Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

And what you personally consider icky has even less bearing on what is or is not illegal. You think porn sex is icky? Fine, you do you, bruh.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

What your preacher says isn’t worth a wet fart through used toilet paper. Your preacher might say it’s a sin to eat pork or have sex on Sunday or cut your hair in certain ways or whatever, but that doesn’t make it the law of the land.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.

If you ask anti-porn crusaders why porn should be banned, you will usually get three answers: “My preacher says the invisible god I worship says it’s wrong,” “sex is icky yucky ick ick ick unless it happens between people I say it should happen between, in situations I say it should happen in,” and “lookit all the women who are hurt by porn, I totally care about saving women (but not respecting their autonomy, offering them paid maternity leave, or, you know, doing any of those other things that would materially improve women’s lives).”

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.
