must we really go through this game where you pretend not to be an extremist and we pretend not to notice you are an extremist? the overwhelming majority of the world does not subscribe to your views on showing porn to children.
Over here in Europe naked asses and even gasp breasts are a fairly common sight at beaches. Normal people don’t object to this.
I’s guess that in most of the world it’s still common to beat your wife, despite that I subscribe to the view that people who beat their wives suck.
by equating nudism with pornography, you're adopting the puritan frame you claim to oppose. that we can make obvious distinctions like this is the sign of a mature and healthy society; collapsing them into one concept is the domain of sex freaks and salafists.
It’s not a dishonest game, you just don’t like your views being questioned.
> by equating nudism with pornography
What? Being naked at the beach is “nudism” now? You certainly don’t need to go to a nudist beach to see exposed breasts.
You can’t even accuse that of giving a distorted view of how human bodies are supposed to look like.
1. A "giant ass" isn't pornographic per se.
2. "Extremist" is a weird way to put it.
I am being charitable and assuming it is indeed a sexualized/objectified/pornographic pic of a giant ass, i.e. that OP isn't being disingenous
>2. "Extremist" is a weird way to put it.
"showing porn to kids is Good Actually" is an extremist view. if you polled people it would be a fringe opinion, and most would regard it as an abhorrent idea.
Nobody is arguing this. Why construct strange strawmen?
Working this hard to prevent your kids from seeing nudity is weird, end of story.
One of those things is not the same as the others.

and i doubt GGP comment would be opposed to showing actual porn to children either (he is trying to be cutesy and not outright saying it, but it is obvious).
Gotta be honest, I think you're reading a lot more into that comment than is necessary or warranted. That comment did not advocate for showing pornography to children. It is not "obvious". You made an assumption. I read it as a direct response to 'or another named just "Porn" with a giant naked ass on the poster.' in the OP.

Not “you should show porn to your kids”.
It sounds like as if you were trying to accuse me of being some sort of a pedophile, come on. That’s just unnecessary.
I wouldn’t be opposed to my children looking up porn on the internet. Why should I be? All you need to do is pull them aside for a conversation and make sure that they understand what they’re looking at.
Pushing them to do so would be weird, they’ll find it on their own pretty soon anyway.
You should have a normal healthy relationship with your children where you can discuss these things in a constructive manner. Otherwise you might be a bad parent.
This is not helpful either. You could have said what you thought without implying someone is a bad parent (in the same way that nobody should have implied that you are a pedophile).
