Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

…criminals.

How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?

Finally, “oh wow I want to protect the wimmens all the poor poor wimmens” ah HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no you heckin’ don’t.

When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?

That’s not a coincidence.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

Criminals who won’t hesitate to traffic people, if it makes them money. The way you solve the problem is to remove the financial incentive to traffic people.

If you ask anti-porn crusaders why porn should be banned, you will usually get three answers: “My preacher says the invisible god I worship says it’s wrong,” “sex is icky yucky ick ick ick unless it happens between people I say it should happen between, in situations I say it should happen in,” and “lookit all the women who are hurt by porn, I totally care about saving women (but not respecting their autonomy, offering them paid maternity leave, or, you know, doing any of those other things that would materially improve women’s lives).”

Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.

What your preacher says isn’t worth a wet fart through used toilet paper. Your preacher might say it’s a sin to eat pork or have sex on Sunday or cut your hair in certain ways or whatever, but that doesn’t make it the law of the land.

But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

And what you personally consider icky has even less bearing on what is or is not illegal. You think porn sex is icky? Fine, you do you, bruh.
