This sucks for a lot of reasons I’ve already talked about, but it’s actually pretty bad to deprive teenagers of listening to music playing a video game, or watching a movie that’s “too old for them”. It’s a character building moment. Helps you not be baby brained forever https://t.co/p7Rnux3tDi

True. I started reading adult books when I was around seven years old. And that was a very good thing. I’d already outgrown all the books I’d be allowed to read under age verification laws. If I’d had to wait till age 18 to do anything “age appropriate,” I would’ve been much worse off and vastly dumber.
