Comment on Another 62 ‘Girls Do Porn’ Victims Sue Pornhub for $600 Million
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months agoOkay, so now you know that a non zero amount of porn you consume is made by sexually abusing women. Are you going to certify that anything else you consume is safely and ethically produced in a non-coercive manner by participants who are consenting and capable of withdrawing that consent? Are you going to make sure you only consume ethical porn? Are the rest of the people in this thread? Are they going to continue to consume pornography the same way they have been, with little regard for how its made and by whom and the circumstances of the actors being filmed?
If your answer is yes, then good. I hope you’re able to understand why the very existence and tolerance of this industry and this content is absolutely horrifying to me.

I take every reasonable step that I can. I also speak out when I see something truly gross and damaging. I ALREADY DO THESE THINGS. The difference is, when I see a video that’s even ethically questionable, I don’t point to the viewers and go “AH HAH I KNEW IT WAS YOU!” I point to the people who made the thing.
Let me ask you this. What is worse? Raping a woman (or man,for that matter) and recording it, or watching the video? I would absolutely say doing the act is worse than watching it. Circumstances don’t even really matter. It doesn’t matter of the watcher knows it’s a rape, or anything else except MAYBE of they explicitly commissioned the film. The act is far worse than watching it, in my opinion.
My view is simple. Point your anger to the people ACTUALLY DOING BAD THINGS instead of those that just come after the fact.

Masturbating to a woman being sexually abused IS a bad thing. Two different things can both be bad.

Sure and so is speeding. Different degrees of bad, or is nuance completely lost on you?

I do not agree that masturbating to sexual abuse is comparable to speeding.
