I can't believe the number of people who are like "hide the p0rn from the kids!!1!" (and I'd dare say most of them read smut in their teens.. oh, hypocrisy!)

(Anonymous) 2013-01-05 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
not necessarily hide it, so much as put big "you are telling me you are an adult if you click/view this, so no take backs, capice" messages or splash pages to cover your ass

if the minor keeps their minority hush hush and they're just one more hit/reader, all's good

I have no problem with people putting up a message saying that, but it bothers me when they say they block users if they find out they are underage (although it's true that any teen worth their weight in salt knows to always lie about their age so it may be moot after all)

At the time, I had a note that said my blog was for adults only. They stated on the top of their blog that they were 13 and actually if I recall correctly, followed me mere minutes after I put the note up.

Sorry that bothers you, but I feel like I'm allowed to block anyone for any reason.

It's not really hypocrisy. There is a big difference between reading fic as a teen and having underage kids read porn you have written as an adult.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-06 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
When you're reading porn as a teen, you're an underage person reading porn that could have been written by an adult.

The hypocrisy is in saying, "it was okay for me to read this sort of thing when I was a teen, but it's not okay for current teens to read my writing because it makes me uncomfortable."

No, I don't really care if some kid is reading porn fic. I'm just not going to give it to them.

But you aren't? They're searching it by themselves, just like everyone else.

In my case, I met some people irl and everyone was exchanging tumblrs. I felt like giving my blog with porn on it to someone who I knew was underage was a bit too much like giving them porn. Hence making a sideblog.

Anon below put it best. It's not about 'caring' because, well, hypocrisy and all that. It's more like saying 'DON'T tell me so I can say I honestly had no idea in case we're found out'. In some countries, writing adult fic that is read by a minor can get you in serious legal problems even if you never intended it for minors.

Personally I think that if you're underage and you want to read/see porn, more power to you. But learn to lie about your age so you don't get in trouble and don't get others in trouble either.

It isn't about underaged kids reading porn though. Most people seriously don't care about that. It's about maintaining plausible deniability so people can't get shut down or sued.

The difference is who is taking responsibility for their reading habits. If the teen tells everyone they are underage, what they are doing is foisting the responsibility (and consequences) of their reading on the adults. If they lie, they are absolving the adults of responsibility and taking all the consequences themselves.

And there are consequences. We in fandom also live in the real world and have to deal with people who do not share fandom's values. Especially role players, communities, and archives that have porn need to be wary. Being tarnished as a sex offender is no small matter.
