This might cause a struggle but: Calling people prudes for not wanting to sexualise themselves is bad (hexbear.net)

"We need to sex up your wardrobe. What do you mean you're not comfortable wearing that? Oh honey, don't be such a prude, all the girls are doing it and you want to be successful don't you? No one's going to watch someone that dresses like their grandma."

I get sick and tired of so called leftists equating exploitation to sexual liberation.

yeah

completely reasonable and justifiable to point this out and while maybe you cant definitively say porn causes these things the propagation and normalization of these trends I do think is harmful and reinforcing, particularly in cultural narratives and attitudes around sex and SV. Why is that even a debate, this is a Citations Needed/Michael Parenti fan webzone

and acting like people are evangelical freaks for being concerned about the normalization of hardcore sexual acts through porn makes me s upset

same and also why let the evangelicals be the only voice in the room on problematic porn use which is very obviously a thing (even if you disagree with the label of addiction)? And I think that extends beyond the content of porn itself, and requires a very explicit marxist and materialist lens to be analyzed properly, since imo it applies more broadly to modern content delivery and our relationship to the internet in general today.

I think part of this too is some of the language and narratives (ESPECIALLY pop-psych ones) around addiction and also how we communicate regarding it but thats a different conversation maybe
