Pornhub profit from trafficking of women and girls.

[SmileEachDay]

I’m increasingly frustrated with attitudes to porn on MN - there seem to be 2 main ways people justify it:

1. The liberal feminism defence: “It’s empowering, women are allowed bodily autonomy.

2. I enjoy it, it’s all consensual.

This is obviously bullshit. If you watch porn on a mainstream platform it is very likely that the woman you are watching has been directly trafficked and is being raped. If she hasn’t been, the woman or girl in the next clip may have been. You’re getting your rocks off to the filmed abuse of women and girls.

And that’s before we even start looking at how the commodification of women affects us more generally.

Please read this - it’s really eye opening

I think peppa it needs to get more and more extreme for users to get off - a poster up thread likened it to addiction. The old "ooooh, the plumbers here" saucy housewife vids of old probably don't hit the spot anymore.

Spot on tellme

This explain it and links to the research behind the claims

Good article about the effects of porn use particularly the barely legal stuff.

Although I have to say being harassed as a teen is nothing new.

This thread lists many real examples of Pornhub profiting from the rape,, abuse and exploitation of women and girls.

Twitter thread here

God, some of the info on that thread. I don't know how anyone who works for that site can go home and look their family in the eyes knowing damn well what sort of content they happily supply. And that much of the videos earn their "creator" money.

I don't give a shit how judgey I sound here but anyone who uses that site needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

To me if there's a chance any girl or woman is being harmed in the making of mine/DHs orgasm, I'll find another way. Jeez it's not difficult.

This is exactly how I feel. I don't really get people not feeling this way tbh.

I’ve reported the post with the thread and asked if MN might consider a campaign that supports #traffickinghub

@vikingwife

I also notice I was actually engaging with your argument & you didn’t even bother to reply, so it suggests you actually can’t handle it when a woman has a different opinion to you.

Like you can’t actually fathom that someone could watch ports but also simultaneously want to advocate for women’s rights. You’re so argumentative, you get people offside.

A true leader inspires people to create change. You’re just a bully who is patronising people & doesn’t understand anything about the mainstream porn industry

You completely dismissed me when I said there are huge female owned production companies like Evil Angel & Jules Jordan - so yes, we are not stupid, we can decipher porn which is consensual & we know our favourite porn stars are consenting, smart & savvy business women.

Not everyone is looking up “bitch slapping teen rape” are they, no. You are so in your bubble you can’t comprehend anybody who thinks differently to you & say we are no better than a rapist.

You’re not inspiring or encouraging anyone here. The people who hate porn are your echo chamber & you have yet to show me any argument that suggests you can even acknowledge that many big pornstars are consenting women.

Do you really think Sasha Grey wasn’t consenting? Do you?

Sasha Grey? You mean this Sasha Grey?

Sasha Greysays she was lured into porn by a violent and abusive ex-BF-- who convinced her he was a military spy who needed her for "cover" ... and now she fears he's come back to hurt her.

Grey claims in new court docs Ian Cinnamon subjected Grey to years of abuse and sexual assaults -- starting in 2005 when she was 16 and he was 29.

Grey claims it was Cinnamon who convinced her to become a porn star, telling her he was a covert agent and she would be the perfect "cover" for him. And get this -- he convinced her he worked for the DIA.
