> If access to content is so unhealthy for anyone, then policy should address that

Kids aren't the same as adults. It's like saying "no one should drive/smoke/drink because kids aren't allowed to".

> cartoon adult content in with his comic books. This was shit from literally 100 years ago, and yet that generation turned out alright by most standards

You can't be comparing, surely? A drawn picture of breasts compared to the most hardcore and (almost always female) degrading stuff imaginable in 4k?

If laws were consistent, they'd apply equally to tobacco and alcohol, but they get special carve outs to cater to entrenched industry.

If any of those things are as harmful as proponents claim, there is no excuse for letting them continue to harm anyone for profit. Children aren't the only sympathetic victims here.

I am. The content of those magazines was horrendous by today's standards. Just because it was drawn does not mean the content itself was wholesome. I was genuinely shocked by what it contained.

Still wouldn't ban it, though.

Without specifics, how was it horrendous by today's standards? As in you'd never see anything on the internet anywhere near as degrading as it?

Gang r*pe, the violent kind and by and against what we'd now say are those who could not consent to that even if they wanted it to happen.

No, I have not seen anything like that before on the Internet or since, and I hope to never see it.
