Thank you for making the joke first so I can pretend I didn’t come to this post to make it. I’m just here for important political conversations, yup.

That one person was probably just trolling, but nowadays teens are much less likely to be sexually active than in previous decades.

I agree that part of a way to deal with it socially is to not, like, ruin peoples lives when there are nude or pornographic images of them out there. When you lose your job because your ex posted a sex tape with you online and attached your name, and now you’re struggling to keep your house - that’s a devastating consequence, regardless of how someone personally feels about porn of them being online.

I think we should all be like “it could even just be AI” to our more conservative acquaintances when they’re worked up because someone posted gay porn of a local teacher in their group chat.

If more trans kids live until adulthood and/or can safely come out, there might be enough just around that they’re seen as natural human variation, and then how will conservatives use them as a scapegoat during hard times?? Think of “think of the children” republicans, and their needs! They have to throw atypical kids into a pyre as an example, or people might just live their lives how they want without fear. What will they do then?
