It's not that porn is a moral hazard, but that most porn under capitalism is designed to be as addictive as possible, and propagates the dominant patriarchal attitudes toward sex. The criticism that porn makes people more misogynist is no different from the criticism that social media algorithms funnel people toward right wing content.
It's possible to consume porn healthily even under capitalism, but a porn addiction is a surprisingly prevalent issue. If you're spending significant amounts of time every day exposing yourself to the sexist attitudes of mainstream porn that's going to affect how you see the world.
There's a defnitely people who treat it as a weird moral thing though, especially among chuds and SWERFs. I think it's important for leftists to offer a counter narrative and show that porn isn't the problem, it's just (as always) capitalism making it as exploitative as possible.
i don't mean criticisms of the porn industry, i mean treating porn like a moral hazard like are we catholic now
i think it's really funny that all the blurbs on that self help pdf are from redditors and 4channers tho
