Comment on Do kids these days ever have a "porn fairy" moment?

FD Signifier is doing a series called “Goon World” about how porn has changed over the years. He talks a bit about how kids used to discover porn then and now.
His first discovery was with distorted TV pay-per-view porn he could only watch in the living room if his parents were out late one night (a situation younger people probably don’t even understand because media works differently now). He eventually found his dad’s porno mags and would sneak a look at them when his parents were out. The general idea is that he couldn’t access porn at will. He had to specifically plan for it.
His young sons are exposed to porn accidentally. They search “Minecraft girl” and get porn. They search “Overwatch D.Va” and get porn. They search “My Little Pony” and get porn. They check out a tweet by their favourite streamer and half the replies are porn bots advertising OnlyFans accounts or the owner of the site posting that you can use Grok to put “anything in a bikini”. His sons actively need to avoid porn. It is everywhere and they have to choose to not look.
So from that video, I’d say kids get a “porn fairy” everytime they use a mainstream website to search for children’s entertainment.
