so, is it grooming if an adult person online is encouraging a minor online to read or watch porn

Isn't that sexual harassment or illegal? It's so freaking weird if an adult encourages a minor to watch porn instead of sex Education. Porn is filled with all sorts of none realistic fetishist no sane adult would ever encourage a minor to actively consume it.

idk, man. As someone who had unmonitored internet access way too early and was groomed by a 20 year old at the ripe age of 10 (she fully knew my age), I don’t think it’s cool to encourage minors to engage with adult content or communities.
