I used to have respect Anderson Cooper but this made me lose it all. He is just trying to make something out of nothing. This video shows Anderson Cooper trying to fear monger people into thinking that reddit is just a place where pedophiles go to look at pictures of child porn. This is borderline slander if you ask me. Watch for yourself:



What do you think? I feel it is just another example of looking for reasons to police the internet and break peoples first amendment rights. i know looks of good friends on reddit and have I demand Cooper apologize!

Wasn't there a TL thread about the inappropriate images on Reddit? Some people found many images to be close to child porn, if I recall correctly - and there were a lot of people really unhappy about it.

It could all be media hype but Maybe Mr. Cooper isn't too far off the mark, he's not the only one who has taken issue with it.

Jailbait is pretty fucked up, in my opinion. I think that he should on another episode show that Reddit isn't only about Jailbait and that it has many other sub forums to it, but I do think that this is merited as Reddit shouldn't be supporting this. No one should. Provocative pictures of teen girls shouldn't be looked upon by adults in my opinion.

Yes there was, it was about the sub forums of reddit. I know the "jailbait" section actually was closed down for a while, it was a big deal over there. I am unsure of the reasoning behind it, as it's technically perfectly legal, as long as the pictures are non nude. Not saying I agree with it, but fear mongering is wrong.

Fuck Anderson Cooper.

Why so many terrible threads?

I'm not watching a video if you don't give me a description of what it includes and why I should watch it. Please add content to the OP.

I've seen the jailbait sub reddit and most of the pics are self shots, the girls taking pics of themselves and posting them online. Who gives a shit? They obviously want the attention. And reddit serves that purpose. AFAIK the legal age of consent in Canada is 14 (correct me if I'm wrong) so to me, seeing a picture of a 14 year old girl with her ass in the air in a bikini does nothing for me. I think these girls are old enough to know what they're doing and know what emotions or reactions they're trying to get out of people. And for the most part it works.

Take a step back, stop back seat moderating and contribute to the OP next time. Then, maybe you wouldn't be helping to turn it into a shitty thread.

As long as reddit has the Jailbait subreddit I'll never be able to take the site as a serious community site. Considering that even the Starcraft subreddit is 95% lame image macros and terrible comics, it's not a site which anyone should take at face value.

Trying to act all offended on behalf of Reddit users over something that is most likely true is just pathetic. Demanding an apology is even worse.

They should just give girls under 18 black boxes to put over their bikinis while there at the beach cuz someone over 18 could be looking at them.

Jailbait reddit is totally legit. I don't like it, but there's nothing illegal about it. Anderson Pooper is just looking for reasons to police the internet though, he's a super shill. He has a clear agenda.

Oh and yeah, the age of consent in Canada is 14. It's low in a lot of countries, the USA laws are just archaic as fuck on age of majority issues. Nobody really thinks much about sleeping with a girl under 18 here provided the age difference isn't huge. Now, that's not to say we go around "hunting for little girls", but we are just mammals and this is what mammals do -- the girls themselves included. The whole idea that sex doesn't exist until you turn 18 is retarded.




edit: oh great, post 500 about underage girls. Oh well.

I understand both points of view, lots of people in that section of reddit defend themselves say they aren't seeing anything worse than girls at the beach

But do you fucking masturbate to underage girls at the beach? I have no sympathy in this regard. Any attempts to justify it in that way are just stupid. I even bet that stuff past the point of "what you see at the beach" like nudity or softcore porn get's posted which is just sick. You just can't justify it when it's in the "NSFW" section where people to go FAP.

It just simple promotes sexual attraction of underage girls, which isn't healthy and should indeed be looked down upon. I hope that subreddit get's removed.

I agree with this post. Fuck, right now manila has problems with 12 to 16 year old gangbangers who either beat up or steal stuff from people twice their age. Seems like the organized crime is exploiting under age teens.

not to derail, I'm against pedo shit, but if it's consensual well whatever. It's their problem not mine..

I agree with you.

However, these girls are sexualizing themselves and some people just share it. There is nothing wrong with that, per se.

Ya I saw it on TV. Was kinda surprised he was offended so much seeing as nothing is illegal. Everyone is fully clothed and it's mostly self pics the girls took. Anyway I'd like to see his reaction to what 4chan does.

Some people are just attracted to teenagers. *shrug* different strokes.

As long as there's no abuse (readas: CP) who care? A lot of teenagers take pictures of themselves in... less than formal wear, and post it on the internet. If someone "faps" to a photo then that's their thing lol.

I highly doubt a moderated site like Reddit would allow any CP to stay up for any length of time, and I'm sure they track IPs and whatnot in those cases.

O man, I completely forgot its 14 here in C to the anada. Dayum, I've been missing out!

pfff underage? I remember in grade 7 girls were grown as fuck. Some had breasts bigger than my moms. everyday I would get a boner so big I would have to jerk off in a sock in the boys washroom just to relieve the tension.

I think the optimal age for sex/marriage is 14. They'll never be more attractive anyways...

God bless Canada.

Personally i don't find child pornography attractive at all or even jailbait, but your point of view is subjective.

Who is to say that they are sick just because that is how you were raised knowing that to you this kind of stuff is sick.

Some countries age of consent is 14 and in more 'developed' countries like India there are arranged marriages at ages as low as 12.

Like i said i don't find child porn or jailbait attractive at all, but people are people no point in looking down on them especially when they are not hurting anybody.


inb4 you are an insensitive human being and you should rot in hell.

Honestly, some of the puritans in this thread... Nature picks a time for people to be interested in sex. That time is puberty -- You get there and it suddenly becomes reality for you. This whole idea of some magic line you cross at age 18 (or any age) is a real problem.. the government has no place in regulating the mating behaviours of people.

Children should be protected, absolutely. Teenagers aren't children. In years past, even in north america, you were a man at 15 and you went to war. Young women were wed at similar ages - usually after their first period.

A few select countries around the world decided at some point to legally define being an adult at age 18, and then somehow sexual relations became restricted to only adults.

Now, I respect everybody's point of view but sexual desire for another human who has completed puberty is not sick. It's instinct. The only way it's wrong is if someone forces the act on another, and I think we can all agree that it doesn't matter what age you are if that happens.
