Hmmmmm, let me play devils advocate and say that kids should have access to porn.

If you want to actually play devil’s advocate, you gotta give an argument. Otherwise, you’re just being contrarian.

Let me give you one, kids try to explore topics out of curiosity. They are probably not going to look up someone torturing animals, because they don’t want to see that. Kids usually look up and explore things they are ready for. Also “kids” is a pretty diverse group, a 5 year old and a 15 year old kid are very different.
For real young kids parents should monitor online behavior anyway. For teens, how is life this different than looking at a playboy or a porn tape. Teens have been doing that forever, the people creating these laws probably did that when they where kids.
It’s probably a lot better to let kids (teens) explore nudity and sex in a safe environment, instead of letting them go unsupervised in places that ignore the law.
It’s basically the same argument with drugs, offering legal options vs. going to a dealer and possibly getting much more dangerous drugs mixed in.

Calling teenagers kids in situations like this, or in general is not ideal. The better way is to refer them to minors as this is what they legally are, but even so ‘teenagers’ is how they should be referred to.
Absolutely. It’s only natural for teens/adolescents to be interested in that kind of stuff - they are transitioning into adulthood ffs.

You can’t stop teenagers from being horny. And I rather they watch porn than have sex.
