Teen could never enjoy life because their mom is the kind of person who sues porn sites rather than having a conversation about masturbation and sexual health with her child.

FTFY

[-] Pnut@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

She put him in the fucking public eye for what all teenagers, no matter what, do. Like, this is how you get an incel, or worse. Right? Shame on this woman.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Can he no longer enjoy life cause he logged into chaturbate.

Or did he never enjoy life, because his moms a miserable kind of cunt that announces to the world her sweet baby boy looked at THE PORNOGRAPHY and is stirring up a massive, baseless lawsuit over it, thus traumatizing the fuck out of him.. which I imagine isnt the first time shes done so.

edit Whats the running bet on if the kids even allowed to have a bedroom door?

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Well the kid definitely can't enjoy life now that his mom caught him and put him on blast in front of the entire nation.

The kid is going to be either 1) hateful or 2) replicate of his mom. He will no longer be normal.

[-] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 13 points 4 weeks ago

“Q.R., using his mother’s old laptop, had unfettered access to the internet and began searching for hardcore pornography,” says the court. His mom claims this led to “pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish; psychological injury; past and future love of enjoyment and pleasure of living.”

It's not the internet making your son feel those things, it's you.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Disfigurement? Kid's doing something wrong.

[-] False@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

That's truly some advanced-level porn.

[-] MrTomS@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Internet told him to break both his arms.

His mom claims this led to “......; past and future love of enjoyment and pleasure of living.”

So the mom is suing Chaturbate, et al., because she thinks they're going to cause her son to enjoy life in the future? Is that the mental gymnastics going on here?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

I think it's just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it's intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).

While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It's just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won't happen), they'll find new ways, and they'll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit

If only there was some kind of system where minors are given rules to follow, and looked after by an authority figure that could steer them away from things that aren’t appropriate for them. For simplicity, these authority figures could even be adults that they are closely related to and live with.

Alas.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I was led to believe that if your mom (although they always call it stepmom in the title) finds you doing that, they will come in, have a very short chat, music will start in the background and they will then, um.. assist you. I am shocked to hear that in real life that is not the case. The internet has been lying to us.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Unless you have 2 broken arms

Can you imagine the roasting this poor kid gets at school because of his insane mom?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

My thoughts as well.

Just let your kid masturbate in peace. WTF.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

And/or you know, put a web filter / monitoring software for free on your devices that the kids have access to.

Android: Google Family Link, and many others if they aren't trying to use Google products.

Apple has products as well. People just need to pay attention to their kids

[-] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

The products suck. Google and apple don't really have a monetary motivation to make them good. My kid easily gets around everything. And he is only 11. The best so far was a bark phone. They had to customize the operating system because google didn't provide ways to lock things down. He still found a work around to play music on the talk and text only phone. Only had it a week. There just isn't profit in it. So teach your kids about the realities of the web or they will find out themselves.

“Mom” isn’t doing this unless she’s uber rich. Someone is bankrolling her to try to set precedent.

Ding Ding Ding! You Win!

Mom is joined in her lawsuit by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE).

https://endsexualexploitation.org/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_on_Sexual_Exploitation

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), previously known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, is an American conservative anti-pornography organization.[2][3] The group has also campaigned against sex trafficking, same-sex marriage, sex shops and sex toys, decriminalization of sex work, comprehensive sex education, and various works of literature or visual arts the organization has deemed obscene, profane or indecent. Its current president is Marcel Van der Watt. The organization describes its goal as "exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation".[4]

I have found my new masturbation euphemism.

Note that under the Kansas bill, it appears that depictions of homosexuality qualify as also needing to be locked behind an age gate. Like, not "homosexual sex", but homosexuality.

https://kansasreflector.com/2024/04/03/dont-look-kids-according-to-kansas-lawmakers-this-is-pornography/

Don’t look, kids! According to Kansas lawmakers, this is pornography.

Images and text depicting gay affection could be swept up by age-verification bill

A same-sex couple exchanges rings at a marriage ceremony. You might think it's a sweet moment. But should we be protecting children from seeing it? (Getty Images)

Take a good look at the photo just above these words. You should see two men exchanging rings at a same-sex marriage ceremony.

You’re also seeing, according to the Kansas Legislature, the kind of pornographic content that should be walled off from those under age 18 with age-verification software. That was the consequence — intended or not — of passing Senate Bill 394. All 40 state senators voted for the legislation, including 11 Democrats. In the House, nine Democrats joined Republicans to pass the bill, 92-31.

Max Kautsch, a Lawrence media lawyer, outlined some of the problems.

“The online age-verification bill expressly incorporates the definition of ‘harmful to minors’ that already exists in Kansas statutes, a phrase defined to mean ‘any description, exhibition, presentation or representation, in whatever form, of … acts of … homosexuality,’ ” he told me. “The term ‘homosexuality’ is undefined in the law, but it could include a wide swath of conduct between two persons of the same sex, including kissing, hand-holding, and other activities that would be considered ‘public displays of affection.’ ”

A couple of gentlemen exchanging rings, as shown above, would certainly qualify.

I encourage everyone to study the actual bill. From my perspective, it not only invokes a double standard against the brave Kansas LGBGTQ+ community but actively seeks to chill free expression. The proposed law applies to “any commercial entity” that shares content online, which means it could sweep up individuals trying to make money from a travel blog or small businesses that take wedding photos of same-sex couples. (As a nonprofit, Kansas Reflector appears exempt, which comes as a relief given my columns.)

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is a test case. There are some deep Christofascist pockets behind her.

[-] arrakark@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Specifically, the pockets come from the NCOSE (National Center on Sexual Exploitation), who's purpose is to quote, "defend human dignity".

I kinda feel like defending human dignity is not having your son involved in a lawsuit against porn sites.

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

So parental responsibility now consists of suing for perceived damages of... ???

jacking off?

fuck's sake. you don't think they'll pass a law against THAT do you?

Yeah, the teen isn't enjoying life having to deal with his judgmental helicopter mother. But that's not the porn sites fault.

Teenage boys like to look at naked women a lot, and will go to great lengths to obtain said material, legal or not, due to the 1 2 punch of raging hormones and not fully developed frontal lobes. News at 11 for the mother of the year over in Kansas that hasn't been paying attention to what teenage boys are usually like for all of recorded history and beyond.

I can't imagine what she would do if he happened to be into trans porn or God forbid gay porn. The horror. She would be the laughing stock of the garden club among her equally uptight peers. Would someone please think of all of the adult embarrassments in these times of teenagers finding themselves! /s

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

She is probably an american christian. You think she even cares? She only wants her son to go to church and save himself for marriage.

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Jeebus, I need backup plans for Friday nights.

Page 8 & 9 of the court filing (not the article):

Through this time, Q.R. was able to access chaturbate.com on thirty different instances: [...] seven instances on August 30, 2024 [...]

Bruh, make sure to hydrate.

Page 13, absolutely fascinating to me that "prays for judgement" is stated and whether that is at all common:

Plaintiff prays for judgment against Defendants in an amount in excess of $75,000.00 for: a. actual damages resulting from Q.R.’s access to material that is harmful to minors, including but not limited to past medical expenses, future medical expenses, past and future lost services and disability, past and future pain, suffering, and disability [...]

Page 15, looking for more details on alleged "disfigurement":

As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue in the future to suffer the following damages: a. Pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish [...]

It goes on to talk about pornography causing a shift in perspective on sex and possibly leading to addiction. Not finding anything specific on the alleged "disfigurement".

I'm left to assume poor Q.R. will have to deal the rest of his life with the friction burns caused by jerkin' it 7+ times on August 30, 2024.

His mom also demanded a jury trial, so Q.R. can rest easy knowing 12 strangers will hear about his friction burns and give it the serious attention due.

[-] 5paceThunder@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

It would be the responsibility of the state to block sites that offend their fragile egos.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 4 weeks ago

His first name starts with a Q?! That poor kid, imagine getting your porn preference blasted into the news by your mom and then you also have a Q in your name. Mom should be sued for child abuse

[-] Vanth@reddthat.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

I hope those aren't his real initials because it seems like there's more than enough information to identify him between the article and complaint filing. Poor kid doesn't deserve to be dragged into this.
