Harshhhhh... You're not wrong, though. But in fairness, Shikamaru doesn't go out without highlighting a few real problems that absolutely need to change in the landscape. For one thing, this shows us that parents need to be more involved in their children's online habits and overall upbringing. More communication is needed. At the same time, children should be insisted again and again that getting obsessed over one thing isn't good. I'm not a social educator or anything of the sort, but I think if you bring strong foundations for your children, the less chances there are for them to go towards undesired paths. Easier said than done, however, but the possibility will always be there. For Shikamaru it wasn't as simple as "being unable to moderate himself", he had rough circumstances. 

Furthermore, when Shikamaru says "porn causes x", that's where he's certainly wrong. As you already said, pornography doesn't cause anything, it's all on people. In that sense, we have to find the ways for people to stop developing unrealistic expectations for body proportions and stop seeing others as mere objects even if they watch porn; or in other words, consume it responsibly.

hmm, bit of a double edged sword that. You could get parents that just wait until their kids are ready/old enough to discover things themselves, or you could get brainwashed kids because their parents only let them see things that agree with what their views.

Yeah, but naturally you have to discover the happy middle. I think parents should just be aware whether or not their children are watching things that are having a negative outcome on their lives, act when you notice things are mildly going wrong, which is different from outright restricting every thing that the parents deem bad. That is very broad, of course, but I'm not here to narrow what is good or bad. I just know that becoming obsessed with pornography and letting it change your perspectives (such as seeing people as objetcs of pleasure) is not good, especially at such a young age. The fact that porn is legally only made available for adults is for reasons like those, but I mean, I do not think it is entriely wrong if a horny teenager watches it. I myself started watching it at 11 or 12, I think? And even though my mother didn't ever check on me for that kind of stuff, I never let it take too much control. If anything, video games were my real Achilles' heel. 

OnlyFans was too expensive, btw. What I mean by that is that some people charged for more videos and photos that weren't included in regular subcriptions, if I'm not mistaken. That is a hell of a business.
