    Puss and boots came out in 2011

    Post was made in 2023.

    Could be a recollected “little brother”.

    12 is about the age that I was when all of my male peers/neighbors became super into porn.

    I had multiple friend groups turn into “sharing and talking about porn when we’d hang out” which was my introduction to it.

    I didn’t like porn with real people or the attitudes presented, and was concerned about infected video players, so I kind of bailed on those groups and stuck to text and drawings which was often easier to verify its safety.

    It’s also the age that all the cis girls started getting into anime and hentai and onto 4chan, which was more the direction that I usually found myself ancillary but never welcome. Envious and on the outside looking in, until ponies came around and opened the door.

      The sketchiness of normal porn sites and the slapdash efforts to keep kids out has primarily served to give anyone with unsupervised internet access some fucking weird fetishes.

        Imagination and creative writing unlocks many more possibilities than can be performed on a stage for a camera.

        And the best part is: it’s clean and consequence free!

            Which is always good to practice. The more we reflect and think through our actions, the better we get at it. It’s better to push boundaries with simulated environments than ones with real world consequences.

            It’s just words.

            It builds linguistic, communicative, empathetic, and physical reasoning skills. It provides an arena to challenge and develop ideas and scenaria. It gets people talking and communicating about how they like to play before committing to make themselves more fully vulnerable.

            It’s just words.

            If we don’t get them talking to each other, they’ll start acting before knowing how to communicate. If they don’t have a safe way to talk with peers, they will be talking to the ai instead. Guess what the ai trained on.

            It’s just words, so why don’t we start there?

            We’ve gotta get people talking.
