TRIGGER WARNING - Porn hub and Ukraine

So Porn hub apparently has a new category ' Ukrainian girls and war rape'

I am beyond appalled. Who the fuck looks at what is happening in Ukraine and thinks ' that's a good wank opportunity.'

I try not to hate men, Lord knows I try, but things like this! Yeah, yeah NAMALT, but men created this, for men. NAM, but only men.

I can’t put into words how utterly sickening but unfortunately predictable this is.

[Whatwouldscullydo]

Kinda kills the argument that women choose to do sex work or porn doesn't it. The whole happy hooker myth.

I mean if plenty of women are consensually participating in.porn why would they need to exploit Ukrainian women?

[aweegc]

I saw this yesterday too and am fucking disgusted. But not even a little bit surprised.

Pornhub has blocked itself in Russia I noticed, but that's clearly only not to be boycotted by the rest of the world.

Pornhub has a new category: “Ukrainian girls and war rape videos”; it is dominated by Russian soldiers documenting disgustingly brutal crimes

I hope this is not true. Has anyone managed to verify it? I’m afraid I can’t bring myself to look.

There's an explanation for this, primarily used in describing prostitution. There's "sex work" which is all fun and games and a career full of thrills and job satisfaction and then there's "forced sex work" which is when someone isn't doing it out of choice. Goes for porn too.

And then there's the argument - sorry, feeling a bit 🤢 at all this - that "At least there's the option of porn/prostitution for them to make money, what would they do without that option? Who are you to remove it from them? Who are you to say it's not their own choice?"
(Obviously they'd say "sex work" not prostitution there, because it's her choice...).

And all the while, vulnerable women and girls are exploited and men are fapping to or f*cking their bodies.

Thanks @22022022MummaMEwarrior

I desperately hope it is wrong, although I’m in no doubt that women are being raped or that there are some sick fuckers who would enjoy watching it.

I'm not looking. Last time someone on here said that porn hub does not have violent porn I googled it to get lots of hits of links to porn hub for videos under categories like ' aggressive, cruel sex' and 'violently porn'
which says everything you need to know about their attitude to women.

[LizDoingTheCanCan]

It's a Julie Bindel article, she's well known for posting lies to create upset.

I've looked on pornhub and the category does not exist. Please don't rely on the likes of Bindel, check the facts yourself.

Some people have different kinks

I wouldn't call watching 'aggressive cruel sex' or ' violently porn' a kink so much as enjoying watching women being abused or tortured. I think its important not to hide what is really going on under innocuous sounding labels.

I think its important not to hide what is really going on under innocuous sounding labels.

It is also important to make sure what you post is true. It is simply a lie to say PornHub has added this category.

[FairWindClearSailing]

There is nothing on there under this. You should verify statements such as these before posting 🙄

[ToiletPoster]

I had a look and can't find that cetegory. It wouldn't really make sense with their policy of verified "models".
I have no doubt those videos are made and are somewhere, just nowhere mainstream.

The category doesn't exists and when I was googling to go check myself full fact and snipes also say it's not true that pornhub has blocked itself being accessed from Russia either.

[Snoozer11]

Why would she make something like this up? All it does is remove her credibility.

I'm fucking fed up with journalists talking shit.

[Lockheart]

I think JB needs to explain where she's seen this. I just checked PH categories and there's nothing for "Ukrainian", "war", or "rape".

It wouldn't surprise me if people were making porn based on that (people made covid-porn FGS - people doing it in hazmat suits!) but I can't see this category she's talking about.

I'm fucking fed up with journalists talking shit

Slightly off topic, but I’ve noticed a surprising amount of Ukrainian/Western propaganda recently. It makes me really angry, because it’s not like there aren’t enough bloody actual atrocities in Ukraine to be reporting on at the moment. It seems to be a mix of SJWs on social media literally making stuff up for clicks and lazy reporting. The problem is, far from rallying support, it is easily disproved and ends up being used to give weight to Putin’s crazy claims that there is no war.

Like NopeNoNope I have found the excellent Full Fact very useful.

Rant over!

Its not there OP

I suggest you verify your sources before posting

I did a quick search. Not only is it not true but even searching for the term brought up a big print warning:

The recording and/or distribution of NCII is a crime in the UK as well as in many other jurisdictions.
