The argument that kids are already seeing porn and therefore the government should show them less disgusting porn is something that’s sort of hard to argue with.
You would have to say that porn should just be banned outright, or just agree with her.
RT:
After proposing the creation of “entry-level porn” for teens, British journalist Flora Gill deleted her tweets and asked that they be forgotten. As the daughter of former Tory MP Amber Rudd found out, Twitter isn’t very forgiving.
“Hear me out,” Gill tweeted on Thursday, proposing that “Someone needs to create porn for children.” Teenagers are already watching pornography, she argued, but all they see are hardcore, “aggressive videos that give a terrible view of sex,” so they “need entry-level porn!”

In her view, this would look like a “softcore site where everyone asks for consent and no one gets choked,” and so on.
The take was so nuclear – or would that be toxic? – that Gill found herself trending and quickly deleted both the original post and the clarification that she was referring to teens when she said “children.”

“One of the most vile things I’ve read on here,” commented Breitbart UK journalist Chris Tomlinson in response. “Utterly evil.”
Gill also made it on the notorious ‘List’ of people who should get their phones taken away, humorously maintained by US journalist Siraj Hashmi.
It’s not really “utterly evil.”
It’s just sort of obvious.

Breitbart doesn’t argue for porn to be banned, so what exactly is their argument?
Her argument is that kids are already seeing porn by the time they’re 10, which is true.
Unless you exist in some fantasy world, she is just talking about reality.
Conservatives do nothing, ever, but drop balls.
Why did they never call for porn to be banned?
I guess for the same reason they never called for freedom of political speech – because of freedom.
Porn is freedom and censoring political speech is freedom.
