I also regret we don't get similar outrage when we post links to horror movies, Game of Thrones, or violent video games. I can't watch any of that stuff (literally makes me ill), but as a society we seem absolutely okay with it. (I don't in any way mean to equate any of those things with porn, but I do think many of our cultures are way more accepting of violence than they are of sex.)
I'm not saying we wouldn't cover Game of Thrones or violent games or whatever ? we do even though I personally don't like them ? but I do kinda regret we don't get blasted for that too.
I can't stand how much violence there is in our entertainment media. It desensitizes people especially kids to violence.
However it is all over the place so it is hard to shield your kids from it, although it can be done with a lot of effort.
As for porn, the internet porn that is out there is by and large not about sex between equals. A quick search of the word "porn" will show you that much of the heterosexual porn out there is about degrading women, with sex being the tool that is used. Many of the porn actresses in this country have drug habits they are funding by the money they make in porn. Many of them have mental illnesses or have been sexually abused. And in countries with struggling economies and political systems, some of the women are doing this under the threat of force from their husbands or boyfriends so that they can take the cash. In third world countries some of the women are literally held as sex slaves. And just because a woman appears on camera as if she is voluntarily there doesn't mean she is.
Then there is the whole disturbing aspect of advertising the young adult women as teens, which they technically are at 18 and 19, but the point of the advertising is to focus on how young they are, which some viewers find more sexually gratifying obviously. Then there is the issue of referring to the women in the porn as sluts and whores getting blanked, etc. That is very common in the porn industry.
I am definitely not for government censorship, but I am for government protection of the sex workers, god knows how many of them aren't in these films voluntarily or are not of sound mind or are drug addicted. Many of these young women aren't thinking about how the internet is forever and these videos of them will last online well after they have gotten out of the industry. They are paid very little and being exploited. They are so young, they don't have the wisdom or maturity to realize that until it is too late.
