Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I doubt actresses/actors in porn are actually being asphyxiated.
I would absolutely not stake anything on that. Sexual violence against porn actresses is rampant.
I've read accounts of women who've left the porn industry and there's a lot of fucked up shit that happens in scenes. There's definitely a non-zero amount of choking scenes in porn that are real choking.
After learning about the whole GirlsDoPorn thing I honestly believe that a lot of the violence against women depicted in porn is real.
CW sexual abuse, drugging, misogyny, trauma for the article https://www.404media.co/michael-james-pratt-girls-do-porn-sentencing-memorandum-trial/
I'd like to think so, but I've been on this planet long enough to know that's not true. There's plenty of horrendous stuff on the front page of every tube site. I think there was a study done on this, and the results were bad...
I was thinking specifically of professionally produced stuff, but even then I realize that I'm being far too optimistic.
The porn industry is so rampant with abuse I unironically think it should be a crime to consume (unless you can verify what you're watching isn't)
Yeah, I was thinking that the larger production companies might have more safety guardrails on average, but honestly I'm not sure the data would actually back that up.
Even people having private and consensual sex untainted by the profit motive practice choking in dangerous ways. There's absolutely no reason to believe things would be more safe in the porn industry, and a plethora of reasons to believe they'd be worse.
I meant that I would expect many actors to be acting rather than actually choking, but I realize that was probably ridiculously optimistic.
