Science has shown that pornography is as harmful to humans as narcotics. I think it's very important to spread awareness of the dangers associated with porn addiction:

@unfa I find it telling that the first reply that you got to your "scientific totally not religious" anti-porn toot is someone chiming in about porn being immoral.
The link that you posted seems heavy of the articles and opinion pieces and light on the raw research data. Which studies. How many participants? What hypothesis did they have before the studies? What sigma? Which cultures?

If we define "immoral" as "harmful to everyone involved" - it doesn't seem contradictory to me.
There are links to referenced scientific papers on the bottom of the pages usually (attached screenshot).
I have not read and analysed all of them (I did read a few of them years ago when I first learned about this site).
My experience aligns with what is written there though.

@unfa thinking it as immoral without question is very narrow and close-minded. some people actually enjoy working on the area, it is just the whole conditions around it being so awful.
ostracizing them like you do contributes to this, so *you actually hurt them* with this mindset. as I see it, you are the one implying their work in value-less, not them.

@unfa I get you. But it is not a reason to hate on porn itself, or wanting to stop it altogether, or assuming it is bad. Understandable that you had issues with it, many other people dont.
I mean, the gaming industry is really in an awful place right now, but we do not label games as this bad hurtful thing. After remakes of my old time-favorites became a cesspool of a marketplace, it has completely put me off from playing games. But you know, all things not being equal, etc

@falktx I don't think I said anything about the people. My issue is with the industry and the ecosystem. I wish all the best to those working in there - I only wish they'd stop taking part in this destructive process, for the sake of everyone involved. I also do understand a lot of the people are forced to work that way. I especially wish better work and better life to those. I hope that's clear.
