Comment on You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you?

I think this was one of the biggest failings of parents in the 90s and 2000s - the internet was so new that they were scared of all the wrong things and didn’t know how to properly protect their kids online.
I’m eternally grateful I never saw some pretty horrific shit online. The worst I saw was porn and some of those jumps are videos and clips from horror movies.

I dodged goatse and lemonparty. Got hit with tubgirl once though.

I printed out copies of goatse and hid them all over my friend’s room 😅
I was 18 when 4chan started, the unrestricted internet was a wild time as a teenager

LemonParty isn’t one I’ve ever seen but goddamn is it funny as a concept. I’ve actually never heard of “tubgirl”. I’m picturing “2 Girls 1 Cup” in a bathtub and I am NOT here for it lol

Yeah, you’re not too far off. Not gonna describe it in detail though.
