In May, a woman in Kansas sued Chaturbate, claiming that it was the site’s fault that her teenage son found her old laptop unlocked in a closet and used it to access porn without age verification in place.
Sounds like a parenting problem to me, but go ahead and blame porn. People like this should have to pay the legal fees of the defendants. Would anti-slapp (or whatever it’s called) apply here?
I think it’s naive to believe that people aren’t naive.
There’s a difference between being naive and a dumbass. The website has been known for problems for the entire existence of it. This guy’s a dumbass. If he didn’t wanna see gore and CP he shouldn’t of been a porn site mod…
I mean, by that same logic, we shouldn’t offer mental health counseling to first responders because they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for it. You can say there’s a difference between naiveté and stupidity, but it’s entirely arbitrary.
Idk man, I feel like you’re really missing the point here. If you’re going to hire people to do a job that involves exposure to traumatic material, you need to provide resources for them to process and recover from it.
I had a friend who was a firefighter who 100% agreed with that. He said if you don’t want to see nasty shit like limbs torn apart in car accidents then go flip burgers.
I don’t agree. The person in question knew what they were getting int, if not they’d have left at the first incident and noped out. They’re just teying to make coin of this.
Well, I’ve been a paramedic for a long time, a paramedic instructor for half as long, and a firefighter longer than either of the other two. Your friend sounds like a pompous dipshit, and his attitude is the reason we keep killing ourselves.
The ones who think they’re coping just fine are usually taking it out on their body or their family, in my experience. If you are exposed to shit like that at work, it always catches up with you eventually. Some people last years, some last decades, and some last one call. It’s the nature of the work.
Which is why you should always provide those resources. It saves lives. I really don’t see anything to suggest that the plaintiff is lying about having PTSD or is just trying to make money; I think that’s just the social stigma of PTSD providing you with rationalizations for your own problematic beliefs.
