Reddit: No More Suggestive Content Featuring Minors

First time accepted submitter say_hwat writes "Today Reddit announced that it has banned subreddits dedicated to posting sexualized imagery of people under the age of 18. Last year, the site came under fire for r/jailbait, a subreddit dedicated to posting images of people under 18. The subreddit was shut down, but many others, such as r/gaolbait and r/bustybait, continued existing or sprung up afterwards. The policy change today came hours after a thread on Something Awful called for a public campaign against Reddit's lax attitude towards the sexualization of children. The Something Awful thread creator claims that Reddit's administrators know about child pornography being traded, but refuse to act. Among others, the thread creator cites r/preteen_girls as being particularly egregious."

    You sound like all the other creeps who were ranting and raving about this on Reddit. Naked pictures of a 14 year old girl are illegal. Sexual imagery of preteen girls is child porn. The main subreddit in question was called /r/preteen_girls for god's sake. One of the subreddits was devoted to encouraging underage girls to submit photos of themselves to the site--you okay with that?

    Hell, you're creepy just for using the word "jailbait" to describe underage girls.

    Picture it being your daughter, and some creepy motherfucker eyeing her up. Put yourself in someone else's shoes.

    Shitting is a natural function as well, but that doesn't mean you take a crap in the middle of the street.
