@FemaleIsNotAFeeling @tangleofsnakes You're so right, still depressing to read though. I remember growing up with fairytales and wanting that perfect boy and romance, and then almost all the boys my age were talking about sexual shit. This is why I can't go against less romantic media being made for girls. We don't stand a chance if we're raised to expect a respectable, romantic partner while boys are being raised with any porn. I see people bitching like "where are all the love stories" when they remake a story but take out the romance, but I think it's the best option to do that to protect girls and expectations that will be shattered eventually. Unless porn leaves society, and morals and respect are brought back, I advocate against romantic stories being shown to girls.

And yes, exactly about how EASY it is to find. Recently some state made some age verification for online porn, and people threw a fit over it (wasn't it Texas?). Their "rights" and privacy to watching rape porn outweighed protecting children. But like you said, they would have needed ID for video stores, etc. But there was shame in that. People have gotten used to not feeling shame when they're being a peeping Tom pervert in a society that's normalized something so fucking damaging and wrong to everyone involved.
