You didn’t have to be looking for porn – it was super common to run across CP or beheading videos in random niche interest forums posted by trolls. So many times I saw something I did not want to see when clicking for a knitting pattern.

e: I have psychological scars from that Dan Pearl video – for a while in the mid-aughts, it was literally unavoidable unless you stopped using the internet entirely.

On the forums I visited there was an area where new users were allowed, intended for describing who they are and why they should be allowed further.

But generally - I think I might have seen something like that, but without registering it in my memory.
