I hope we all know this and are just doing it as a bit, but sometimes I do see shit on this website that makes me go “Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”
The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.
“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant. The idea that most people have in their heads about porn addiction is propaganda made up by evangelicals.
We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time. There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.
Most of the time when people talk about “the gooner problem” what they’re actually talking about is a mix of two unrelated things, people living normal sexually liberated lives, and undersocialized young men that don’t know how to interact with people.
Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to. Don’t fall for puritan propaganda comrades.
Facts. Lmfao at thinking otherwise. If there were better economic oppurtunities how many of them would go into it? I mean really? They use industrial levels of lube and the extreme one go to the point of prolapse. The absolute state of the racist category. The transphobic titles that persist on there. The way sites had to crack down on the pedo shit. The doxxing and harrassment the workers put up with. The abuse on the sets. Shit is
Then mfs go in on those workers when they switch to onlyfans for better pay and less physically taxing content
Without getting into too much detail, I know a good handful of people who draw erotic art/write erotic stories without any expectation that they will ever make money off of it. They just like making the stuff.
rando smut authors or queer bara artist on x aren’t usually what most people consume as porn.
I admit that mostly hanging out in autistic/LGBTQ+ spaces may have given me a skewed perception of such subjects
Tbh I mean the mainstream pornhub and hardcore stuff. There are so many stories of former ones that regret it because of the social stigma of sex work that strains their relationship with partners and family, getting screwed out of money, abuse etc. Some felt they were too young to make an informed decision on this. Others is because of religious stigma. Etc. Then there are the nastier ones that may not be mainstream… Tbf a lot of this is reflection of the society but I will always look at the mainstream industry with the
for embracing the bullshit
Makes sense, I’ve only been tangentially exposed to the big mainstream industry and what I saw was enough to make me not want to explore further.
I dunno what I’m talking about. I’m just a weirdo fighter tbh
Very different than getting prolapsed on set by an old fat dude who says he won’t pay you if you leave early, then having the title of the video be something horrendous like
cw: misogyny, SA, racism, incest

This shit is on the front page of the biggest sites, like constantly. Watched by tens of millions of men (and women) reinforcing this fascistic mindset. Like all over the place. I implore you to just go and look at it and face the horror.
I don’t doubt it’s awful, though it seems to me the common factor here is capital and the profit motive. Similar to how it turns gaming into endless horror stories of “modern military shooter about killing brown people with tie-in Army recruitment ads made by devs working 80-hour weeks who all got fired after the game made record profits” and “asset flip glorified slot machine.”
Mods removed my comment for being “SWERF” lmao
Yeah, they do that. It’s really stupid.
It’s the same tactic lib-zionists use when they label anti-Israel leftists as antisemitic.
They did the same thing to me a couple months back because I said I would judge coworkers who look at extremely sexualized anime content at work as weeb coomers. They called me a coomer for “thinking it’s sexual” and banned me
That’s because porn isn’t inherently fascist. You made a general statement that was incorrect. I corrected it. You clarify yourself a bit in other posts, so those are still up.
Capital P Porn, as in the existing Porn industry, absolutely is fascist
Lots of people agreed with my post, and it isn’t SWERF so restore it
Lots of people agree with alot of things that are incorrect.
Your comment was not accurate, and was swerf shit until you clarified in other posts. Swerf shit doesn’t get restored.
No it was not and you are wrong. My other posts “clarifying my position” are saying the same thing my original comment was. It was not SWERF and you have a bias that is causing you to not use a Marxist feminist lens
If lots of communists on this site agree, and I’m making a legitimate Marxist feminist argument about the actually existing porn industry instead of idealized figments, you are just attempting to control the conversation through mod fiat
Being a mod doesn’t make you right. Common mistake in here and in this thread is appeals to authority instead of engaging with material reality.
k
edit: since you went back and added 3 paragraphs after your first sentence: Your original comment states porn is inherently fascist. You do not state otherwise until other posts. That one got deleted. The others didn’t. If you don’t understand the decision, I dunno what to tell you. For fuck’s sake, we agree on this issue. Your post was worded badly enough to be taken out of context, so its gone. End of.
