Some (not so unpopular) unpopular opinions :
if porn is banned then there's no regulation for it, meaning when people inevitably set up illegal porn sites things like child porn and abuse are not off the table and will be much easier to find than right now. unless of course you want to implement mass survailance to make sure nobody's watching, which is a violation of our human right to privacy.
By that, I want to highlight how harmful it is in the long run. How to make people not watch it, honestly, I have no idea
It's like that for many vices such as alcohol- it's harmful but banning it is much worse than regulating it (see the history of 1920s America). I'm not convinced porn consumption is harmful but even if it was, it shouldn't be banned.
My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.
Hey wait a second....
I like porn
Not only car free but we should use tech to improve our cities and exist in balance with nature.
We could start tomorrow if we didn't have low consciousness humans running the planet.
Right now it's ridiculous how stupid everything is, I can't even follow the news anymore. :)
How would you implement porn banning? Through pervasive survailance?
Force all videos to be updated with the Mr. Bean filter, and hope it won't awaken something in people.
