Yaoi does not mean porn, libraries do not stock porn. Lots of books, movies, and graphic novels have steamy sex that does not make them porn.deadish said:She is 10.Meaning of Karma said:So, why does anyone actually care?

And I don't think libraries are allowed to stock pornographic content - they should at least put it in a "restricted" section.
I'm not going to debate whether we should let kids view porno, I have no opinion actually, but current social norms say no.
It's hard to argue it isn't pretty damn close - depending on how explicit it is, it could be anything from ultra softcore to real hardcore.Darknacht said:Yaoi does not mean porn, libraries do not stock porn. Lots of books, movies, and graphic novels have steamy sex that does not make them porn.
I think it's pronounced "Yow-ee", but who the fuck knows, it's Japanese.Zhukov said:This article upsets me.

I mean, three vowels and a "y"? Come on, what the hell?
I was brought to the public library under adult supervision at age 10. That kind of independence wasn't granted to me until age 12-13.dyre said:I'm a bit confused at the "hurrr, bad parenting" comments here. What did the guy do that's bad parenting? Were you all brought to libraries under parental escort as kids? I know when I was a kid, I always stopped at the library on the way home from junior high, along with a decent number of other kids (it was pretty much right next to the school).
It's probably more of a case-by-case thing. If you've got a responsible, intelligent kid or you happen to live next to a library, you're probably more likely to let him go alone than if you've got an idiot kid or if the library is halfway across town.-Dragmire- said:I was brought to the public library under adult supervision at age 10.

10 seems too early to me.
