SEXUAL CONTENT WARNING (part 1)

I notice recently that almost in every website that contains pornography flavour, there will be a "SEXUAL CONTENT WARNING", impeccably presented by the owners of the websites for that matter.

This warning is designated to tell the impressionable young minds about the rules and regulations abide them from surfing inappropriate sites. I understand that it is of astronomical importance that this warning, by all means, ought to be put up before people can actually enter the sites.


Something has struck me, however...

It is presented in the warning that, if you are under 18 or 21 (different websites, different criteria), you should leave the site without further ado. It has down to me that this warning is SHEER a waste of money, waste of time, waste of effort. I'm sure that the website owner has to spend lots of money to put up such warning. Not to mention about the effort to design the layout and construct the site. And then, for those who use a dial-up connection, it will cost them more money as they have to wait longer to enter the site, and before that they have to view this warning thingy.


Now, the issue I'm trying to put across is that, which children or underage teenagers stupid enough to leave the site because of such warning??!! Let us think for a while, if these children and teenagers have the intentions to surf such websites, are they going to leave these sites because of this harmless warning?? I will take off my hat to the society if such thing happens- sure, the society has been raising children who are not only illiterate, but also children who listen to warning signs. How Fantastic!!


But, let me put this beforehand, why do these children want to surf such websites at the first place? Because, viewing these sites containing sexual content brings about pleasure!


If these children already have the intentions to surf such websites, they are not going to give it up because of this warning, are they??

So, come back to the first issue, why people would still put up such warning, provided they know that people will ignore them instantly. (Which diligent person will read all the rules and regulations at first before they enter the site? You tell me!)


The reason I argue such matter is not to question about the credibility of putting up such warning. It is my contention that at least, people still care about protecting the young minds from being exposed to the territories they are not supposed to step into, but isn't it a good thing to think for a while that they are many things we do that are unnecessary and merely a waste. Say, the sexual content warning.


I exceedingly doubt that the owners of these websites want to protect these children. Why would they want to design such websites at the first instance? Knowing that internet is omnipresent in today's world. Many come with excuses such as education for the adults, bla bla bla... Adults do not, DO NOT, I shall stress this, perform such MAJESTIC sex style in real life...of course there are people who do, but the ratio of people do's and dont's is unimaginably different! Are we going to entertain these trivial amount of people who do's with the consequences of spoiling our young generation? The risk is just TOO ludicrous.




To be continue....
