I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said and I’m not sure if you’re a parent. But I quickly realized that raising an actual human defies most of what I thought would work.
I think computers are great. Is the stuff computers introduce kids to that I don’t particularly care for which is much different than when I got online in 1995.
I’m much less concerned with my kid looking up “fellatio” out of curiosity than I am them developing addiction to instant gratification by playing games like Roblox where adults engineer them purposely to manipulate people’s psychological weakness to make profit. That may sound extreme but I’m not sure it is inaccurate.
- silisili 4y agoThis is pretty much my stance. Kids searching for things out of curiosity is no problem...kid has full access to wikipedia and Google search app. Who cares if she sees a private part, especially in some educational context. Social media is a cancer, and anything that opens them up to random chats and DMs might as well be injecting her brain with a cocktail of insecurity, pedophiles, and dick pics directly. The internet certainly has its good parts, but most kids today seem more interested(naturally) in the addictive parts. When she's 18 she can do whatever she wants. And maybe she'll resent me for it. I just hope that she understands I was doing what I thought was best, not being some strict ahole. Time will tell.
- jmathai 4y agoThe intent of Wikipedia vs. Pornhub are so different. The difference in outcome of seeing fellatio on those sites are not even comparable.
