  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.

      Lol.

      You realize words still count right?

      The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

      I repeat the above.

        No, words don’t count as graphic violence lol. Graphic violence is defined as being in visual media, not written.

      What’s funny is the Bible is worse than most of the books that are banned as far as depravity goes.

        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!

  Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?

  • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Putting it in the same perspective as the number that access porn.

    source

    • KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So it’s a scale problem for you? What number is acceptable?

      source

      • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        No, it’s not just a scale problem, but to even suggest that kids looking at graphic violence videos on YouTube etc is as prevalent as or as big of an issue as kids looking at porn is absurd. There are studies galore linking the consumption of porn in children to all sorts of behavioural issue, and studies showing that it’s increasing dramatically.

        I have nothing against porn, I don’t think it should be censored or banned or anything - but age restrictions done properly (ie securely and privately) are long overdue.

        And before you say it - yes, I think the same should apply to other not-suitable-for-kids content like extreme violence, vulgarity, etc.

  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.

  source

  • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And also huge lols at saying porn is just nudity and sexuality

    source
  • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Those all have age rating systems in place lol.

    source

    • BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Wow, you didn’t just move the goalpost, you changed the sport.

      source

      • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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?
