    ok soooo… then you’re like making the legal age 20 rather than 18? What next 20 years olds are now barely legal? So we would have to make 20 year olds illegal now right? Whats the REAL legal age??

      Just make the legal age of performers 85, it’ll vastly reduce the number of porn viewers.

      The classic slippery slope, thin end of the wedge argument.

      A reasonable position, you’re gonna need some evidence of intention or history to give it some heft though.

      Anything claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

        you’re gonna need some evidence of intention

        We have a legal age of 18. Some people make porn that is “barely legal”. The intention is to make that illegal. The evidence is in the article.
