I'm not sure if we're talking about the chicken or the egg in this scenario.
I'd consider it that the dehumanizing aspects of porn tend to be reflecting an already misogynistic and racist society that already has sexual pathologies going on, moreso than the porn creating or even antagonizing it.
Or maybe it does, maybe it's part of the feedback loop that seems to create this type of toxic thought.
I'll say I watch porn a decent amount and it hasn't done shit to me, but I'm able to separate porn as fantasy from the reality of a real relationship. Though I'm not into the abusive stuff.
But I still think most people can do that as well, and the ones that cannot would likely find another outlet to exacerbate their toxic predilections one way or another.
Just so I understand, are you suggesting that porn was making him hate women and into an incel?
If so, I don’t think that’s an accurate read. I’m not at all surprised an alienated dude with unpacked misogyny was watching a ton of porn though.

I'm saying the way women are treated in some porn is dehumanizing and I think it contributed to his hatred of women.
