Because women are routinely not believed when they talk about the sexual violence against them, how long did it take Harvey Weinstein to get taken down?
Because the police and the prosecution services get to decide which crimes are worth taking seriously, which women are worth listening to.
Because women in the sex industry are seen as sub-human; US police came up with the acronym NHI, âNo Humans Involvedâ, to describe the murder of a prostitute or stripper.
The fact that these women do not routinely have a literal gun to their head when they step onto a porn set, that they have to record a fake positive âexit interviewâ before they get paid, means they are very unlikely to be taken seriously if they do go to the police.
Because the men in the porn industry are more powerful and important than the women, look at James Deen whoâs back in the industry after rape allegations against him, or Ron Jeremy, who had a decades long career before his abuse caught up with him.
Because a women canât risk complaining if she wants to âworkâ in the sex industry again (economic desperation).
Becaue most porn is not filmed in a studio, anyone with recording technology is now a pornographer.
Because a recording of a rape now makes the victim less believable, not more; it looks like porn and porn is great, so it canât be rape.
I canât believe you are doubling-down on this, it is completely obvious that you do not give a shit about abuse in the sex industry, and your burger analogy doesnât work, because no fast food consumer actually wants to buy contaminated food, but men, men like you, want their rape porn.
Itâs also really dishonest that you are not replying directly to me (again), so I will copy and paste my last reply (again):
âI will not prove anything.â Dude, this is pathetic, you are just making excuses to ignore all the evidence when you have no counter evidence beyond âI donât like itâ! I cite all my sources, they are copied from mainstream news sites, or directly from accounts made by porn performers themselves, thatâs not âbiasâ thatâs copy+paste. You say you care, but you very obviously donât, if you really cared, if you really wanted to be an âethical porn consumerâ, you would do your own research, but you wonât, because you want your porn.
I have never said âall porn is rapeâ, but the levels of abuse are so high that the âgoodâ porn is a rarity (the owner of âmake love not pornâ boasts about having 4000 visitors a day under lock-down, thatâs nothing compared to sites like Pornhub, there is no demand for âbetterâ porn). Also the coercion of poverty, the demand for more and more extreme images (because porn is addictive), and the general nature of capitalism, will always push standards down. Do you honestly believe that the women appearing in sado-masochistic porn are there because they love it, or there because they need the money? Performers in the LA based porn industry only last one or two films as âfresh facesâ then they start being offered BDSM shoots.
The porn industry is poorly regulated, or not regulated at all, with the âFree Speech Coalitionâ the lobby group for US pornographers fighting against regulation, including against compulsory condom use, and against proper record keeping for the age of performers.
Any rapist with a camera phone is a pornographer, pornography made in Eastern Europe, Russia, the global south, there are no regulations, no protections, and with sites like Pornhub, which has been shown again and again to host child abuse images, recordings of real rape, and revenge porn, you have no idea where the porn came from, or how it was made.
