While games like Roblox have a definite underage grooming problem, predators quickly try to move their victims to other platforms to talk and exchange pictures/videos. You can’t send anyone a video in Minecraft after all – that’s done in Snapchat, Sessions, Telegram, etc.

There’s also plenty of contact made via Instagram and other traditional social media or “random chat” sites like Omegle where you’re randomly matched with video chat partners.

> Aside from VPNs, this also just encourages people to seek out shadier porn sites that are hosted in countries that don’t give a shit about Ohio state law. Such sites are also more likely to host content dealing with underage participants, non-consensual sex, and other stuff that the major sites have some interest in trying to distance themselves from. So the savvy people use VPNs to watch porn and the others wind up at totally-legit-porn-dot-ru and it’s hard to think of the upside for this law aside from messaging how virtuous Ohio is.

All kidding aside, part of me wonders if this is the purpose of the law. Russia doesn’t have much they can export any more, and funding their military is expensive, after all. And there are plenty of American officeholders who seem to have Putin’s best interests at heart.

> I think we should have some sort of “wholesome porn” that’s legal/encouraged for teenagers to view. Normal people in loving relationships having relatively vanilla sex that also shows affection and general healthy relationship stuff.

… the guy proposes at the end…?

“Oh, God - yes! Yes!” Somewhat later: “I said _what_?”

Reminds me of Sheldon and Amy in the Big Bang Theory episode where they finally have sex as her birthday present. As they poignantly decide to figure everything out together the scene fades away. A caption reads, “Several hours later” and fades back in to Sheldon. “I enjoyed that more then I thought I would. I’m looking forward to doing it again on your next birthday”. The camera pans over to Amy with her hair very frazzled and an exhausted look on her face, “Works for me!”
