I think they might have meant that video games are also a time sink, not that video games cause harm?

[closewith]

It's delusional to believe that porn and video games using the time that could otherwise be spent on any number of better and healthier actions is a good think.

Reality works on what is, “could be” is your delusion here.

Almost anything else a ten year old will plausibly get up to, even sedentarily, will be better than pornography.

[Retric]

Many things a 10 year old get up to have significantly higher risks of death.

Banning pornography nationwide, limiting video game time etc, therefore inevitably results in kids dying. So you need to demonstrate the benefits outweigh that tangible harm.

[closewith]

Is your argument that pornography has a lower risk than the median activity of a child?

If so, you are deluded and quite honestly disturbed. I mean this with pity, you should seek counselling.

[const_cast]

I think the implication here is that horny teenagers are going to do horny teenager things. So it's not fair to compare porn to just any activity, we have to compare it to things like teen pregnancy. Which is WAY down, by the way.

> median activity of a child?

Mean, the median is irrelevant here for hopefully obvious reasons.

> you are deluded

You keep saying that word, but facts are facts. If your argument is it’s better for more kids to die, that’s fucked up. Alternatively you could be ignoring reality, but there’s no third option here.
