- adrianN 8y agoThat depends or your definition of pornography. AFAIK nothing on /r/jailbait was technically illegal.
- enraged_camel 8y ago>>That depends or your definition of pornography Let’s not split hairs here. There is a reason we have a saying: “X is like porn; you know it when you see it.”
- adrianN 8y agoDifferent people know it when they see different things. Not too long ago showing ankles was considered basically porn.
- Eremotherium 8y agoThat saying goes back to supreme court justice Potter Stewart and it's something a lot of people would disagree with as it posits a fake universal standard for things like offensiveness and obscenity.
- windo11 8y agoUnderage "softcore" pornography. It's still reprehensible and indefensible, and it was one of the largest nsfw subs at the time.
- adrianN 8y agoSo would that title now go to Instagram or which site currently has the largest collection of underage girls in bikinis? How about TikTok or Youtube?
- windo11 8y agoI honestly cannot continue a conversation where I have to defend the position that a subreddit devoted to sharing sexualized pictures of children is fucked up. This should be obvious and beyond debate.
- adrianN 8y agoI'm not arguing that sexualizing minors is good, I'm just saying that there is a massive difference between the sexual exploitation that goes into the production of actual child pornography and the posting of girls in bikinis. I hope you agree that the harm done isn't even on the same level. Using the same language for both is just not right.
