This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.
Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.
The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.
Short explanation of part of my issue with it:
There's a big, important difference between watching violence in video games/movies and watching a cartel execution or someone being run over on LiveLeak.
There's also a significant difference between "a bit of nudity", even contextually appropriate full frontal, and eroticism.
Kids probably shouldn't be watching ultra violent games, but that doesn't mean porn being accessible for minors is not a far more dangerous problem. There is no double standard, because these are two different things. Porn is neurologically addictive. This is an established medical fact. Exposing a minor to more and more sexualized subjects is what groomers do. Interacting with strangers sexually over the internet is not something that should be normalized for children.
