Counterpoint: it’s a good way to teach responsibility to kids. You wouldn’t leave 100% of the care of a dog or cat to a kid, but for a hamster or goldfish, they can be fully responsible (for better or worse).
Update 26th April 2024: As has been pointed out to me overnight by a thousand helpful, furious strangers, describing a Sega fangame (one with Saturn button prompts, no less) as “SNES-style” is a crime deserving of imprisonment in the deepest depths of the Labyrinth Zone. Speaking as a former Genesis/Mega Drive diehard, I can only hang my head.
Never really understood the complaints about this tbh. Any time there’s relevant info from another movie or show, they summarize it, or it’s not necessary to enjoy the work on its own.
Like, Ms. Marvel has a magic bracelet and Photon is upset that Capt. Marvel disappeared for her whole life. That’s enough to go on and just enjoy the movie. If you want more detail, watch a YouTube video later, or just watch the series later 🤷
The comics have been operating this way for 100 years. If you want to start reading Batman, you don’t have to start with Detective Comics #1.

I believe their point is that an employer logically shouldn’t care if some third party fabricates an image resembling you. We still have an issue with latent puritanism, and this needs to be addressed as we face the reality of more and more convincing fakes of images, audio, and video.
The ubiquity of AI fakes will necessitate a cultural shift. Honestly, the world is going to be a nightmare of misinformation soon and nudes may very well be the least of our worries.
What other options do we have? An ironclad verification system for any fabricated content? Wildly harsh penalties for all caught creating it? The ship has sailed - we won’t be able to prevent it from happening.
I’d argue that overexposure will make people quickly become accustomed/nonplussed at information we don’t believe to be true and verify with the source. Look at how we treat other fabricated content - if I showed you a screencap of the Pope saying “Fuck” you’d want to verify with a source directly.
In most cases, the answer should really be “It’s none of my business”, but yes, it’d involve asking the person whether they’re authentic if you needed to verify for some reason.
But yes it really is wishful thinking, because it’s honestly about to be a shitshow. People are going to start getting credibly framed for things like child porn.
