Content Warning: The topic discussed is about consumption of explicit material under 18 on Tumblr (I disagree with what they said, by the way)

Context: This person was talking about children being an oppressed group in many societies around the world and the excuse some people use (protecting children) to do so.

"And many of the rules that are currently pushed for to "protect" children from evil things like checks notes porn and horror movies and serial kidnappers that do not actually exist "

"What is there to be confused by? The vast majority of teens will in some way consume porn - and always have done that. You cannot really prevent it. The best you can do is make sure that they so in a safe environment"

I think this is a trash take. Am I overreacting to this?

Edit: I reported it already for being gross. Also, for context, I am very triggered by anything related to children.

There is nothing wrong with being weird, but bragging about consumption of that adult material is not really something I understand; why would you do it?

Oh, those people sound annoying. I get not wanting to have pornography be legal, but harassing people is not a way of fighting patriarchy (and I doubt they are the type to even care about patriarchy anyways).

Why? In response to the aforementioned westerners. "We can consume what you hate and you gringos can't stop us" kind of stuff.

"Consumption" is another strange term to me, one that underestimate how accessible porn is. It doesn't get consumed. 1,000 people can view the same porn 1,000 times and copy and distribute it endlessly. It doesn't get used up like a drug.
