It’s like watching a clown show. Maybe he should watch more porn and grow up.

    “It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

    Am I just cynical that this sounds more like intentionally training your son to avoid a paper trail from “official” devices? He’s a 17 year old boy, he is almost definitely looking at porn.

    “It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17.

    So he’s sharing what kind of porn he looks at with a minor.

    I’m sure the republicans will be very upset about that. Right?..

      I think the point here is to not look at porn becaue his son is then going to find out about it. “He’s sharing what kind of porn he looks at with a minor” is about as stupid take on this as that article is to begin with.

            They did think of the children when they asked themselves “who should keep me accountable for the porn I watch”.

            I’m not sure how they got to that conclusion and I don’t want to know.

            So if he looks at anything “objectionable” (meaning porn), it sends it so his underage son.

            let alone about reading books to kids in a costume

            That part was about the conservative outrage about people in drag reading to kids. I was pointing out how drag is apparently too sexual for kids, but their fathers porn watching habits is not not.

              I’m sorry my knowledge of internal politics of a country I don’t live in did not match your expectations. Controversy about people reading books to kids in drag indeed sounds really important though and definitely something I should have been aware of. This is totally a failure on my part.

              So if he looks at anything “objectionable” (meaning porn), it sends it so his underage son.

              Previously you said:

              Is he sending his son links to porn or is he not? You’re not being very cohesive here.

                No problem. I just assumed that since you’re engaging in a debate about it, you know at least the basics about the current political situation.

                Is he sending his son links to porn or is he not? You’re not being very cohesive here.

                By looking at porn, the programs he installed on his and his sons devices shares it. It’s cohesive, you just need to thing about for more than 1 second.

        The reality is that it’s a mechanism of shame/control. You teach the kid that looking at porn is sinful, masturbation is sinful/shameful, etc… Then you install “accountability” software that rats out the kid whenever he pulls it up. He’s just repackaging an authoritarian, abusive household as “accountability.” They also have devices that connect to your TV and will shut off the audio (based on the closed captions) if it detects a profanity.

          Yup. Same energy as a father daughter dance where everyone signs “purity contracts” and then they get a promise ring to save themselves for marriage. It’s about guilt and control and religious-based puritanism. People are making this seem like a weird sex thing with religious undertones when it’s totally not. It’s a weird religious thing with sexual undertones. Completely different!

          this. it’s not about the porn so much as it is the control and the ability to shame. Also, how much you wanna bet the kid gets talked to if he ever goes onto a democratic website?

            Yeah imagine if this kid starts questioning anything from his sexuality to why the summers keep getting hotter. Parents should be monitoring their children’s internet usage, but it needs to be done responsibly and more like the monitor where their child goes in town. You start with discussions and trust and you verify as needed.

    Why do religious right people always have to make it so weird. Just share porn with your close friends like a semi-normal person, goddammit. Why does it always have to be their own children, christ. Have a normal chat and an AD chat, and don’t mix 'em.
