Remember days when Internet felt special and romantic? When every minute spent online cost money and you used your stationary home phone to connect? When you bought cards with passwords for some hours of internet access?
Those were good days. Modern Internet just doesn't feel right. It is spent, prostituted all the way to insensitivity. Worse yet, it is used by a lot people who are not IT specialists. Who the fuck let all those plebs access the Internet? Non-tech people must log off the Internet. Without them, we wouldn't be having censorship, cause anyone accessing the Internet will be mentally prepared to consider it a dangerous place, else they will be deemed unfit to access it and thus barred from it.
Damn I miss time when dad started to allow me to go on Internet without him watching, so I visited some shady sites for pictures of partly naked ladies. I was absolutely not yet 18 at the time. Honestly, before 18 it felt more special to go there, but it's hard to reason what's more responsible - turning legal to watch naked ladies, or internet becoming faster and paid per megabytes downloaded instead of per minute. The latter happened a bit earlier though. Ah, wait! I still discovered porn movies when I was not yet 18, but it was not as cool as watching pics of ladies still having panties on, as porn was more of a violence thing, where as erotic pictures were about romance and imagination. Remember "Internet is for porn?" Well, modern Internet has become porn, in the worst sense of the world. You have so much of it it no longer gets you off.

Yeah, i remember.
I remember spending entire weekends searching for MUGEN chars and getting trojans instead.
I remember taking hours to download a 2 minute song from kazaa, just to find out that it was not the song i wanted.
I remember my mom yelleing at me like a banshee when the phone bill came in.
I remember spending 10 minutes downloading a pic of a poor woman getting her ass prolapsed by a huge dick.
I remember printing that pic and bringing to school.
I remember some of my colleagues stealing that pic from my backpack.
I remember the fucker ratting me out.
I remember the school director phoning my dad at his work and asking him to come by.
I remember seeing his face while the director explained what happened.
I remember the beating.
I remember that episode ruining my chances with my crush.
I was 14 years old.
I don't want to remember anymore.

It shows that: the problem with "content" is not really the problem with content. Some people - like you - are already fucked up before they see it. Else why would you choose to print that pic instead of closing web page in disgust?
I am always surprised by people who watched bestiality or discovered their children watched it and so restricted their internet access. Normal people would puke on the idea of such things. If you are not that way, gatekeeping you away from content will not fix you. Age ratings absolutely make no sense.
People choose content by the way of who they are, not become who they are by the way of content.

hehe, i was not that fucked up vigilante - the reality is that i found that pic to be weird. And my logic back then was to show any weird things that i've stumble upon to my friends. So i did it.
No, i didn't jerked off to that image if that's what you thinking - i still had some of my innocence preserved at the time. Plus i'm not into anal. Never was.
But i agree, that age restrictions is very flawed at it's core. Never worked for keeping curious minds out of curious things. However, i mean this as a imposed regulation. In the end, gatekeeping young ones from unsafe content is the parents job until a certain age. It isn't foolproof, but it's their duty nonetheless. Restricting their internet access might be beneficial tbh. Mind you, that i don't mean cutting off their access to the internet entirely.
But to say that "content" isn't a problem.. c'mon now. Are you not aware of the whole debacle around children channels on yt? Or even the retardation from old children shows like Teletubbies? There's a lot of damaging content that is passed as safe for children. But like i said, parents must be aware of their responsability. After a certain age their control is significantly diminished that's true, but until then they have their role to play.
Fucked up or not, people are drawn towards strange things. Yet again, you keep surprising me with your takes.

I didn't think you jerked off. I thought you had hated (some) women enough to think they need to be brutalized this way. The picture shows damage done to a person of female sex.
I consider gatekeeping to be inferior to teaching the right morals from the start - that what I was saying. With the right morality taught, parents can even make it hard for other adults to corrupt a child. Of course, that is if authority of parents is not diminished by their own actions undermining said morality or acting as if it did not apply to them. Or just being sore losers or hurting child a lot (thus creating negative feedback towards said morality). An important fact, which many overlook when parenting, as you don't really put things into child head directly, but rather child adapts like a neural net to the challenges of life, and interaction with other people (including with parents) is a challenge one adapts to. But it is possible to convey at least some morals that are going to persist through teenage years as well, for that morality needs to be a positive adaption scenario (create positive feedback loop).

Humm i don't recall ever hating any woman to the point of thinking that she deserves to be brutalized as a punishment. But on the other hand, i may have wished once or twice for a lightning bolt to strike down a cold hearted bitch (or two). I don't think you would understand this feeling tho. You are too strong-minded to let your yourself get caught in such bad places. I consider gatekeeping to be inferior to teaching the right morals from the start, etc. I see what you mean and i agree with your point. Just the gatekeeping aspect on it's own it's never enough - but i think that it has it's place until the said parents had prepared the youngling mind to not fall prey to vices, malicious people, etc so easily. Hey, this brings me fond memories of another thread. |

I fortunately dialed to a local ISP that was some set amount a month. I had a friend who used AOL which had no local access numbers, so he got in trouble with his parents racking up a $700 phone bill dialing long distance to AOL.

I do miss those days, but even though I'm nostalgic about that modem connection noise/ear torture, I don't miss the slow connection speeds. I miss the culture itself more than anything. I want high speed internet and the modern programs we have, but I hate modern internet culture.
The problem is exactly what you described: non-IT folks having access. A good majority of misinformation is spread by seniors who bought a smartphone in the past five years, and minors who take modern internet for granted because they didn't get to see it in its infancy. We got to mature alongside the internet, they didn't. And their lack of knowledge is causing a fairly dangerous regression.

There is something that I do miss about finding a 30MB megawad that would take 30-40 minutes to download. There's something special about playing Doom when you have to wait for it. These days it feels like a 30MB megawad could get blown away like a paper christian conversion camp pamphlet in a slight breeze.
