I am not sure who the western puritans are (maybe republicans), since I do not think America bans pornography (outside of egregiously illegal examples that I do not need to list here); boasting about consuming that material is weird regardless.
Quite right. What's wrong with weird?
The western puritans are a large group of internet-goers who police sexual expression and thought and go to absolutely absurd lengths to expose, harass, or dox people who have them. People on Rednote compared them to colonialists.
There is nothing wrong with being weird, but bragging about consumption of that adult material is not really something I understand; why would you do it?
Oh, those people sound annoying. I get not wanting to have pornography be legal, but harassing people is not a way of fighting patriarchy (and I doubt they are the type to even care about patriarchy anyways).
Why? In response to the aforementioned westerners. "We can consume what you hate and you gringos can't stop us" kind of stuff.
"Consumption" is another strange term to me, one that underestimate how accessible porn is. It doesn't get consumed. 1,000 people can view the same porn 1,000 times and copy and distribute it endlessly. It doesn't get used up like a drug.
