It is so much easier to have nuanced discussions on Lemmy. You are correct I realize now you were just responding to poster above you

While it’s probably true that there are people who might struggle with porn, there are plenty of people who struggle with addictions of all kinds - alcohol, gambling, opiates, etc.

But there are certainly valid questions that come up with stuff like this:

• Is the government’s place to enforce a mandatory 18yr age requirement to view porn?
• If so, what kinds of unintended ramifications are possible from imposing such a requirement? I can think of quite a few, but I’m curious what others think.
• Could it be argued that this is an attempt to legislate morality or impose censorship?

I think that these are fair questions and perhaps the meat and potatoes of the issue lies a bit deeper than anyone’s sole opinion on whether porn is “bad for you” or not.
