Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I mean I would argue while there's no fundamental issue, a majority of porn that exists has the major moral problem of being almost exclusively produced coercively (either directly or by wage slavery).
This is true, and falls under [feature of capitalism].
Though I will note there's a lot of people - albeit still a definite minority - who primarily engage with pornography through forms that, even in the case of wage slavery, aren't particularly more harmful than any job as an artist or writer who has to make stuff other people want to meet ends meet.
Even beyond that, there's really no good evidence for the consumption of porn being inherently harmful, regardless of the morality of the work's production.
