I understand what your position is, I'm fairly sure, but I still think it's stupid and naive. You're living in a fantasy world. "Everyone should be an intelligent critical thinker who is able to make appropriate moral choices based on a strong internal code/monologue! They should all be smart enough to know right from wrong at 16, even though many adults still don't seem to have that concept on lockdown, because I have declared Education!" is directly at odds with the world around you, wherein people are NOT intelligent, they are dumb monkeys.

Something like Religion, as an example, is a necessary tool to teach idiots that "Killing is bad". You see American dimwits constantly all "Wait, if you don't believe in god, that means you must be ok murdering people and sinning!", because they are dumb, and incapable of the kind of thought you seem to think should be universal. There's a subset of the population that will always be dumb monkeys. IQ's have an average, which means half the population is dumber than the average person you know, and you're sitting there acting like "no no, if we just magically make everyone smart enough to realise X and Y, then we don't need to do Z!". Dumb monkeys need guard rails and supports to properly function. And we're not talking about some higher art form or revolutionary idea here, we're literally talking about step dads raping their step daughters in pornography, the most base and deplorable forms of entertainment, which is consumed by the most base and stupid segments of the population. It's the sort of shit incels watch.

As for kids being 'allowed' to see it, dude, seriously? Even before the internet, kids were getting porn in grade school. Again, you're basing your take on some magical fantasy land, with kids who obey every rule, and citizens who are inherently moral.

Maybe you should worry about how the unfiltered media channels in the US has resulted in your country destroying itself, rather than try to pass judgement on other nations choices to try and support dumb-men from being coerced into being loser incel manosphere andrew tate emulating right-wing drool factories. Like the very demographic this sort of thing is looking to 'improve the social outcomes for' (young men), is the same one that was mobilized as the moron-voting brigade by the right-wing pedo rulers that you all chose for a leader.

As for "I just missed one netflix show", yeah, ok, whatever, back pedal some more. You missed an award winning Netflix show, which means you missed all the award ceremony announcements associated with it. You also missed all the news that was going on about it for a couple months as they were discussing its social commentary on young boys and the manosphere, at a time when America was going full republican manosphere mode. I'm guessing you missed it because you're in an American news bubble, which would've been all "We can't publish any news about this! It'd be negative towards our republicans/right-wing, who pretty much identify as drooling manosphere cucks!". You then basically declared that it wasn't a thing because you hadn't seen it -- your whole country basically plugged its fucking ears and instead of addressing the issue presented by toxic masculinity, you fucktards elected toxic masculine role models who are now dismantling any respect or good will America may've had, threatening to genocide entire civilizations and to attack your allies. That's where your position leads in reality.

You’re living in a fantasy world.

Says the guy who thinks handing over control of the internet to authoritarian dipshits is going to end well.

As for kids being ‘allowed’ to see it, dude, seriously? Even before the internet, kids were getting porn in grade school. Again, you’re basing your take on some magical fantasy land, with kids who obey every rule, and citizens who are inherently moral.

Then this ban serves no purpose.

Maybe you should worry about how the unfiltered media channels in the US has resulted in your country destroying itself, rather than try to pass judgement on other nations choices to try and support dumb-men from being coerced into being loser incel manosphere andrew tate emulating right-wing drool factories.

Porn sites aren't funneling people into manosphere shit. They only direct to more porn and like 80% of it is incest shit at this point so practically everyone is viewing at least some of it. Not just incels.

your whole country basically plugged its fucking ears and instead of addressing the issue presented by toxic masculinity, you fucktards elected toxic masculine role models who are now dismantling any respect or good will America may’ve had, threatening to genocide entire civilizations and to attack your allies. That’s where your position leads in reality.

That happened because people aren't taught to think critically . So no, my position doesn't lead to this. NOT doing my position leads to it, and again, porn didn't lead people into that shit either.

Some of the most educated people in the world, ivy league sorts, were off raping sex traffic'd children on the USA's pedo island. They're also the cunts running the republican party. "Education will make people moral!". Sure buddy, sure. All evidence to the contrary.

"80% of the porn is incest rape stuff! There's an increasing trend in "step"-sexual violence. No relation, take no action, it's fine! Freedom to fap to violent anti-social and damaging things, just like our founding fathers wrote down in the pr0nstitution!". And if 80% of it IS incest porn, then what the savvy kids are sneaking access to is incest porn -- I'd rather they had a broader set of choices, ones that weren't so socially conflicted/inappropriate. Ideally, porn that better highlighted healthy grown up relationships/encounters. Teach those young impressionable porn craving monkeys that you need informed consent / a willing partner, rather than romanticising something like raping your step-sister while she's trapped in some stupid fucking appliance -- just walk up, rub her with your dick, and she'll be down! Go on, sniff your step-daughters panties, that way she'll know you want to fuck and will become your cumslut! Ridiculous shit. Absolutely nothing wrong with porn in general, but there is something wrong with porn that depicts damaging stereotypes and tropes, because as I've stated -- dumb monkeys emulate dumb monkey images. Like the UK's also banning/curtailing Strangulation porn, because of upticks in issues related to it. Hell, that 16 yo who sexually assaulted and killed his stepsister, she died via strangulation -- details haven't been released, but it's entirely plausible that he raped her and enacted a strangulation scene to boot.

Whatever dude, go fap to your incest rape porn all you want. Let other countries do better. The US's approach is not something anyone else should emulate at this point. Go enjoy your rampant gun violence, where the standard line again from America is "A lack of gun regulations isn't what leads to us having ridiculously high gun related violence! It's the few bad actors that are responsible! Guns don't kill people, people kill people! Regulation bad! Constant mass school shootings is just the acceptable price we pay for our freedumb!".
