rosiedoesYou know what really disturbs me? The number of people who want kids to have access to the porn they post in their journals.
Fucking hell.
They can dress it up as freedom of speech all they want, but I'm uncomfortable with the idea of very young teenagers accessing graphic sex, be it imagery or slash. And I know that they can circumvent precautions if they want to, but the adults squealing that they should be actively allowed to post what they like and that it's not their responsibility to care, is frankly disgusting.
If you post something, you need to be aware of who is going to see it and maybe moderate yourself accordingly. If LJ is giving you an avenue to do that - which really is only one click's inconvenience to other adults - why the fuck would you oppose it? Kids use this site. Kids click links. Fuck - I click links and find myself disturbed by the stuff I find there. Why are people so very eager to make sure EVERYONE, EVER can access stuff that might not be suitable?
It's sickening. And reads to me as nothing more than selfishness. People are more concerned about making sure everyone can read their glorious Mary Sue than they are just preventing the risk of the wrong eyes stumbling on it.
The fact that so many of the people arguing for it claim to be parents really freaks me out. What are they giving their children access to?
Fucking hell.
