Well, it rhymes with the preceding line "So take it if you need it". And I'm reasonably sure that Alex managed to relish those literary masterpieces, perhaps with a different perspective than most moralists.
It's phenomenal popularity will probably be an impediment to it being banned.
Not to mention technology. The fact that almost everyone has a video camera in their pocket capable of making a 4K movie is also an obstacle.
Definitely. But outside of violence and torture, my guess is unless they have problems, they will be fine.
It's not just AI generated porn. Regular animated child porn has existed for decades. And I'd rather a person jerk off to an animation than to an actual child being harmed.
My oldest brother went to prison for sexually abusing his own children in the late 1970s. The availability of porn in 1978 was a fraction of what it is today. So I don't think that had anything to do with it.
How do you know that?
I have discussed the harms of porn (ad nauseam) earlier in the thread, so I already know it won't convince you or others....and as you allude to, it is difficult to prove.
Because I've known him for a very long time - more than thirty years. Granted, I can never truly know what's inside another person's mind, but in all that time I've never known him to have an aggressive thought outside roleplaying games. Also, there was never any evidence whatsoever that he had harmed a child, including his own son, who shows no signs of abuse. He was convicted of possession of a small amount of animated material and did a short time in minimum security. Obviously I can't know everything, but I can't think of anyone I know who is less likely to have deliberately harmed a real person. He's an archetypal passive nerd. He painted the front door to his house as the TARDIS. I was frankly surprised when he got married to an actual woman. I called it one of the signs of the Apocalypse. They're still married, by the way, thanks for asking.
No, you have not. You've danced and dodged and handwaved and appealed to the "it's been assumed forever" fallacy. Not once have you specified even one precise example of harm.
I suppose the ultimate test would be - would someone (with such trust as you have described) leave their (or a) child in the care of such a person?
Yes, I would.
Ok - it might be worthwhile pursuing this (if you wish also):
Are you going to start answering my questions at some point?
You want me to but some here want me to shut up about porn. You haven't provided any evidence that Pornhub is reputable and law-abiding apart from citing their T&Cs.
How about an AI fake featuring him sexually abusing a no-child-was-harmed child?
What other kind of evidence do you think I might be capable of having? Illegal porn is against the website's T&Cs. Is this a perfect solution? Obviously not, but they are doing what they can.
Please do. I look forward to any so far unrebutted posts demonstrating specific and precise ways that legal porn has harmed adults.
That would be extremely libellous and very, very illegal. I would contribute to his legal team for prosecution of such a horrific crime against him. I would bear witness to his character. I would want the perpetrator to face the full force of the law.
Your apologia of Pornhub is staggering.
Your condemnation of legally protected speech is staggering.
