Comment on Another 62 ‘Girls Do Porn’ Victims Sue Pornhub for $600 Million
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months agoI dont agree that you’re trying your best. So long as you’re coming to the table saying “I need to watch porn, and if I get off to a women being sexually abused then whatever it happens” I can’t agree that you’re making what I would consider to be a reasonable effort. The least you could do is, like I said before, make every effort possible to vet whatever pornographic content you consume. So that you are as certain as you possibly can be that what you’re watching isn’t sexual abuse.

I don’t agree you’re trying your best as long as you continue to consume even one iota of slave-produced goods.
In all honesty, if you want to try your best as an individual, then it starts with aligning yourself with other individuals. External shame and guilt are shitty motivators. Have actual discussions, with actual depth. Start with not reframing things into negative connotations needlessly, by realizing that each and every individual, yourself included, os deeply flawed and does shit they really wish they hadn’t, and have urges that do actually need to be fulfilled. Start by realizing that people taking any kind of step, even half-step, is better than shutting people out for not being perfect. Extend some empathy to people who are actually trying, who have thought about this stuff, even if they land on a slightly different space than you.
Most of the people in this thread aren’t your enemies, they’re more aligned with your beliefs than you seem to want to acknowledge. You can either accept them, actually talk, and make allies, or you can condemn and alienate them, force them out of your spaces, and into ones where people WILL talk with them, about all the ways out side is wrong.

No, I do not see “gets off to women being raped” as an evil but excusable action equivalent with eating nestle chocolate.
I don’t mind holding men accountable for getting off to the sexual abuse of women. If that alienates them then good, I’m not pandering to misogynists.

Cool, you’re what’s wrong with the progressive movement. Glad to know.

By alienating misogynists? I as a woman should be willing to partake in a movement with misogynists in it? No, and I don’t have to either.
