[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1182927, member: 4258"] If you want to shut down sites because you claim they're bad for people, then you just set the precedent for feminists to close this forum. I can guarantee you that in a court of law (or public opinion) the RVF's alleged "hatred of women" and "misogyny" would anger a lot more people than thoughts of guys jerking off. They'd claim we're bad for women and younger men who we could influence. This is the United States where we can to have stupid ideas and we get to do things that are bad for us. I'd also argue that Internet porn isn't bad at all, since several outlets (including the [url=http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/everyday_economics/2006/10/how_the_web_prevents_rape.html]liberal Slate[/url]) have linked the rise in online porn to the plummeting sexual assault numbers. I'm old enough to remember the pre-online-porn '80s, when your girlfriend getting raped was a real worry. I'd prefer not to have to worry about that again, and would rather have future criminals rubbing one out and then going to sleep instead of stalking parking garages and the like. As with #metoo, the removal of online porn would create a lot of unintended consequences and I don't think they'll be good. Online porn, by the way, has been a thing long before we had a soyboy culture. Blame the schools and the media for that one. [/QUOTE]
