Guardian: Porn to Porn Pipeline

[Jim Burton]

Split from another topic.

As for Radical Feminists, I do wonder what Harriet Grant's recent "evidence" for the "porn to porn pipeline" is?

A quick sweep of her 2-year freelance corpus betrays her myopic, Beatrix Potter notion of "children's rights" as a kind of performance by young people of her own middle class morality play. She has written on two subjects, from what I can tell, the freedom of children to kick balls around dusty back alleys free of health and safety signage (a major priority) and the fact that children are getting arrested for images on their phones (less of a priority, as in her opinion this is a natural consequence of the adult entertainment industry, not shit lawmaking). If anything demonstrates so perfectly the obscene and callous gamification of morality in modern society, it is these spectator-sport feminists feigning "concern" to launder their perverse obsession with what men do behind a computer screen.

Oh my...

The National Crime Agency has called for more prison sentences, warning that up to 830,000 adults in the UK, 1.6% of the population, pose a threat to children.

Are they seriously calling for jailing close to a million people? That does appear to be where countries such as the UK and Australia are heading... The trend seems to be the pathologization of normal male sexuality, including its inherently visual nature.

Mark was convicted of possessing images in categories A, B and C. The worst of these, A, involves the penetration of children under 18.

Penetration of a 17-year-old? How abhorrent! No child of such tender age would ever willingly engage in such repulsive and abusive acts.

A third of respondents admitted that sexual interest in children was a key reason why they searched for child sexual abuse material. Nearly two-thirds reported a sexual interest in under-18s – mostly teens between 15 and 17.

Sigh. As I said: normal male sexuality (ephebophilia in this case) is now characterized as pathological ("paedophilia").

In this ludicrous context, a "child being abused" might actually be a horny 16-year-old teen recording herself masturbating.

"I was addicted to porn and I went down a road of being totally desensitised as I got further and further from what was normal."

That's the usual narrative. It's also complete nonsense, just as suggesting that someone will start looking at gay porn once they get "bored" of heterosexual porn. All that porn actually does is provide a convenient means to discover one's preferences in exhaustive detail.

Meanwhile, on the casual-feminist subreddit r/FemaleDatingStrategy, the official stance is that men who look at porn are literally brain-damaged assholes.

When he was made to write a letter to his 16 and 17 year old "victims", I assume these were "notional victims" as part of an SOTP remorse-building exercise and not the actual girls on these various Russian barely legal clearweb TGP and fap tube sites that triggered the IWF's moron alarm?

God, I'm tired of sex-negative people.

Written like someone who lacks any first hand experience of sexuality. Maybe only people who use porn should opine on porn? It's about as out of touch as thinking because a person has smoked weed, they'll end up taking heroin. If you're disgusted or frightened by sex, just admit it, and stop pretending this is a moral issue.

It's OK to be sex repulsed, it's not OK to try to shame people who aren't.
