There is nothing more obviously hypocritical and a phony set-up job than the traditional pseudo-liberal response to someone objecting to pornography. If you have not looked at it, you are condemned as criticizing something you haven't looked at, if you have looked at it you are called a hypocrite because you've looked at porn and are assumed to be a consumer of it. It's a set up job which has the effect of inoculating pornography from any criticism, of creating a situation in which no criticism of it is permitted.
If someone criticizes Donald Trump on the basis of having heard what he says, no one is going to accuse you of agreeing with him because you listened to him and are informed about the content of his speech. In fact, it's considered a fair attack to use the content he spewed because you don't rely on what someone else represented that as being, you know first hand what he said. But if you do the same with porn the irrational, habitual recitation - instilled by decades of messaging in the movies and the media and its hired legal team - is that because you've looked at it that means you are prohibited from talking about what you've seen and read because you looked at it and know what it contains. So, you can't criticize porn if you haven't looked at it and once you've looked at it you can't criticize it, either. It's a well known form of dishonest argument called "heads I win, tails you lose". Just as an aside, it's pretty much what much of pseudo-skeptical argument is based on, as well.
Well, I have looked at a lot of porn because it is first and foremost in the business of promoting inequality, hatred, degradation and torture of people and the deaths of people and animals as sexual gratification, easily more than 95% of that the gratification and domination of men over women, children and men presented as weaker than those dominating them. I've looked at it long enough to know that it has grown steadily worse, forms of abuse and degradation that were either absent or very rare have become commonplace as pornographers find that men habituated to their previous level of that need to have it kicked up a notch.
Just as an example, in one area of porn that grotesque hypocrisy of the pseudo-liberal, pro-porn position is absolutely clear. The current fashion of alleged liberals is that no hate talk about LGBT people is to be permitted, to even skirt the practice of degrading or stereotyping LGBT people is to be hectored and blog-mobbed into silence. And, you know, I'm actually OK with that. I'm totally against the toleration of hate speech in society and think we'd all be a lot better off if all of it was suppressed.
BUT when even entirely worse hate speech against LGBT people is done in the context of sexual arousal, in porn, the same people who would jump down someones' throat if what they said could be remotely construed or distorted into an attack against LGBT people, are 100000% OK with it and they will go to any length to protect that presentation of the most vicious hatred because, you know, "free-speech". Though what I think it really boils down to is that the condemnation of porn has been made a cultural marker for Biblical fundamentalism, especially associated with Southerners and Mid-Westerners and their presumed inferiority to secularists who have been to college (as in fact many Southern and Mid-Western Fundamentalists have) by secularists who love nothing, including the values of real liberalism and the intended beneficiaries of those, none of those is as dear to such self-defined "leftists" as their own belief in their own superiority. Which, come to think of it, isn't entirely removed from the dominance-submission theme of porn.
I will speak only for myself as a gay man who is an equality absolutist and say that gay porn is the primary venue for promoting the hatred of gay men in the world today. Both in quantity, virulence and in the context in which it is consumed, hatred of gay men and, especially, hatred of gay boys in porn is far worse than that spouted by hate-talking religious figures and politicians. It is designed to promote and exploit psychological damage induced by hate and bigotry within us.
Several years ago I pointed that out concerning the posting of Russian neo-Nazis who lured gay men by ads for hook ups and who attacked, beat and humiliated men and boys who answered the ads, filmed and photographed their attacks on them and posted the results in online media. The content of those, the physical attacks, the humiliation, the violence, the messages of, hate are exactly the same content as found in a huge percentage of online gay porn. Only with gay porn, it is sold as sexually desireable for men to imagine themselves in either the role of the dominator and abuser or as the "fag" to be used by an "alpha male" or a "daddy" or some other man who will hate them and use them.
Here are some of the milder texts you will find with a simple web search, the kind you could easily see while searching for something entirely unrelated to porn. I won't post the photos, gifs and videos that involve real degradation, humiliation, hatred and general abuse, bullying and the promotion of negative stereotypes of real people. That would merely make me an accomplice in that.
"A collection of shit that turns me on involving the humiliation of faggots in the service of alpha males."
"There are two types of men; Alpha Men, who take what they want and are excused of crude behavior simply because They're the Big Men, then there are faggots, (who may or may not actually be gay men) who are more often than not the effeminate men, as they are usually just Alphas bravely living their life against diversity, who will knowingly bend to Their every Masculine whim, no matter how crude, cruel, humiliating, or pathetic, simply because they are there for the express purpose of making the Better, Stronger (and often bigger-dicked), Dominant Male's life better in every way they can with their faggot obedience.
This is just a collection of Alpha Guys doing their natural things."
"Even though I'm way younger than you, it is clear that I'm way more superior than you ever have been or ever will become. I like to talk to other alphas too."
Slapping, spitting on, spitting in the mouth of, urinating on, being made to drink urine, beating, punching, violently forcing submission, binding, torturing, choking (seriously), raping, maiming, usually smaller, younger boys ,.... all of those are depicted as sexually satisfying on such websites, generally older, bigger men and boys - almost all of them white - doing that to younger, smaller ones, not infrequently darker skinned or members of racial or ethnic minorities. Many of the "models assumed to be 18 or older" are obviously boys who could easily be found in 3rd world countries, many of them South-East Asian.
And there is open peddling of photos and films of men raping what are almost certainly underage boys, much of it with captions and narratives of incest or coaches, teachers, other men in authority raping underage boys.
"Coach disciplining a player."
"Uncle Mike is teaching me how to rub my glans and cum after my circumcision operation."
"taking it for Daddy like a good boy"
"My little brother has a G spot in his ass, so it really is just like a pussy."
I'd love to hear the folks who were all in a rage over what Josh Dugger did last year explain why that's A-OK.
Oh, and did I point out that such "gay" porn also promotes some of the most overt misogyny you will find outside of straight porn.
"This is evolution at work, it is obvious that our dicks are useless and that our cunts are for the use of real Males."
If you throw appropriate search terms into the mix you will find a lot of this porn also promotes neo-Nazism, skinheads, the American swastika aka, the Confederate Flag and overt white supremacy as sexually arousing. No, I don't link to neo-Nazi content. I have noticed an increase in that over the past several years along with an increase in violence and the depravity of the degradation.
And, remember, in the inverted morality of pseudo-liberalism, when those things are done in the name of sexual arousal and satisfaction, that sanctifies them and makes them into some kind of act worthy of legal protection if not a positive value. We practice child temple prostitution now, only its in the temple of secularism and constitutionalism that its done.
Everything that can be said about the content of gay porn will be found in straight porn, with the adjustments made to appeal to the men who want that content. If anything the misogyny that is ubiquitous in gay porn is a dim reflection of the content of straight porn. That "feminists" in such large numbers have been intimidated into passively accepting or even promoting the pornographers' interests by the "free speech" slogans the porn-industry peddled and the porn-industry invented "sex-pos" ruse is one of the most depressing parts of current "leftist" activity.
Many of these porn sites carry links where you can find boys marketed to men who, no doubt, want to do what they've seen in the porn. The distinction made between porn and the trafficking of peoples' bodies for actual sex is a total lie, the two things are just arms of the same industry. That the profits of both suffer from "amateurs" getting into it doesn't make the most destructive part of it any less bad. I'd say it's a sign that they have infected the wider culture with the worst of all sexually transmitted diseases, acquiescence to your own victimization. Steve Biko said that the strongest weapon which the racist oppressor has is the mind of the oppressed, that oppression is what porn sells to its victims, the use of that damaged mind is also taught to those who want to take advantage of it.
If it were my choice, none of it would be available online or published. Its only use would be to track down sex traffickers and the men who pay them to use people. Anyone who would want that done to them needs intensive treatment if not protection from the internalized hatred which is also sold by porn. Victimizers need victims, usually more than one each, the users will be almost all men, their victims can be anyone who can be victimized and victims get used up and discarded so new ones need to be found.
