Not sure how you got
“Well, I, as an AMERICAN, don’t know this so its WRONG!”
From
Never heard of it, and looking it up I don’t see any controversy surrounding it so not sure what you’re referring to here.
Missing one Netflix show is hardly "Not being aware of other cultures".
“let them figure it out themselves, no social supports or regulations! Freedom! Freedom to be techno fascists!!”
That's not what I said. I said teach people to think critically so they can distinguish reality from fantasy. That's the opposite of letting them figure it out on their own, it requires a great deal of input from those around them while they are growing up. The right wing hates critical thinking, they want us blindly consuming anything put in front of us while they censor anything they find objectionable. Sounds more like your stance to me.
Your comments about 16 year olds being old enough
I said old enough to know right from wrong. Not any of the other shit you implied. I didn't say they were old enough to not be coerced or taken advantage of. 16 year olds shouldn't even be part of this discussion. They are already prohibited from viewing porn by the draconion ID laws.
I disagree that 16 year olds are old enough to be capable of fully understanding the influence media has on them (something most american adults don’t even comprehend
That's because people aren't taught to think critically. We're taught to memorize and regurgitate facts while our leaders try to absolve everyone from responsibility for their own actions by blaming porn, or comic books, or movies, or video games, or whatever the next scary thing of the week is. That has never and will never solve anything.
