In an effort to ban all Zoomers, r/Drama set up a bot to ban everyone that has ever posted (a healthy amount of comments) on r/Teenagers.

Their ban message simply said “Underage” and they got a lot of responses, mostly from people declaring that they are adults, namely - middled aged people.

They. Got. So. Many responces from people that are way too old to be posting r/Teenagers that they took a look at their post histories.

This man said he was 56.

Here’s a 35 year old man hitting on a 14 year old.

This man was 40

51

Here’s a 45 year old man talking about “hot tween pussy”

P.S. My takeaway from this is that all minors should be banned from the Internet. It was NEVER a kid-friendly place.

I should not have said that. I should not have said that.

                I apologize for my framing, which intended to get some actual answers as an outsider as to why people get so touchy about teenagers who have the same feelings of sexual attraction doing the exact same things with their sexualities as adults … if it’s so bad for teenagers to do it, surely the same should apply to adults, right? My takeaway from this is that this is just fash being fash and it’s probably not really problematic for either, provided that society also needs to give proper sex ed so that people can develop a BS filter to discern fact from fiction.

                I’m actually grateful for this last example because I can actually forget that erotic stories are also pornographic content — another layer removed from having to imagine visualizing it can help with the repulsion to be able to see the topic more clearly.

                    Kids have less sexual experience and less life experience in general, which means that they’ll be more likely to think that what they see in porn is true to life (and oh boy does the big money porn industry routinely employ absolutely repulsive tropes)

                    True.

                    that made me first think I hated sex and then stick to better alternatives once I realized that sex did not in fact have to be all about violence and humiliation. I was never formally taught about consent in any educational setting, I ended up learning the ins and outs of it from feminist blogs online.

                    Same. There were only some teachers that did teach us some stuff, and did give us advices like: “Porn is not like real life sex or relationship, don’t base your expectations on that.” A good thing that happened in my school is that since most classes had more female students than males, most male students were respectful and nice to the female students and teachers (there were bad students but those were very few). Though homophobia (specially towards gay men) was still huge back then (not just in school but in society itself).

                    All my own stories involve enthusiastic consent by both partners because I wouldn’t be comfortable writing anything else.

                    Thats nice.
