Seriously folks, there's a lot of transphobic titles in porn, hard r's in interracial porn, lots of racist shit. More and more people are saying it. These racist slurs, they're not good folks. Why just the other day I was watching a video called "disgusting white boy cucked by bbc in front of his flawless aryan white wife" and the racist undertones and dehumanization of our black comrades was really bad, like really bad folks. Is this a bit? Kinda. Respond please and have sex with my wife.

    I remember having a friend in the industry who told me that she hated naming videos for free clip sites like pornhub and the like. The main point was to drive viewers to your private / paid site, but in order to get their attention you had to use the most fucked up language describing your own videos.

    Even self ran pornsites have been fucked over by 'the algorithm's. This normalises the use of slurs in the videos themselves in a really fucked way.

        It goes through cycles. There are some genuinely fun and funny pornos from the 70s that are psychedelic, full of laughter, hot and don't involve a lot of the crap we have today. Everything hit it's peak violence period in the 90s (according to Jon Ronson's Butterfly Effect), but since then has gradually died down. This combined with algorithm's being led by out tastes and also informing our tastes things have just gotten way more radical in language and thumbnails.

        I kind of cannot accept that watching these things, combined with the powerful , well power, of arousal and orgasm will not have an effect on the minds of the watchers. It kinda disturbs me, and I keep on wondering if it is the porn that is responding to something, or if it is creating it. Maybe its all realted to coping with a self-destructive instinct or something... I don't know, with some of the even fairly mild by modern standards things... how could a normal human being even enjoy watching that, or get off to it?

        What happened to holding hands, forehead kisses and getting tied up...

          Walks on the beach, soft whispers and mutual masturbation...

          straight up i wonder if that's why 4chan is so powerful at recruiting tbqh. The extreme ideology is interspersed with the porn.

          Those things absolutely have an effect on the mind of viewers. I mean we've seen what mass media does to the general population and I see no reason why porn wouldn't influence people either and in some ways it's probably more effective. Like you pointed out I also think there's a coping aspect to it. With some of my friends I can tell when their mental state has changed just from the porn they're sharing.

              Lmao I should probably point out that I spent many years on sites like tumblr. Sharing porn with friends in that context was pretty normal depending on what communities you were involved in.
