Well, when you stop and really think about it, a change in the way sites are censored doesn't really sound all that outrageous. Yes, it would SUCK for those of us working in this industry, but I'm open enough to see it from both perspectives. I also think we will see a change in other countries eventually as well, (just maybe not to this magnitude).
People talk about it affecting the "mental health" of a adolescent kid growing up nowadays, and I can't help but somewhat agree. I'm only 28, but when I was growing up it took a lot of work to get my hands on porn. Steal a magazine or videotape from your parents or friend's parents. Internet porn meant looking at playboy type material that took forever to load on my 9600baud modem.
What was available 12-14 years ago was nothing like what's available today. There is rape, face fucking, scat, vomit, spit, domination, fuck you name it, it's out there for anyone to view with just a few clicks. You can argue it's the responsibility of the parents and the use of parental controls should eliminate access.
But, we all know that's bullshit. If it's out there kids are going to find a way to watch it. It was true then when parents hid a box of porn in the basement and it's the same now. If I was a kid growing up in today's world, no parental control or censor would stop me from viewing porn. The generation of kids growing up today are way more tech savvy than their parents.
Millions of terabytes of the sickest porn imaginable is out there, and nearly every household has a DSL or faster connection to it. It's really not that difficult to present a case for change.
