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.

Furthermore, this line between "private" and "public" is completely arbitrary. What if someone DMed someone else and through that arranged a transaction involving explicit pictures? This is "private" but neither of us would support it being legal. I do not think that running a Discord server where consenting adults upload explicit pictures on should be illegal. If people are guaranteed living standards, them selling their bodies will naturally wither away, no blanket bans required.
