    Isn’t the issue the exploitation of sex workers, mostly women? Like if you’ve found ethical porn, by all means wack your shit to it. I just think the things people are able to explore with writing, or hell even animation if the artists aren’t exploited, are much more varied and interesting without exploiting actors. Like I’ve found a few queer porn projects that are like owned by the actors and stuff. Basically porn coops, which is fucking awesome.

        I wouldn’t call it perverted because I think that word has been stigmatized and weaponized to shame people, but I do in fact shop for video games based on which studios seem to treat their workers the fairest.

          My point is that if you want to shame people because of exploitation you should shame most video game players just like the viewers of exploitative porn. Anything else is just an excuse to be a regressive prude.

            Okay sure, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. So yeah, feel shame for consuming all media, ethical or not. /s

            Is that the broad statement you want me to say to avoid being picked apart because it’s “technically correct” which is the only type of correct I need to be to “win” this would be discussion turned argument?

            Killer “gotcha” moment bud 🤣

            If someone buys a game they know exploits workers, or is destroying the world by participating in the AI bubble, and feels shame for doing it, that’s between them and their conscience. Shame is an incredible motivator, particularly for social and political issues. There’s a reason it gets shouted at protests and at political figures. All I said was shaming people for being interested in sexually explicit content is bad. I did not say all shame is bad.

            I could go on, but OH! Would you look at that. It’s block o’clock! Lovely chatting with you while it lasted.
