    Are we using the same definition of targeting?

    I take it to mean that they are trying somehow to get children to consume their product. That would mean advertising and such to draw the attention of children and get them to watch it.
    This. Sick scenarios =/= enticement.

    Now if porn sites started advertising on kid focused websites, THAT would be targeting.

    Both are wrong but not the same.

    You read a lot into what they said. I play a lot of games, and have seen no porn in games. This isn't even much "nudity". There have been a couple of games that would have qualified as hard R rated in the sex area.

    The gaming industry is actually very woke these days. Porn and sexual violence is not something the woke crowd are in favor of. Do you think the #metoo crowd are in favor of that?

    If this country continues to support porn and make excuses for it. It will only get worse.
    It is targeting children and it also has subject content such as brother and sister, child with mother or father.
    Of course nothing will be done because people have been brainwashed into big porn ideals, and many themselves are hooked on it. So it will only get worse.
    The more Americans toss morality out the door the worse it will get.

    Is adverting the only way the porn industry might target children? What about low barrier access? You give a kid a smart phone, eventually they’re gonna find it.

    Why would they make barriers to keep kids from watching it? It’s another market. That it is another large market to exploit isn’t evidence that they’re intentionally targeting it. But they are exploiting it. And there is a reason to target it, just like the cigarette industry targeted children.

    Go read the links I gave and you will too.
    However, you are to busy defending porn and attacking anyone who is against the filth to search it out or read for yourself.

    Watch the Glenn Beck video. Pretty easy to learn.
    Maybe you already know and that's why you are upset with it being exposed.

    There's no "eventually" to it. Exposure and then the subsequent curiosity and finally, the desire to consume it will happen. It could be they accidently google something and a x-rated result returns because what terms they googled are also associated with adult content in other contexts. As we mature and naturally start noticing the other sex, their buddies will clue them in on the "good" places to go. As I said up thread, if the adult sites wanted to make it tougher for kids to access their content, they'd figure out a real meaningful way to do it. They don't want to. They know what they are doing.

    Please explain how low barriers is targeting. Targeting is actively enticing a group. Low barriers are not an active effort.

    The low barriers are there because they are using the Youtube model of making money, advertising.

    The cigarette industry did actively target kids. Hollywood was part of that. How many people DIDN'T smoke when we were little in movies?

    Oh. It’s just a word you’re refuting so hard? Okay. That’s fine. Technically you’re right as far as I know. How about we just call it passively pursuing a strategy that makes it easy for kids to indulge in their industry.

    Did you know you can virtually **** in several video games? I haven’t searched for evidence that the porn industry is actively encouraging game makers to do it. But it was evident that cigarettes were prominent in Hollywood movies long before it became evident that the industry paid them to do it. It was only after investigation that we found out that cigarette companies we’re targeting children. People had plenty of evidence that made it a reasonably conclusion. It takes an accusation based on circumstances reasonably justified.

    Does anyone think there is something to investigate? Or are we secure in our lack of evidence that the porn industry is targeting children, that we don’t need to look further? Or do we just not think that if it is a problem, it needs to be solved?

    Are you targeting and actively enticing children in your house by not locking up ALL of your guns ALL of the time?

    Is Cabelas targeting children by not walling off the guns and only allowing those who can lawfully purchase them in that area?

    Of course not. There is a difference between targeting and not actively preventing. But your argument seems to ignore that difference.

    I dont think they should have access to it but to claim they are literally targeting them simply by not taking extra steps to keep them out is disingenuous. Definitions matter. And frankly you are sounding like an anti gunner by changing definitions like that.

    Targeting would be advertising to them, making it appeal to them purposely, etc.

    Yes. I would be. I don’t lock up all my guns all the time. No kids in the house. Guns I want access to are within reach as needed. When I had kids in the house , they were the reason for having a stricter policy. Flame on. :runaway:

    It’s not just the access.
