youve seen it happen, sure
Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.

I agree with the message but making the argument that it’s safe for kids to watch because it’s cartoons is wrong. Kids can be fucked up by 2D furry porn, I’ve seen it happen. Still agree that age verification is a security nightmare, just think it’s a weird argument.

I’m on the fence, because do kids need to be seeing glimmer choke down on a futa She-Ra? No. But does the UK Guv need to de-anonymize the internet to stop it? Fuck. No.

There’s a third option: taking responsibility as a community to educate kids on the harmful effects of being exposed to sexual content at a young age, and then letting them make that mistake if they really really want to. Put up a warning about how porn can damage the mind. And then give them the same freedoms as adults (when it comes to passive consumption), because restricting their freedoms would restrict everyone’s.

That’s not a third option, that’s the option I outlined in my comment directly above yours. You miss when you clicked a reply button, or something?

When is DeviantArt going to demand my ID, I wonder, it is chock full of all manner of fetish material.

Age verification is a security nightmare, you shouldn’t support it. Unlike you, I hope Deviantart never asks for users’ IDs.

Did this sound like support…?

I don’t think it says anywhere that it’s safe for kids to watch.

Paragraph 3 “Requiring age verification for fictional cartoon content is an overreach thay fails to recognize the distinction between real-world adult material and artistic, animated works.” etc

Thhink they are referring to it saying “requiring age verification for fictional cartoon content is an overreach that fails to recognize the distinction between real world and adult material”

They’re only thinking of the eventual harm done to actors, or, victims, in the case of child porn.
