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

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.

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.

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

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!

I did a quick search. Not only is it not true but even searching for the term brought up a big print warning:
Your search could be for illegal or abusive sexual material, including non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) or image-based sexual abuse (IBSA).
The recording and/or distribution of NCII is a crime in the UK as well as in many other jurisdictions.
Actual or staged depictions of coerced or non-consensual sexual acts or the use of a person's likeness without their consent is not permitted on our site. We take image-based sexual abuse and non-consensual intimate imagery very seriously. For more information about our policies related to NCII and IBSA, please visit our Trust & Safety Centre.
