thene: PROTIP do not fuck with Minette (minette)

Yeah - we have all kinds of stories about complaints from parents, pressure to delete stuff, DMCA takedowns, etc, but only could bes about actual sex offence investigations. I don't blame anyone for avoiding RPing smut with minors, though! I would not do it myself, not just for legal reasons but for moral ones. It's still a very tiny niche aspect of the whole discussion about minors and fanporn, though, and I don't like seeing it dominate that discussion.

unpopular opinion: What really gets me is that there's a collective 'yeah, we know, shrug' about underage boys having free access to pornographic videos online. Text and illustration is not video - it's just not even kind of in the same ballpark, and text especially gives a kid no more than their imagination is capable of conjuring (I remember this from my own earliest porn-reading experiences). I'm going to assume that this hand-wringing at least has a sexist dimension, albeit unintentional. There's this whole culture out there on the other side of the line in which men are used to inducting younger men into the sexual mores of pornography and stripping, and women are still freaked out by much tamer equivalents.

This happens a lot. A few worst case scenarios and eyebrow-raising things that one might do dominate the whole discussion. And dammit, other stuff needs to be said.

That's another excellent point. The absolute indifference to "boys have access to porn!" betrays a) a gender bias regarding these children that might be exposed to erotica, and b) a slightly more hidden heterosexual (and vanilla) bias. That is, the media gets to proselytize about straight, non-kinky relationships everywhere, but god forbid little girls discover slash.
