“Is porn addiction real? Less so than claimed, argues Lisa Hagen in a bombshell report for NPR. In this article, the journalist explores the ‘masturbation abstinence’ and anti-porn addiction movement in the US, finding a landscape filled with pseudoscience, reactionary rhetoric, and shame. “In one study,” Hagen notes, “among people who self-identify as ‘pornography addicts’, the average frequency of porn use was less than ten times a year”.”

…

“Meanwhile, sex acts outside the norm are often configured as things that only exist to hurt and degrade women or pollute their relationships, rather than as things women could possibly be interested in. Several of the women I’ve talked to have spoken about being into kink, and about how alienated they feel by discourse that kink is just a cover for violence against women, rather than something women themselves can desire and instigate.”

…

“The subtextual ‘threat’ behind ‘wrong’ porn gets very queer, very quickly. An interviewee for NPR describes a common set of anxieties on the forums he frequented: ‘‘The common themes were ‘porn is turning me gay’ or ‘porn is making me cross-dress’ or ‘porn is making me want to be dominated’ or ‘porn is making me like transgenders [sic]’.” It’s pretty clear that men are feeling drawn to the taboo thrills of getting topped, gender-play and gay exploration, whether as fantasy or as real possibility; men are also, I noticed, sometimes seeing straight porn and identifying with the woman. This opens up possibilities and anxieties that ‘porn addiction’ forums seek to close off. If you’re thinking about this stuff at all, they say, you have an addiction that is driving you to seek out ‘extreme’ material, and you need help. Reading this as a queer guy felt like hearing the Kill Bill sirens going off: it’s so clear that any erotic charge towards sex workers of any kind, gay men, trans women, or stigmatised forms of sex are seen as polluting ‘proper’ straight life.

If you read through anti-porn forums and programmes as someone who knows what conversion therapy looks like, you will find its tells in abundance. Heavy emphasis on shaming, while also promising that the programme will provide a way out of that shame; advice that new desires might not go away, but can be ignored and managed; unspoken assumptions that monogamous, cisgender, heterosexual, vanilla sex is the sexual ideal; heavy use of pseudoscience; intimations that the reader is being purposely corrupted by the porn industry or a wider, conspiratorial ‘agenda’. UK Rehab’s page on porn addiction advises that “pornography addiction can lead to changes in sexual tastes, desires and practices […] which can cause huge problems for addicts in relationships. The addict may begin to engage in different forms of sexual experience and expression, which may include risky sexual behaviour […] Even in less extreme cases, as mentioned above repeated exposure to hard-core pornography can lead to changed expectations of partners, which can make attaining a “normal” sex life increasingly difficult”. What is ‘normal’ here? What is ‘risky’? What are the ‘tastes’ in question?”

…

“Women, in particular, are taught that men’s excessive sexual desires are the root of cheating and disloyalty and sexual violence (rather than the misogyny that makes men disregard women’s boundaries, for instance), and that they therefore need to surveil and police their partners’ porn use. This is furthered by the assumption that any desire to use porn at all is a marker of unmanageable sexual vice and voraciousness, which you’ll particularly find in evangelical/religious circles.”

The fact that people will argue in court that this problem that, again, doesn’t exist, is responsible for CSA and other sexual violence and not the structure of society and families encouraging and enabling such…

…

“Most people who think they’re addicted to porn aren’t. What they’re addicted to is policing their own genders and sexualities, hoping that if they just do so a little more successfully, all their personal and relational problems will fall away.”

Hello 👋

I won't be making many posts on this situation, but after a few people have reached out, I thought I'd explain some things. these are just some of the messages I've sifted through and have been deleting. this has been going on for weeks - they come in bursts and I turned off my messages, but I wanted to donate to causes sent my way, so I opened them again and after a few days it picked back up.

I can only assume these messages are related to my poke art. Sharing these doodles, these sketches and ideas - that was my escape while my personal life has been so rocky. Maybe it's an unhealthy escape, I don't know. but to be told there is a group of people taking those things and talking amongst themselves and laughing while also pretending to not... My trust has completely been broken if it's true, and I'm at a loss. I'm only vaguely part of two groups through association, so I've narrowed it down, I guess.

I guess. I don't know.

It's also just simply that the things being said are very hurtful, and if people really think I'm spreading pedophilia, I don't want to keep doing that. I don't want to insult people with the things I do, either. I try to be incredibly mindful of the images I produce, aware these characters are children, and never set out to put them in any adult situations. I've never drawn them to kiss and even with my aged up designs, I try to keep things innocent, as I'm really sensitive to this subject as a victim of CSA myself.

...But I also know that it's hard for me, as a victim of CSA, to have an objective view on the situation. I'm truly sorry to someone if I've offended them, so I've set on a mission to try and remove my art everywhere, just in case. I don't want to add to a problem if I am.

I'm just not sure what to do from here on.

I only hope that if anyone is part of this group where they make fun of me, they can tell me who it is one day to put my mind at ease because now, I can't really trust anyone in this space, and I feel like I've lost an entire group of people I had an ability to talk with.

But here's the thing, Vriska saying this doesn't make it any more canon than it was before. She is just calling his coding what it is.

NSFW ask game

1. When did your character have their first kiss? What was it like?

I’m going to say Rozen was probably around 10 the first time someone forced themselves onto him. He doesn’t really remember much- choosing to block a lot of those memories out.

It doesn’t matter anyway- It was just some nameless drunk late at night. Bastard thought he was the cutest thing- kept cooing at him like some stray cat and ignoring how clearly uncomfortable he was by the idea of getting so close to a stranger without his owner at the time’s supervision.

He was right to be cautious because the next thing he knows, they’re pressing him against a wall, feeling him up before planting a kiss on him. Disgusted and mortified he stomps on the drunkards foot- taking advantage of their lack of coordination at the time and pushing them off relatively easily before running.

Jim Jones made a lot of people sign a lot of false confessions to really gross stuff. It was obviously a manipulation/blackmail tactic, especially to ruin Jeffrey's life, as he worked at the school at Jonestown.

Jeffrey was a CS/A victim himself (age 4 or 5, probably when he was living on a military base in Guam). The victim becoming an offender narrative seems highly unlikely here.

Jim Jones, despite being an abusive father, drew the line at CS/A and severely beat a man who S/A'ed a 12-year-old girl. If Jeffrey actually did any of the stuff he "confessed" to, he would have undoubtedly received the same treatment, and just as publicly. We would know.
