Lame sauce. Can our elected officials just freaking decriminalize weed instead of worrying about dumb crap like this?

    Protecting, say, 17 year olds from deliberate access to porn is weird when you think about it. If they want porn, they are post-pubescent and therefore sexually mature.

    “You are not 18 therefore you cannot have sexual interests” is a weird take on the face of it.

    Maybe lock up the weird/dangerous stuff, and make it hard for little kids to see, but otherwise, knock yourself out.

      Also by restricting access for sexually mature people it opens a means by which adults can provide access as a way to prey on them.

      The reason adults shouldn’t be fucking 17 year olds isn’t their bodies, it’s the fact that the age of majority and difference in experience means for a massive power imbalance
