No they don't affect society at large, that's a lie

Of course it does

I wouldn’t say a lie

It does not

The evidence is all around you

Disagreement in opinion rather

Prove to me that my private internet porn consumption affects society at large

What was considered the norm 15 years ago (disgust of faggots) will now be considered homophobia

Since it has been legalized and promoted by society

What

You're conflating two arguments

Porn has a lot of psychological effects on people and its mass sale has even more negative effects

I disagree

Prove me wrong

I can gather studies later on this topic

Tell me what the key argument of those studies is

Oh the effects of pornography on the psyche

Pornography has no negative effect on the psyche

But on the second point of mass consumption of porn, it has led to the proliferation of degeneracy in the masses

Prove the link between that

And that is more problematic

How is my porn consumption linked to displays of BDSM on the streets?

I'd say one major impact it has is the objectification of women

Well I have to disagree but I’ll have to look for studies to find out. But here is a heads up; don’t bother with abstracts, scientists will say shit in abstracts then when you look at the data it contradicts them

@snake very correct

I've learned a lot about statistical fallacies, I can spot them from a mile away

Because it’s like this, my study says pedophilia is good (THIS IS JUST a hypothetical to show case my point) I won’t put that shit in my abstract because it’s very taboo

Correct, there is research proving positive effects of child sex with adults

Lmao ok stop baiting

I'm not baiting

This is real

@snake That's a phenomena known as Regime Flavor (coined by Alt Hype)

Yep the authoritarian view of knowledge etc

You can bend almost any research in favor of any argument if you only try hard enough

Especially in less researched fields

Oh that, ok I see your point

Academia is filled with bogus science

Basically, the scientists will try to go into analysis paralysis regarding dangerous topics like Race and IQ, just to appease the dominant view

Well I don’t want to get into a statistical debate about the effects of porn

I’ll be honest I’m not good with statistics sadly
