    I am not anti-porn, but I am anti porn industry. The porn industry is gross and really awful to a lot of people, even moreso than other industries. And in practice a lot of porn acts as an amplifier for a lot of societies problems. Racism is already bad, but racism in porn gets so much worse. Sexism is already bad, but sexism in porn gets so much worse.

    I think it's hard to argue that the porn that people consume doesn't affect their attitudes in their daily lives. It's probably not a good thing that people are getting off to racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. I'm anti porn that plays up and furthers these attitudes. However this ends up being quite a large portion of porn.

    I guess a reasonable analogy is that I am anti coal mining, but not anti coal miner. Of course a major difference is that ethical porn can exist in principle (and some does exist) while we should not be mining coal whatsoever.

        No I mean the racism in porn is even more exaggerated and explicit than racism in real life. Like in a movie they'll stereotype by like having a black guy play a gangster. In porn they'll have a black guy go "I'm gonna rape you with my big black cock."

        I'm against stuff like FOSTA. And as I said, I am not anti-porn, but you can't tell me that you think the porn industry (outside of independently produced stuff such as onlyfans) as it stands today is not horrible.

            Your argument is correct but it's not an excuse to be racist on an individual level. Racist porn videos should be taken off the internet, just like other types of racist videos.

            policing the bodily autonomy of people

            They don't have autonomy as capitalist subjects. The makers of that "Blacked" racist cuck porn aren't doing so of their free will (well maybe lol)

        Less than 20% of human trafficking is sex trafficking. 99% of sex workers feel less safe with your disingenuous attempts at white saviorism.

        I've read the article and ran through the UN report it cites. Which was a global study, unless the "white savior" study that is US-centred.

        The less than 20% (19 to be exact) number is good to hide the actual impact of sex trafficking, so let's use the actual number

        4,8 million people in the world are victims of sex trafficking. And counting. Girls are disappearing on a daily basis from orphanages where i live as soon as they turn 16. They usually turn up at dutch or swiss brothels.

        I would like to see a query with them too.
