Yep, someone on the internet thinking, never a good sign is it?
But seriously - recently a friend group of mine kicked someone out for being generally unpleasant and horrible to talk to, which that I can agree with.
What I don't get though is that they villainised them for being a minor with a porn addiction.
Now hold your horses, I'm not about to defend minors entering adult spaces and say that it's perfectly okay, because...well...it isn't!
But what rubs me the wrong way is when a kid is portrayed as evil and gross and bad for doing so, when 99% of the time, it isn't the minors' fault for ending up there and then being accepted into said space.
In a lot of cases, there's some sort of outside factor to blame, be it grooming, poor internet safety, etc etc.
So it really bothers me when people instantly get angry and grrrr over some poor kid being told that this is normal and being made to continue engaging in said content by some people who are completely sick and preying on the vulnerable - ESPECIALLY since it happened to me and I'm still trying to shake it off.
Other than that, I haven't been up to much today. How about you, Spacehey? Got thoughts on this? Am I insane? Because I genuinely feel odd that this is the norm to so many people, but I'm not sure if it's just me who thinks this.

That is just messed up.
But then again, that is what the internet does to people.
I forced myself out of a friend group because their 'mental issues' were destroying mine. So after I left, they didn't take it well and then told me they all made it up. [One of them even faked a real situation with police called to their house on my birthday. Man this is stupid.]
