A victimless crime?
The victim is probably the porn industry in this case. An unsecured laptop on an unsecured network is a porn machine. They had a porn machine in their house the whole time. This makes about as much sense as suing Jack Daniels because your kid got drunk when you went away and didn't lock up your booze.
Victimless? Every sperm is sacred!
Yeah but flip the gender and see how it sits
"Oh no, my little girl found our unsecure laptop and used it to enjoy porn using Chaturbate."
Yeah I still don't see how it's the platform's problem that that mom failed to lock the laptop. And I feel really bad for her kid, for having such a Karen for a mom.
I didn’t say it was the platforms problem. The topic was how the boy wasn’t a victim. So you go on to say that the girl WOULD be a victim (to her mother) proving my point.
The boy would definitely also be his mom's victim, but please note what I said: "I feel really bad for her kid for having a Karen for a mom."
That you read that to only mean "girl" is not my problem. As far as I know, her kid is not a girl, but a boy.
It’s funny because we don’t even disagree. Your first comment isn’t even related to the topic and your second is arguing a moot point. But go off I guess.
It depends on what you consider the crime to be. Is it the mom outing her kid's porn habits or the kid using a platform in the way it's meant to be used, but not by kids of his age?
If it's the latter, I'd argue that is a victimless crime. If it's the former, then yes, the kid (male or female) would be the victim.
Well I’d hate to assume what OP meant by “crime” but whatever it was certainly wasn’t victimless.
I don’t think either of your options for “crime” here make sense. The root problem isn’t the porn site. Or “outing” the kid. It’s that kids probably don’t need unrestricted access to the entire internet. All mom had to do was put a password on the laptop.
I'm not getting your point. Why does it matter if it's a girl enjoying porn?
This Karen probably won't explain sex to her kids, so they have to get info in other ways.
Like, a girl jaggin' in the closet and daddy sues the porn company?
Sits the same for me?
What am I missing here?
