I grew up in an oppressive religious atmosphere that viewed deviant sexuality as harmful. It would 'corrupt my soul', it would emotionally drain me, it would make me a vacant-eyed wreck. But no, it fucking didn't. They were wrong, I was fine. And they still don't believe me.

I'm mad at every person who irresponsibly talked about how porn is damaging, how we need to protect kids, without also reminding us that we have a duty to protect the rights and freedoms of consenting adults to behave how they wish.

These people just can't imagine that maybe human beings can *be different from them*. They think hey, I'd feel horrible if I engaged in sex work, so other people must feel horrible too! Such an egregious typical mind fallacy.

No, me and many other people like me *are different from you*. We have different relationships to sex, actually, genuinely, and our sex work feels good and vibrant and healthy. We're not in denial, we're not a threat, we're just different from you, why can't you understand that?

:( Is it really moralistic pressure though? I've been reading it as payment companies being nervous of prosecution over the *risk* of trafficking etc, combined with OF being kinda cowardly and unprepared to moderate their content at the scale they've quickly grown to?

Anti-porn activists know that message doesn't resonate more broadly, so they wrap it up as sex trafficking & CSAM. The strategy is to raise the operating costs of adult sites significantly by making them prove that every piece of content uploaded is legal in real time.

This is unnecessarily hostile. When something major impacts someone, it seems normal for them to talk about how it impacts them. She's not quote-tweeting a cancer charity and saying that actually, her suffering is worse.

I mean you could do something that adds actual palpable value to the world

You don’t decide what adds value to the world. Markets decide. The financials of OF and its creators speak for themself. Like it or not, there is MASSIVE value in this corner of the market.
