9gag why you no

Women are frequently referred to as "bitches" and men as "d--ks," and although there's no overt hate speech, there's a lot of harsh commentary that can erupt on the site. There's a heavy emphasis on fun and the female form, but occasionally, images and GIFs such as stop-action videos border on pornography.

Although it's possible to block images categorized as NSFW not safe for work on the settings page which alone demonstrates its adult nature , parents who are sensitive to advanced imagery may want to block this one.

Either way, parents who want to keep their kids innocent just a bit longer may want to add this site to the blocked list. Families can talk about the whole issue of adult- and kid-appropriate content: Why are these depictions of human bodies not appropriate for kids? Does the fact that they're online or anonymous make a difference? Talk about the nature of public forums : What happens when one user doesn't like what another says?
