you ever heard of media influencing people? there was a guy who was a high up from google talking about how their advertisements are known to influence people. like how if you see an ad for a certain thing over and over, you are more likely to agree with that thing. and not just buy a product. political influence, social justice influence, etc. put an idea into someones head over and over and they are more likely to agree with that idea. music is a great example. music is liked more often because it is familiar. pop songs include small bits that are extremely common, as far as quick vocal pitch changes, literally last 1 second or 2 seconds, but because of those small additions, 15 million people in the us buy that album. its engineered to do exactly that. hear something over and over, you like it. ever heard a song for the first time and thought wtf is this bullshit? then heard it for the 15th time and cant get it out of your head? the ultimate solution is that the people who are attracted to this sort of thing don't exist. but since that is not a reasonable solution, the better option is to not put this into their head over and over until even people who are not interested in this originally are now seeing this as familiar and thinking why not me as well. also you used the mention of the increased use of porn decreasing the number of rapes, but violent crime rates in north America are actually decreasing and have been, overall, but the only outlier is sexual assault which has been increasing for about 8 years. either way, I don't have a solution to figure it out other than not to attempt to indoctrinate more people to this way of thinking. according to morgan freeman, how do you stop racism? stop talking about it. producing more of this child rapery doesn't seem like its making things better. I might have had to much to drink to make this argument very coherently, but the general idea is that the more familiar something is, the more acceptable it is, and the more acceptable it is, the more likely it is to happen. disagree if you want, but in every single other aspect of the media, this is the truth. tv. movies. music. news. politics. etc. companies literally rely on this to make profits. why should porn be the outlier?
