Pornography should be allowed on DDO

1)Net decrease in website traffic DDO contains a large portion of minors. Parents can control what content their children can and cannot see. Many parents do not like their children viewing pornographic material [1]. It is very likely that parents would filter this website, or punish them for viewing this website. This website also has potential to be used by educators. Educators are very likely to use this website due to its nature of improving critical thinking, writing skills and persuasive writing ability. However, if pornography is allowed, then educators would be very hesitant to use this website for teaching. While many of us might log on to debate. org during school or work, employers and school administrators would likely block this website, decreasing its traffic. 2)The communities increasing lack of respect for this website It is obvious that society views pornography as a crude form of entertainment with very little merits. The community would think negatively of us if pornography was allowed. This is for example, the case with 4chan which allows pornography. There are very little, if any well respected website that allows users to post pictures or videos of pornography. YouTube does not allow pornography. Yahoo answers does not allow posting of explicit sexual content. These policies are very effective in making website community friendly, respected and popular. 3)Posting pictures or videos that could harm others and/or be illegal When askbob posted a picture of InsertNameHere, she got extremely upset over this. This picture did not depict her in a negative fashion; however it was still a cause of controversy. If pornography would be allowed this problem would only get worse. Persons could post nude pictures of others without their consent. Although illegal, people viewing the image or video would not know whether it was distributed with consent or not, until it has already reached circulation. One can only imagine the torment and embarrassments that the person would feel. The damages would be irreversible. Also remember that many members on this site are minors. It is very plausible that a person would post a pornographic depiction of themselves. This would be considered child pornography. This would lead to a lawsuit against the owners of DDO. If people do post pornographic pictures of themselves, he or she could also regret the decision later. [2] 4)Pornography would not enhance any features on this website This site is unique. It is a chance to engage in debates, engage in intellectual conversation, express controversial or differing beliefs, laugh at witty remarks, and meet unique people. While the site's dynamics has changed over the years, it nonetheless is a very unique place with potential for future growth. Pornography would not enhance any features. Pornography is so common, that one can easily find it on the internet. There is no need for it to be here. Why should we have pornography here, when I can just go to any website to find it? 5)A decreasing morale on DDO Pornography only serves the very primitive instincts of humans. It is very unlikely to stimulate intellectual dialog, and instead degrade to our primitive nature. This is the case of 4chan. [3] Instead of this website attracting intelligent and mature people it would instead attract very immature or stupid people. It is more than likely that the flaming and personal attacks could increase. Pornography would cause the sexual objectification of women on this site. Women here would only be seen here for their boobs, not their brain. An environment that sexual harasses and disrespect women could very well persist. Female users would constantly be harassed with: "Tits or GTFO". This is not what DDO is meant to do. . http://www.superkids.com...[1] . http://www.mybiggestregretever.com...[2] . http://www.foxnews.com...[3]
