Although I think porn is bad, porn games are already pretty far down the rabbit hole. Considering how much easier it is to just watch porn (which is its own issue), if you're going out of your way to play porn games, the damage is already done.
I'd be inclined to agree if the relations between the sexes were functional. As it stands ugly dudes do less damage to themselves playing porn games than allowing themselves to be put on the business end of a divorce rape.
I'm saying, whether you think porn is bad or not, porn games are further down the road than porn videos. The latter is much more accessible, so people probably start there. People aren't playing porn games and destroying themselves. Because (again, based on perspective), those people already probably overexposed themselves to standard porn.
Porn games are not the gateway, is my point.
If you ask someone how they got into porn, I'm guessing about zero percent would say "porn games."
Yeah, that's fair. I guess I just have a bit of a hair trigger for the anti-porn crowd missing the forest for the trees. They're not wrong, they're just a bit too focused a problem that's downstream from the real issue.
I'm not sure I'd lump myself into the anti-porn crowd, per se.
I acknowledge the dangers, I don't think it's a good thing, and I think the super pro-porn crowd are insane and broken people, but I've always defended it nonetheless, because I think the alternative - censorship and government interventionism - is a slippery slope to much worse things.
I don't like porn, but I think the issue is best addressed by discussion, not legislation, and I will always oppose criminalizing it. Just like I don't like the pro-porn crowd, I think the anti-porn crowd are retarded fanatics, who are on a very thin line to making things ever worse. This is one of those issues I'm somewhere in the middle on, and find myself arguing with both sides.
