She reads romance novels, someone else look at porn. My thought has always been “you prefer words, they prefer pictures, but fundamentally it’s no different”

Maybe not in the preference but I think there is a fundamental difference in terms of the actual product. Porn as an industry tends to be a lot more exploitative for the people featured in its media, whereas I don't think the same is true with the romance novel industry when writing about fictional characters. (Don't get me wrong the latter can be problematic too but I think they're on completely different levels)
