RE: Online, Violence is everywhere, nude or sexuality not - the problem all media
I just hope Steemit doesn't encourage the taking in of 'censored' refugees
What we promote is what the community will become
There are children here on steemit and promoting images like girls in black stockings and not much else isn't appropriate in my opinion
Just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should
food for thought...
My opinion is any parent who allows their child on
Steemit, a censorship resistant block chain full of anonymous people. Should know what their child is able to handle seeing. The parent has no idea what their child will read and see. Which is a completely fine position for those parents to take. As long as they don't try to create guidelines with how the rest of us should behave to protect their kids from seeing the internet.
Parenting is a difficult path so I am not judging. I am saying I would likely only allow an older child who is very mature to be on this site. Each parent has to consider this. I don't cuss much, or post nudity, but I will not alter my behavior to meet your child's needs. I already raised mine. :)
I partly agree, when I had a child around the ages that they are here they didn't have internet access at home and smart phones weren't popular back then.
However when I came to steemit there was no sign of porn or the pushing through the boundaries of that topic with constantly bringing images like above forwards (possibly to see how the community feels about it). So it is a relatively new thing that I am seeing and I still stand by what I said
'What we promote is what the community will become'
'Just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should'
I agree with your main point! Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Additionally, if we are going to become mainstream which the white paper seems to suggest is a goal of ours, then I think we need many users of many types of content. I thought the community did a good job of handling the recent "NSFW" issue really well. Messy debate, and a solution! Go Team Steem! :)
And... I am not someone who is likely to offend children. :)
Artistic nudity is accepted under a specific tag.
