Oh shove off with this Puritan attitude. First off, you're implying most of PornHub is rape. That'a ridiculous; no one is uploading videos of actual rape to PornHub.

Secondly, porn ≠ abuse. It's an actual industry and so obviously the treatment of women varies by company.

Simply put, if you don't like porn, DON'T WATCH IT. Don't try to shove your personal beliefs on everyoje else.

1. That's an opinion piece, not a piece of investigative journalism.

2. That's from 5 years ago; who knows if this is even still the case, even assuming it's as widespread as the opinion piece claims.

3. See my second point.


For what it's worth, both the pieces are part of a smear campaign by an American far right Christian group called Exodus Cry.

Among other things, Benjamin Nolot who runs Exodus Cry is a holocaust denier


I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. The hyperconservative scumbags (alas I repeat myself) will stoop to anything to shove their beliefs on everyone else.


Can gay men still watch porn, or should they feel bad too?


I hate about full access to Reddit? Discord? Have you tried accessing the internet from a location with these laws in place?
