Blame the internet itself for providing kids with the opportunity for seeking out interaction with strangers, rather than their boring, non-interactive, lazy, technically illiterate, irresponsible, stupid and uncaring bad parents who should never have been allowed to procreate in the first place.

In fact, if we only examine it closely enough, in all probability it’s all Canada’s fault!

Back in the slightly less sarcastic but a hell of a lot dumber real world than South Park, I’ve been chatting with a journalist in the hopes of maybe providing at least some alternative takes on things.
Where everybody agrees on something, they can often not explain exactly why they agree, beyond referring to a norm-moralistic consensus cascade.

This has typically been true of sexuality, it’s wrong to masturbate because it is sinful and lustful and disgusting and makes Jesus cry, and it’s wrong to be homosexual because it is disgusting and perverted and immoral and unnatural and you go to hell and so on and so forth.

Nowadays masturbation is mostly viewed as okay, except of course if you do it for your lover or an audience on the internet and you just happen to be under eighteen.

In that case, it becomes not child pornography, no, because even though it is pornography and under eighteens for some weird reason are counted as children for certain purposes or legalistic-historical reasons, what you are in fact doing is documenting child sexual abuse. By masturbating.

And documenting child sexual abuse makes Jesus cry. A lot. And then he goes and kills a kitten, and you don’t want kittens to die, do you?
Won’t anybody please think of the kittens?

But I digress, fuck the kittens. 
Annoying little hairballs. 
And what do they have to do with kids seeking out social interaction over communication mediums anyway?

Back to the article, here it is in google’s glorious translation: “Paedophiles tells how children should avoid coming in contact with them online” .

At least one guy over at /younglove/ on endlesschan thought journalists shouldn’t be spoken to when I asked for their input, but I disagreed and feel justified for doing so.

In my view, communication can only help nuance a debate by offering differing points of view — you don’t need to agree with someone about everything, or even find them to be agreeable people, in order to acknowledge that maybe they have a point or two that you haven’t thought of.

TL;DR

Don’t be a lazy parent, but involve yourself in your children’s lives.

Which includes their online activities.
