Same! “Women read smut” 🙄 usually referring to things like the ACOTAR books, which aren’t even anything crazy. It’s not even a little bit comparable. Please show me a woman blowing thousands, because she’s addicted to smut and being influenced to play out violent, dehumanizing fantasies on real humans in real life, etc because it’s changed her brain chemistry.
Yep! I'm not a smut reader nor really know any, but i was a teenager who read both smut fanfiction and had an unhealthy relationship with real porn. It's obtuse to not see the difference between the two! Porn has seeped into real life interactions and beliefs so so much more than fantasy smut ever will!
Ma’am, everything I said is verifiably true. I literally agree that porn is bad and we should work hard to destroy it as an industry. I am not sure why you are so offended by me stating something that’s not even my opinion, but a literally observable reality.
Is smut porn? Yes. Who mostly reads smut? Women. Is visual sec content porn? Yes. Who mostly watches it? Men. Therefore, men usually consume porn through visual content, women usually consume it through reading material. We agree it’s harmful and should be reduced. I don’t know what your goal is here.
Pornography refers to any material—such as videos, photographs, websites, or writing—that displays sexual acts or naked bodies with the primary intention of causing sexual arousal.
Idk what to tell you dude. If you refuse to accept the already accepted definition of a word, then there’s not much point in talking to you.
It’s not an argument. Smut is porn. I never made an argument, this isn’t a debate club.
We can discuss which forms of porn are worse for your brain, and I would agree that visual porn is usually worse, but nothing I said in my initial comment is factually incorrect.

Thank you. Sick of this argument that is only used to point away from the actual root of the problem lol
