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:

Make a list of the countries that most stringently ban porn, with the harshest penalties.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Do you think it is likely that Maegor was presented a young dragon at some point, almost to the point of full-bonding, only to scorn it for Balerion in the end? If so, which one could it have been?

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?

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

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.

I refuse to date any women that are social media influencers, content creators, TikTok celebrities, and use Only fans. Would this be seen as normal, or would I be going too far? Why?

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

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.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

…criminals.

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.

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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).”

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

That’s not a coincidence.

Why do I (45, male) feel like I'm crushing on a girl (19, female)?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

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

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.

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.

What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?

Say by creating an environment where people do the thing voluntarily, et voila.
