    Trying to ban everyone from sexual content until 18 is a uniquely modern take.

    You keep equating all forms of media that might depict sex, nakedness, or even erotica as porn.

      It’s been a while, but I’m confused. I never said anything like that, but that is essentially the government’s point of view. Erotica requires one to be 18 to see, whether written, drawn, or photographed. Depictions of sex and nudity either ban everyone under 17 ( or 17 and under for NC-17 ratings), or expect parents to restrict those under 17 in the case of television as it can’t be moderated (for now).

      At any rate, I just wanted to respond and clarify despite the better part of a month passing.
