But there's no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We're a pretty bass ackwards society.
ironic you self censored "ass backwards" on a comment calling out censorship.
they wrote ass backwards ass backwards. It's a joke, not self censorship.
We're so ass backwards my go-to thought was the censored version.
Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?
Yes. Youtube. Cable TV. Every streaming service.
All have age warnings and restrictions.
So does pornhub.
YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, Max, etc. And that’s before we get into the bad faith false equivalence of comparing violence to nudity and sexuality. One is a natural and beautiful part of life, the other is literally violence.
Those all have age rating systems in place lol.
Wow, you didn’t just move the goalpost, you switched the sport. And “lol”, I guess?
How do you figure? The argument is that porn shouldn’t have age restrictions cause violence on tv and streaming media doesn’t…….but I pointed out that they does have age restrictions.
How is that “changing the sport”? What did you think we were discussing?
Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?
Putting it in the same perspective as the number that access porn.
Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.
Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.
Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.
The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.
What's funny is the Bible is worse than most of the books that are banned as far as depravity goes.
Lol.
You realize words still count right?
I repeat the above.
No, words don’t count as graphic violence lol. Graphic violence is defined as being in visual media, not written.
if that's the case, I hope you fall down the stairs and snap your tibia out of your skin and have to lay in your own pooling blood crying out in pain and anguish waiting for someone to call for help. only to have waited so long that you throw up on yourself and your gaping wound whilst you go into shock from blood loss.
how's that make you feel?
You think reading that would make me feel the same as watching a video of that happening to someone?
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA breath HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA
...seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz
Nah bro didn't you see his other reply? Words aren't graphic in any way ever. It's in the word. Graphic. There's no graphics in books, it don't have a graphics card!
