyone else. I get hard for women, gay guys don’t. Vice versa. We don’t talk about normal people waking up and choosing to be straight. 🤷 Alot of them are just as bothered by it as normal people are. Let them have their safe, victimless outlets.
