Most people aren’t paying for their porn. They’re watching stuff uploaded, for free/pirated, often without the involvement or approval of the people involved.
Porn also normalizes extreme acts - things like choking, which is more dangerous than actually whipping someone.
Video games for the same exact reasons are also morally problematic. If you are against piracy then you have to say all piracy is immoral. Gotta admit that or else you just have a double standard. Unless you think cartoon porn is fine. Porn can be wrong for different reasons like labor practices. Addiction to anything is bad.
Wait, why are video games problematic and why are you mentioning addiction when @andros_rex@lemmy.world never mentioned addiction as a factor in why porn is problematic? There are many gamers like me who don’t pirate/stopped pirating games.
I think there’s a particular problem with “piracy” when it involves people’s naked bodies. There are a ton of consequences to having naked photos or videos of you having sex posted publicly.
Most of the major porn websites (Pornhub, Brazzers, etc) are owned by the same mega corp (MindGeek? I forget, they’ve changed their names multiple times. Also have connections to Canadian organized crime…) That mega corp has been sued multiple times for hosting both revenge porn and CSAM.
Like, when you are watching porn, how do you know that the person consented to it being recorded and uploaded to that website? How do you know that someone didn’t upload private videos of their ex or an older looking child?
I don’t really have a problem with cartoon porn because it doesn’t have those risks. When people draw cartoon porn they’re drawing it to share. It does concern me that kids searching for their favorite cartoon characters are likely to encounter porn, but that’s a different issue.
its addiction to it thats the problem, you also have to seek out more deviant acts to become satiated, it isnt out there in normal sites. porn ED means you watched too much.
thier are help groups, forums for people with porn ED if you are too embarrased to see a therapists.
