Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

Okay, you do not know if a porn user can be assured yet grabbing porn is resonable.

What kind of assurances do you have in mind? The same kind of assurances I get when I legally buy legal stuff in a legal shop? Which is implied in the fact that it is legal? The same thing should be true for legal porn

Law enforcement at work. Exactly as they should. Is there some problem with that?

Or the FTC unable to punish Aylo as they rightly deserve to be?

Even if Aylo remains financially solvent today, the facts are now clear: it is morally bankrupt.

Aylo remains in business today, mostly unburdened by the crippling financial liabilities that it rightly owes its victims, because Congress has not yet acted to restore Section 13(b) to its full strength. Those interested in curbing the abusive and destructive practices of this company—and, indeed, this industry—are invited to provide the Commission with the tools needed to do justice.
 
Nobody is taking responsibility for teaching healthy sexual relationships to children.

Instead you're falling all over yourself, trying to make excuses for a porn industry that's spamming undifferentiated kinks to children without restraint.

If the law and/or its enforcement are not as they should be, the people have means to change them, through their representatives. It's called democracy. And if the majority thinks they are fine as they are then that's the way it stays. Terms like "morally bankrupt" all sound fine and upstanding, but have no legal meaning.
Personally I am still, as I was before, of the opinion that pornography performed and produced by consenting adults should be legal and regulated.

You may have messed up the quote a bit. And I have not been talking about children anyway. Assuming this was directed at me at all, which is a guess

Yes, we are agreeing to an obvious truth. In the case of slavery though, perhaps not many would argue that therefore it shouldn't be banned.

Porn users have a vested interest in believing their performers are participating without some form of pressure.

A rather ridiculous strawman.

Are you implying the majority of porn performers are under pressure?

Argumentum ad populum.

Ideally, the law is what the (majority of) the people want it to be. So yes "ad populum". And rightfully so

As you wish but an argumentum ad populum remains a logical fallacy.
