    Yes, but the exploitative aspect is only one of the arguments against pornography. There is also the argument that it atomizes and alienates people from each other by allowing effortless consumption of sexual gratification instead of having sex with another person, and that will apply no matter the medium.

      Okay? Now it doesn’t matter what I think obv but IMO it’s weird to have a government enforce laws & prohibitions that in effect say “hey queers, you’re not allowed to fantasize about this, find someone to fuck idk”. Legislating to fight the exploitative nature of esp. live pornography? Cool, good. Legislating against this nebulous sense of atomization from personally consumed fiction…?

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in favor of it, and in fact I have a fairly recent post history arguing against it, but I’m paraphrasing arguments I’ve seen others make and upvote here on Hexbear.
