I also hadn't heard of VR in quite some time. You know someone is pushing legislation when they're doing that.

In the worst case, there is always an option of excluding kids from online experiences. Maybe, put a R18 label on the device.

I'd rather the government didn't get involved to micro-manage it though. That's kind of spooky.

Of course, it would be important to see how much of a problem there actually is, and whether a reduced functionality mode couldn't be offered for them (as well as the exclusion of adult environments).

These are just ideas off the top of my head.

To be clear, it's okay to "do nothing", than to do something (this time against "sex dolls") which only has a possibility of creating problems.

Wow. It's been quite some time since I've had to comment on this one. The last time I did was in early 2023.

A few of the arguments against are very dry, speculative, and try to depict people as generally cartoon characters (as opposed to a fairly mundane person buying a toy). That's usually a red flag.

Also, bad people would still do bad things. It wouldn't really move the needle, but it would undermine due process, would set a dangerous precedent, and would pit some people.

Plus, there was a foundation which looked to set standards via collaborations with manufacturers, without the State getting involved.

As I wrote before, I'm going to avoid posting very lewd imagery on here.

Something a bit ambiguous... Lol. #anime #littlebusters

Oh, I see Little Busters is actually adapted from a porn game (a best selling one) rofl

I saw prudes covering this, so I figured it would be more wholesome than that.

I don't have a problem with porn games (or this one, for that matter), as I'm not a prude. However, it dramatically shifts the dynamics of how I might cover it.
