there are many valid reasons to dislike porn and the industry around it, why are all anti-porn communities so fucking weird?
between this and nofap im not sure who i want to hang around with the least honestly (and anyways these spaces are almost always filled with transphobes)
For real - the industry is horrific. I don’t feel comfortable with the real stuff; I don’t like not knowing if that person was treated fairly or paid what they were promised or consented to everything that happened. Zero puritanical aspect to it, zero issue with smut and drawn images.
It’s just frustrating how the weirdos are the ones most critical of the industry. The world would be better if all porn was stuff made by eager participants who were happy and paid well.
Younger consumers seem to very disproportionately favor small studios and individual creators with actors who at least pretend to be enjoying themselves, so I think things are likely getting better, if maybe slowly.
Because it's Christian extremism or the same but laundered through fake feminism
Because while the porn industry might not be great, suppressing sexual desire like they do is unhealthy.
To be human is to want sex. Everyone will at some point think or desire sex. Generally, unless you're a real rare case, you'll get horny once in a while.
I've spoken with a few people like in the OP in the past, and they yell this anti-porn rhetoric as if they're trying to loudly drown out their own sexual desires.
Because they are primarily formed by people who have or had a porn addiction. Everybody else just consumes safe porn in moderation.
I've seen this same thing happen with groups who are anti-gaming, anti-drugs, anti-drink. Many of them twist the idea to blame the "dangerous thing" instead of their own problems
