Advert for porn hub on BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat

Ok, I jest. But did anyone catch the segment on Newsbeat just now?
In summary:
- Played Pornhub theme (?) and joked that “that’s the Pornhub intro music - but you probably already knew that”
- 50% of adults watched Pornhub during lockdown
- Interviewed a man who has made money selling porn videos on OnlyFans
Unclear what the point of the segment was. No social commentary. Just normalising porn and suggesting there’s a massive audience if you fancy getting into it.
?!?

but there is a massive audience for it and if someone wants to get into it, why not let them? better to be working in front of a camera at home than on the street...
the issue isnt with porn being normalised...its the type of porn.. porn with women in control of their own body and what they do with it is healthy and safe

They've got a plug for Only Fans on the website too. Apparently lockdown was a good time to start making content

Hannah thinks there's still a way to go in removing the stigma of watching porn for everyone, whether single or in a relationship.
I honestly have no words.

I just cannot get my head around the fact that the BBC is publishing was is effectively a pro-porn article simultaneous to reporting that OFSTED have found that porn use is one of the contributory factors to almost all female children being subject sexual harassment.

BBC Newsbeat at it again - Onlyfans again this time. Someone at Newsbeat is very keen on this sort of thing, clearly.
