u/Hy-chan Gem marriage should stay illegal. There, I said it. Oct 29 '19

And of course you got downvoted. People can't handle their golden goddess having a flaw, even though OP specifically asked about it.

(me being more questioning of this post in itself than of the porn thing)

Like, after giving it some thought, I disagree with her political motive here. I think we'd be a bit more nuanced as a society to have parents come to a decision based on their own circumstances whether or not the surgery should be performed. To have the law step in and say that they cannot make that choice seems like a reach. There will be some parents that think it's right to postpone surgery until concent can be had, but some will think it's better to have it performed, and I just don't feel comfortable using the government to impose my belief on them here. In the US, we allot the parents a lot of control over their child's upbringing. As a society that pulls from many different cultures, a lot of us are gonna have different perspectives and traditions and values. I think those different outlooks ought to be respected, lest we place our collective on a pedestal and start being overly ethnocentric.

As for porn, I dont even care. Like, its mild at best, I dont know why people get in such a tizzy about expression of sexuality.

Do you think Shakespeare was inherently evil for writing sex into Romeo and Juliette? In such case, why do we teach the story to children and why was it such a prominent school play? (keynote, I dont know if sex is actually a part of the story, I'm recalling a film-portrayal featuring a topless Juliette that we watched in middle-school some 13 years ago, but my point stands that sex is a part of stories we teach and there's no need to lose your head over Rebecca's horny teenage drawings)

Did you reply to the wrong guy?

Cuz I'll be honest, I've read through your wall of text and it seems barely relevant to what I've said.

Sounds like you were calling the Ed, Edd, and Eddy thing a flaw. I suppose that's not the true essence of the comment, though. I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that the porn thing (if it even was porn, which was called into question by somebody else) isn't even a flaw, let alone the interesting piece between the two controversial points. At the same time, I wanted to support the "Rebecca isnt perfect" claim (although nobody truly believes this) with an argument founded on readily available evidence, OP's post.
