fwiw i believe the porn industry should be cracked down on. Banned? No. Regulated and heavily stunted? Absolutely. Not only is porn bad for the mind, spirit, and soul, but the women involved are often trafficked or abused. It’s a dehumanizing industry which commodifies a women’s body. |
While there are aspects of your post that are valid, the fact that you have excluded men from your post shows that you’re only seeing this form of media through one particular lens.
Porn is made for and created by both men and women. It is a form of expression and often gives these performers agency in crafting the life they want to choose for themselves. It is an economy just like any other and I’d argue that there is more exploitation going on in normal fields of work than there necessarily is in the porn industry.
Does trafficking and exploitation take place in the porn industry? Absolutely and it should be heavily regulated. But should grown adults be allowed to choose how they spend their free time and showcase their gifts? Also absolutely. Your own moral response to these activities is a moot point assuming they are of consenting age.
