Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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?

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.

Why do some people enjoy being dominated?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Have you or anyone you know invested in cryptocurrencies before? If so, which one did you invest in and how much profit did you make?

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.

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

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.

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

That’s not a coincidence.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

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.

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).”

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

Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?

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

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

…criminals.

Short story writers, what is your favorite character you've created and do they appear in more than one of your works?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.
