What are the harms of pornographic media? To me it seems pretty clear that they help reduce sexual violence (why risk jail if I can safely indulge in a fantasy), and I wouldn't be surprised that countries with pornographic bans are more misogynistic.

- gjsman-1000 1y agoThis is like arguing legalizing prostitution prevents rape; and actually, it should be mandatory to allow it for that purpose. If we had a brothel in every city and in the back of every gas station, surely this would work out better for everyone.
- js8 1y agoNo, it's not the same thing. Legalizing prostitution still involves real people which can be harmed during the act; replaying depictions in media does not.
- gjsman-1000 1y agoIf they consented and signed up for the job, you’re now disinterested in their consent? You’re now saying they can’t consent to this? And besides, it’s not like OF stalkers exist.
- js8 1y agoI don't understand what position you're arguing for. In case of prostitution, there has to be lot more consent given, unlike in media (where it might not be required at all, in case of drawn or generated content). More consent => more risk of it not being given properly. In any case, my question and argument wasn't about consent at all, but harm. I can see a world with brothel on every corner being easily more harmful than a world with access to pornography, even if the consent is 100% in both worlds.
