Just an open question since we keep getting situations like this where the industry effectively admits it is incapable and unwilling to act to stop the worst elements of the industry (child exploitation, human trafficking, forced involvement, rape etc) that it's probably best to just ban the industry together.
Notice though I said using real people, with AI slowly getting better and CGI improving, why do we need real people to make porn? Just have something animated to be realistic enough as I don't give a fuck about pixels or a drawing. Have whatever kink you want, have entire porn snuff films whatever as no REAL people are getting harmed in the making if it. The worst that can happen is stressed artists trying to meet deadlines.
This might also affect adult streamers which is just a bonus as it'll be like a re-run of Projekt Melody when she became more popular since she did more than just strip and stare blankly at the camera till donations came in. A lot of porn or porn in all but name streaming (which I include Twitch on that) get money off just simply being pretty and that's it, denying that as an easy route will probably cause a shift in a lot of media.
I wouldn't advocate a FULL ban as no matter your feeling on it generally, it is a release so going full puritan invites a backlash and probably just forces more men to deal with insufferable feminist women. But just making that release fully fictional based than support an industry that sweeps horrific practices under the rug for money is probably for the best.
I feel like simping for pornstars and OF is a result of something else with porn being the symptom not necessarily the cause. That's a piece of the woke code that no one's really cracked the solution to just yet. I'm fairly confident it will happen though in spite of the spergy flailing from the right.
Edit: By the way, in regards to minors accessing porn, I am firmly on the side of "Stop being bad parents" every damn time I see these parents bitching about this sort of thing it's clear they're absentee parents even if they're technically in the household and they're simply sitting their children in front of screens unsupervised and I write this as somebody who loves tech. The reason I think this way as well is because being a game dev I see this shit from parents with regards to video games and it is always a question of "Okay, where the fuck were you?".
Porn, games, alcohol, facebook, reddit -- all these are the same problem.
That problem is that we have too much time on our hands (so to speak). When you're gainfully employed especially doing something you actually like then you don't do these things, or only occasionally in moderation.
Probably why empires fall, affluence leading to navel gazing.
Something guaranteed to solve all these problems overnight? If hostile aliens showed up, say a single ship that we end up having to blow up with a nuke. You wouldn't be porning for decades, you'd be studying physics and getting a job at energy weapons research even if it's just being a janitor there.
Aliens won't save us, but people say religion gives them a purpose like that.
What if they're hot aliens though? :P
Then snu snu.
Seriously though I was thinking about this because I'm a nerd like that but if aliens ever wanted to invade us all they'd need to do is send a bunch of hot tradgirl aliens who are genuinely loyal partners and they'd have the majority of the male population willingly stab humanity in the back in seconds. The reeing from western women is bad enough when it comes to foreign girls taking 'their' men but it would be even more hilarious seeing alien women doing it too.
We are running down an endless cycle of fetishistic refinement that constantly makes sexual connection more tailored and more available. This commodification of sexuality is arguably responsible for fueling feminism - not starting it, but accelerating it. Even if women were traditional and not retarded, we would still have a massive pr0n problem.
I'm philosophically libertarian but the "it's up to the parents" argument is where I part ways with you. The libertine experiment has proved that too many parents don't give a shit what happens to their kids, and society will go to hell in a handbasket because of them. It's not acceptable for anyone with the ability to take responsibility to shrug their shoulders at our youth being corrupted and say "Heh, all these loser men and evil women must have bad parents. Oh well!"
On the other hand if you don't think minors accessing porn harms society, then I don't see why minors shouldn't access porn. It would indeed be up to the parents. Like some parents don't let their kids drink soda or stay up late and some do.
