The thing is, it’s just your opinion. You think those books are not for fit for high schoolers are say they should be banned for everyone. You’re forcing your morality and opinions on everyone else.
ohmyfuckinggod. REVERSE that line of thought. It’s YOUR opinion. YOU think it’s fit for kids. So YOU can give them to YOUR kids.
In a PUBLIC library, the PUBLIC (that’s the average person) decides on the morality and topics that are approrpiate for children. It’s the general average consensus. If you want to show them more YOU CAN, with YOUR KIDS. I’m not forcing you not to. The PUBLIC is saying “I dont’ think kids should read erotic fantasy” and I, LIKE MOST PARENTS, agree with that sentiment… I think the line should be drawn somewhere, and erotic explicit sex fantasy books is over that line, for me, and most people.
I get it, you had a traumatic controlling childhood and now you wanna rebel against the system with “I would never tell my kids no, I’ll let them do anything they want”. But not everyone wants to raise their kids in the same fuckedup way as you.
I’m saying each parent and kid above certain age should be free to decide. You want to decide for them. Even if it’s majorities consensus it’s still one group of people limiting the rights of other group.
The point of public library is to offer access to books for free. By banning those books from library and saying “parents can show them to their kids if they want to” you’re basically saying that parent can show kids those books if they can afford and find them. Next you will decide that if majority decides those books should not be sold in local bookstores and if parents want to they can look for them elsewhere.
The books were already there. It’s not people democratically deciding how to spend public money. It’s zealots policing what other people should and should not like.
That’s the certain age we, as a public society, have decided that they are free to decide for themselves about what’s appropriate for them. Because they are adults. Fullstop.
You want to argue lowering the age where a child is considered an adult?.. is that where you want to go? I mean, you have been arguing in favor of showing porn to kids… so, maybe it is. Maybe it’s in your interest that kids are considered “mature” at a younger age.
so… you want to argue that the age of maturity should be lower? You can argue that… sure, just saying though, it definitely puts you in leagues with a lot of other types that want to lower the age of maturity for all sorts of other reasons. You wanting to stand toe-to-toe with them on that?
You about to wax poetic about how “some kids are real mature for their age?”
lmao you’re fucking crazy. the idea that kids younger than 18 are mature enough to handle sexual content in literature is not the same thing as being a pedophile you fucking nutcase.
my dude… 18 is the age we as a society generally agree on. That’s why it’s 18. We for the most part deem that’s when the average kid is mature enough to handle things and make decisions on their own without any oversight… That’s just where we drew the line at…
You are allowed to disagree. If you feel uncomfortable being compared to the other kinds of people who also disagree… that’s your moral problem to find peace with. Not mine.

the age is 18.

i think you were being a little bit crazy, but mostly reasonable until i read this. the age is most definitely not 18.
so… you want to argue that the age of maturity should be lower? You can argue that… sure, just saying though, it definitely puts you in leagues with a lot of other types that want to lower the age of maturity for all sorts of other reasons. You wanting to stand toe-to-toe with them on that?
