Except that “rape scenes” are not the problem to begin with, it’s emotional-response optimized #doomscrolling “content” that is the problem – something that age-verification changes exactly zero about!
Yes, there are also those seeking this kind of thing out anyways (children or not), but that’s (a) a much smaller problem and (b) given a proper prior content warning, a single case of “View anyways” is generally enough to teach the lesson of why it was hidden to begin with. It’s not different from touching the hot stovetop. What we need here are broadly-available support networks to help deal with the burns.
Age verification (if done right), is merely a tool to decrease the likelyhood of eary-burns – somewhat balanced by the cost of allowing less learning possibilities. (All assuming everyone gets access to privacy-respecting, security-reviewed and non-intrusive implementions!)
I just don’t see how #age-verification is supposed to be the big game-changer.
