(80,708 posts)which is the topic of the thread, and how free content on the internet has done more damage to their profits than she ever could.
She's only relevant because she made battling porn her life's work, or a prime focus of it. It doesn't mean she wasn't extreme.
And seeing some repeatedly-posted guy go "holy shit porn is horrible" isn't going to change my opinion, sorry. "most porn" isn't anything- "porn" encompasses a whole lot of stuff. People like what they like. The people who like the stuff you think is horrible, aren't going to be swayed by your argument. The people who don't like what you what think is horrible, are not going to be swayed by your argument that the stuff they like has anything to do with the stuff you think is horrible.
What you have is tired old anecdotal evidence of people cherry-picking examples of whatever it is they're railing against (or simply coming from bizarro reality, like the documentarian who believes porn is oppressive when it contains blowjobs), and then trying to make some sort of sweeping generalizations from them. I'm a grown up, and I make my own decisions about entertainment. Beyond that it's inanely patronizing to assume that strangers you meet on the internet simply haven't thought about these grand pronouncements and generalizations you're making about something they may very well be more familiar with, than you are.
There is always the possibility- remote, sure- that you're simply WRONG.
But I'll do you a favor; I won't try to tell you - or 're-educate' you- on what to watch, read, or think about. Aren't I nice?
