What kind of degenerate society likens the restriction of teenager's ability to view porn to Fascism?


I should point out that they killed off (any form of gay, really) LGBT-rights sites with the reason "perversion", not just porn

If we're talking teenagers, imagine googling sex ed terms and having to enter your ssn[0]

Not talking on society level but I watched porn from maybe 12 onwards. Have problems with that? Know how I should have lived better than I?

You can't restrict anything anyway. Any filter is porous and everything gets thru. One hardcore image is enough.

The only thing you really achieve is humiliating the teenager, make him feel not in control of his life.

I know that you try to restrain me like I'm a parrot instead of taking to me; you are explicit in trying to conceal from me something that you point me at by this attempt.


Nice moving of the goalposts there. An authoritarian intrusion into private behaviour is an example of an activity done by a fascist state, hence the GP's adjective. But your comment converts that into the entire ideology of facism.

Also, nice job inserting 'teenagers' into a comment that made no mention of any age group.


As mentioned above, the article is referring to those 'under 18'. Does your 'state' not restrict access to porn magazines for those under 18 now?

In Florida it's a felony. Florida Statute 847.012 - Max 5 years.

Why? Because it's degenerate, and <i>your</i> state agrees.


Porn magazines? How quaint. Speaking of moving the goalposts again, the porn control in the article is a mandated smartphone app.

And no, my country does not require minors to install state-mandated applications on their smartphones. For any reason, porn or otherwise.

Also, pornography isn't degenerate. It's just sex. Exploitative pornagraphy is bad, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it. But we generally prevent minors from accessing it because they're not emotionally equipped to deal with sex stuff - same reason we have age of consent laws. Or do you also think that sex itself is degenerate, and that's why there are laws around teenagers and who they can have sex with?


"the downright Fascist porn restrictions (no I'm not bitter)" doesn't say anything about teenagers specifically.


"the country's telecoms regulator ordered monitoring applications be installed on the smartphones of Koreans aged 18 and below"


I read the article too.

sooheon, who suggested that he/she lives in Korea, made no such stipulation. Of note, distribution (and maybe possession -- I am not sure) of porn is illegal in Korea in general -- not just for those under 18.


Any society that is not fascist?


The one that sees this as a slippery slope to further intrusion into private life...


Confucius would've loved you


More like a sweet pair of Milonov and Mizulina, judging by her (?) nickname.
