Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised? (mander.xyz)

It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don't seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

Sexuality being normalised isn't a bad thing but have you seen the state of porn lately? the front page of any given porn tube site is such that you cannot have a wank in peace without seeing abusive 'taboo' stuff mostly around incest and women being spat on and strangled. I can't believe that this is some agenda being pushed, they produce this content according to demand. This is to say nothing of the even darker stuff with revenge porn and trafficked teenagers etc. Porn can be fine if ethically produced, the current state of it is fucked up

Did you think for a second and realise that some women enjoy being spat on and strangled? Just search for male porn in the same category and be amazed some men and nonbinary people also like to be spat on and strangled. Stop kinkshaming.

Stop kinkshaming

No. Getting off on abuse and degradation is despicable

......?

I've been raped in the past, and CNC helps me get past that. You seem to have a very twisted, reactionary worldview when it comes to sex.

Have you considered that your opinion is effectively worthless? You're 1 in 8 billion.

It's the same with the drug game. It'a not (all) drugs that are inherently bad... It the dealers pushing them.

It's the same with porn... You have shitty marketing and businessmen pushing it.

Like... If you were prescribed Adderall and couldn't get it because the shortage. If you knew a "good" dealer then they could get it for you and try to match your prescribed dose. But if you went to a "bad" dealer they'd push meth to get more sales in the future. Same goes for oxy and heroin/fent.

Marketing and the business is the evil. Not the actions so to speak. A good dealer or business man would help you stop if your life was going downhill.

Shit, it's the same with social media influencers. They are just toxic and out for themselves.
