OK, so the "good" in this case being making it more onerous to access a legal product and making it more likely that said consumers of product will have their personally identifying information stolen due to a particular extreme philosophical bent, got it. I'm going to say I vehemently disagree with your stance on this, but I don't think it's worthwhile for either of us to engage.
Edit 1:
> My views would've been considered normal, rational, and reasonable for almost everyone but the latest generation of porn addicts.
There's been pornography in some way, shape or form as long as there's been media to record it. There's been videos since the invention of film - prudes did their best to shut it down. Want to expand on what your "views" are? Because the ones you've expressed so far have been radical as far back as I'm aware of.
> If you want me to consider your opinion valid, I challenge you to take 1 year without viewing it, and then reconsider.
This seems very on brand to try to force others to take your stance just to engage with you.
Edit 2:
My last response on this as I abhor this "edit to respond" format.
I can't read the article, it's behind a paywall, but your initial argument:
> I’m going to be honest and say that I believe pornography is a level of sexual exploitation that no person, not even the actors involved, should be considered capable of legally consenting to partake in.
Does not in any way, shape, or form align with this argument:
> I believe, at this point, that pornography is actually increasing the subjection of women and increasing misogyny towards them, and there are actually many feminists who agree with me on this view.
In fact that first seems to be infantilizing the performers by literally saying that the women and men taking part aren't capable of making their own decisions. It's absurd that a woman can't be considered capable of consent to being photographed nude, and it's ridiculous to hide that stance behind "porn is misogyny".
