    That’s got to be a weird part of being a parent. Like I understand both needing to trust them, and needing to monitor them, but when you start taking the training wheels off I don’t think I would ever want to know about their interests unless they were telling me, because I know they would sensor it enough that I could be like, oh alright, I understand where you are coming from… but not need to see it for myself and have it burned into my brain

      I’ll never forget my dad taking me for a drive when I was 11 to tell me that he went on newgrounds and saw “lots of f words on there” and it wasnt a website i should continue visiting.

      But I knew that my dad saw hentai and had successfully repressed it into nothingness lmfao

        i too had someone warn me of the “dangers” of newground, tbh…I probably never would have found that site had they not told me

      Actually likely.

      It’s searched for a lot, and the new Gemini-Based safety filter spewed out the wrong bullshit data. Therefore it was just included as a search example for an underage account.

      May or may not be the explanation.
