I think that's exactly what the guy was talking about.

Though, EqD is probably the best thing there, maybe he should tell his sister what the tags grimdark means, not all of it is cupcakes.

If childen are so tech-sawwy, maybe they're also mature enough not to have a mental breakdown because they find an image of Rainbow Dash eating Pinkie Pie.

And of course, you can find porn of just about ANY children's cartoon with a simple google search. How is FiM any different.

If you let your little kids use the Internet without any adult supervision, you should be prepared that sooner or later they will stumble onto something that could traumatize them for life, be it goatse, hardcore gay porn or rule34 of their favorite character. That's exactly why Internet is bad place for children, but of course it's easier to blame others than to admit that you are a lazy parent.

"traumatize them for life"

That's a bit harsh. Sure they may be a bit weirded out, but unless they go searching for hardcore real-life gore pics they should be fine.

I understand the wish to keep grimdark stuff away from kids, but you could not have used a worse example than Equestria Daily. Their story archive comes with a very simple filter system, and the mods on there are upstanding examples of what bronies should be. That said, keep in mind that you can't try to protect kids from every possible thing they could see on the internet. You'll end up making them paranoid and afraid of the internet as a whole, and that's no way to do things.

Artist: You know, people should tag their work properly and keep it to sites meant to contain adult work.
Audience: FUCK YOU! WE PUT OUR PRONZ WHEREVER WE WANT! WHO CARES IF IT'S A SFW SITE?!?
Or something like that, i can't bring myself to give all that much of a crap anymore.

Fanfiction is much worse than porn, even the nice ones are full of weird stuff that nobody should ever read.

Nice comic.
It really is important to tag stuff properly.
With tagging and filtering, this website becomes an enjoyable one for me instead of endless coal for this ragetrain.

And as a counter-point to everyone saying that kids will come across porn regardless, here's a counterpoint:

As a young lad, I was quite the Godzilla fan. I was always searching for more and more Godzilla websites. Thanks to the proper filtering of Google, however, I never came across THAT website. Additionally, thanks to the respectful members of the websites browse, a link to THAT website was never posted.
My point is, from personal experience, it is possible to avoid having children come across pornographic images of shows they like.

Yep, accidental exposure can be avoided by being considerate. Which is what the comic is actually saying.

If a cartoon pony vagina or a story about rainbowdash being murderer is the worst thing that an unsupervised child gets into on the internet, then you should get on your knees and thank your favorite deity

The world doesnt and shouldnt revolve around taking care of other people's children, if you want them to visit my little pony websites vet them yourself and supervisor your fucking kids

Also, cutesphere's claim that she's not meaning to shame the fandom is really undermined by her acknowledgement of the fandom as a wretched hive of terrible grimdark writers and r34 artists.

To be fair she never paints it as a "wretched hive", she merely points out the fact that there is indeed a lot of that stuff going around.

Also that's just her sister not daughter, and she said they live far apart and she cant really supervise her even if she wanted to. I suppose she could always just tell her mother to do that.

Oh the irony, warning parents to watch out for their daughters when they search for My Little Pony stuff online.

You are projecting what you want to see. Either that, or narrowing down your perspective so you only see a tiny little bit of the whole picture.

The problem the comic is really talking about is just users dropping links and such to NSFW content on otherwise SFW sites. I'm pretty sure that's what the comic is really addressing.

For the most part EQD has been diligent in tagging NSFW work sources as such. And quite frankly all the grimdark stories are not cupcakes esque. Heck I saw in the blog posts a few days ago the prereaders condemn those stories with the heat of a tropical volcano. I do hear what artist has to say about the content. But one REALLY has to do some specific searching in order to come up with those results

EQD is there as a catchall generic name, if anything, this is obviously not directed at that site.

^This. It's not lazy parenting. Kids don't want adults on their backs all the time when they surf the Internet. Who wants that? If you tag it correctly, then at least the chances of an underaged child stumbling on pron and whatnot is greatly reduced.

sanctimonious messages like this always irritate me, because the very concept that you can protect your children by shielding them from the world as opposed to teaching them to adapt to reality is ass backwards.

Sex & Violence is everywhere, it doesn't matter if its a pony or something more mainstream, eventually all children will be exposed to it at some point, and its not the end of the world either.

Walking around with the expectation that people should change the way they act, should censor themselves for the sake of you and your child is misguided, moralistic and annoying.

You are forgetting that the main reason we protect children is because they need to achieve a point of maturity before being able to deal with certain things.

I disagree also with your sex and violence is everywhere. I don't see people fighting on my streets, I don't see people walking around naked. It's a matter of where you live, and where you let children go. If you mean the TV, it's a matter of which channels you allow your children to see.

Everyone has to conform to live well in society. This is why we use clothes, isn't it? We have morals and rules in order to live better with other people.

- My response to such thinking is that its flawed, protecting children against the world they live in, and the culture that surrounds them is absurd, potentially damaging to a child, because a sheltered life only guarantees they do not have the body of knowledge that only comes from first hand experience to deal with what they see. Closing your eyes, or closing the eyes of your children is no defense

I disagree also with your sex and violence is everywhere. I don't see people fighting on my streets, I don't see people walking around naked. It's a matter of where you live, and where you let children go. If you mean the TV, it's a matter of which channels you allow your children to see.
-this is where you are taking my words too literally, and yes sex and violence, it seeps into every facet of our culture, and to attempt hide from the two is akin to sticking your head in the sand, because everywhere you look, its there. Its not just the TV, its the movies, its your kids games, its the comedys they see, and values they pick up on from their friends and the people at school, to other adults who don't share your views, the girl/boy next door, its everywhere, its called human contact. and you'd need to lock your child up in an empty room to create the sterile environment you think children flourish under.

Everyone has to conform to live well in society. This is why we use clothes, isn't it? We have morals and rules in order to live better with other people.
and here we are at the heart of the matter. No no one has to conform to anything to live well. I am living proof of that, and morals and rules you cling to are nothing but the dregs of a misogynistic, homophobic, puritan religion thats crept its way up into later generations.

It's been proved that children at different ages deal with things at different ways. Where did I say they wouldn't be told about these things? I said that they would be told at the right time, right age. At each year does sex ed starts at your country, for example?

No, it's not. Per example, let's pick Animaniacs. It contains a good dose of adult humor, and yet it's considered a children cartoon. Why? Because children doesn't get it's more mature jokes. There is a far difference between showing somebody a porno, or showing a movie about indians. Both have naked characters, but the message is completely different. It's a matter of context.

Since you are being offensive, let me break your little world for you: No society thrived with the thinking: "I can do whatever I want". You will probably say "I have the right of freedom!" Well, let me break it to ya: no, you don't. You can't say or do everything you want to. You can't insult an officer on duty. You can't spit on the president. I dunno where you live, but here I am you can't call blacks dirties and you can't discriminate people for their favorite soccer clubs, etc. Why you can't do those things? Because that would be anarch, that would be chaos. And no society have survived in chaos.

Order and progress, my friend. A person has to live with the rules estabilished by the society, the most of the population. Or you can try to become an outcast, to live by yourself. If you already are one, you know how hard it is to live this way.

You may disgress the moral and rules as much you want, but you must remember that it was the collective who made them, not a minority (like yourself, who wants to change what is working very well), in order to better the lives of people. I don't know if you really consider yourself smarter than society itself, or if you view it as a flawed mechanic, or whatever. The fact is that society, a collective of humans under the same beliefs is needed for our survival. You may curse, scream, do whatever you want, society isn't going to change for over a single person whinings.

If you really want to change something, make most of the population agree with you. If they don't, I am sorry, but you will have to, as they say, DEAL WITH IT.

If she's really smarter than most people would give her credit for...explain it to her.

Tell her to be careful of those things, and if she goes and looks anyway then...well...kids do that shit.
