Porn was always degenerate, you just wanted to pretend it was all plain missionary sex. Look at the ancient greek mythologies for example where Zeus as a swan fucks a woman or it i remeber right, Loki as a horse gets raped or something. Basically all deviant stuff for all those ancients to come up with.
It's less porn doing that and a mix of retarded masturbation habits and performance anxiety/incompatible partners doing that, in my opinion.
In this case, yes. I'd like to see a lot of producers in prison.
I suspect they'd stop a softcore porn and the world would still be a better place. There is no slippery slope to free speech from pornography ("fuck the draft" as political free speech was exceptional too; nothing is added of worth), because pornography involves actors. The SCOTUS cases regarding pornography not being prostitution were fucking dumb as hell. Porn if anything is probably worse than prostitution. Pornography simply has zero redeeming qualities, which is supposed to be a part of the obscenity test.
So what happens when somebody wants to ban something you like for “the good of society”?
Imagine if they banned drugs or something. Society has the right to ban things. Marijuana decrim is coming, but we'll never see Holland style policies in the U.S. outside of possibly a couple of big cities. There's the political will to ban drugs and enforce the ban, there wasn't for marijuana in a lot of places. There isn't, sadly, for porn currently because a lot of people (mostly men) use it[1] and because it's somehow conflated with free speech and the psychic and spiritual harm that comes to the girls and even the guys involved isn't well known enough or they are too stigmatized for anyone to care. The negative effects of porn addiction on the recipient is tremendous too but as porn's not a topic of polite conversation discussion about them is marginal at best, that is, the support groups online and off. Really, most porn is on a moral level with human trafficking or worse. (Bring on your negatives coomers)
"Fuck the draft" was a reference to Cohen v. California. It is considered free speech. Saying the draft is wrong (it isn't) is free speech. Saying "fuck" is, arguably, obscenity. I personally don't care, but it was a questionable decision in my view and a downright exceptional precedent that was involved in getting us to where we are today.
You’re literally using SJW logic, wanting to ban everything you deem problematic and think that people using no-no words is ruining society.
Not words, dude, porn. Porn is a blight on society, "fuck" merely uncouth (although in 1971, it was a lot more uncouth.) I bring up that case to point out how we got to where we are.
Badly, yet the political will to ban them is still there, my point being that it's a function the state can legitimately undertake, even if it doesn't work that well, as is often the case of government. Drugs are still there. CP is still there. Porn will still be there if it is banned, I imagine it would be a situation like with the pedophile networks. But there's a ridiculous amount of porn out there already, it will surely see distribution, but the idea of a porn industry existing legitimately in society is an outrage. As a matter of fact, simply banning the +production+ of porn would be a great step. People could whack it to porn that already exists. For good measure ban aggregator-tube sites or something, too. Make it impossible to make money off it. I'd like to see every ounce of it put in a rocket and shot up to the moon, but it would be a good start.
