We should abolish online porn entirely.
A reduction in incels will reduce the number of white supremacists.
-
Because, historically, prohibition of [x] has been a highly effective strategy with no downsides whatsoever.
-
Why do you hate people having control over their own body so much?
-
Porn creates misogynistic incels.
-
I think the misogynistic incels came first
-
Porn addiction can also turn people into incels.
-
You keep saying this, do you have a source?
-

Replace porn with water and you can easily see why this is a bad take:
You: Water is bad and should be banned. It causes [bad thing].
Me: You’re saying that a lot, have a source?
You: Google “harm from water.”
In reality, all that search shows is that porn can cause harm. And no one is going to be surprised by that fact, it’s a well known issue. You know what else causes harm when misused? Any prescription medication, anything you buy from a grocery store, literal rain. Pick something, and I can show you how it can cause harm.
But what I asked for, is a source to your “porn causes incels” claim. If you don’t want to provide a source, that’s fine. Just be aware that you’re immediately going to be mocked with comments such as:
Your source is that you made it the fuck up.

Holy loaded (pun intended) search phrase, Batman! 🤦

No it doesn't

Yeah I don't think so. Got a source for that?

Ok Dr. Kellogg. This was not true about masturbation/eating meat in 1852 and always confuses me when people try to bring back this type of thinking.
If you want a good look into this fun type of insanity here is a 600 page book: https://archive.org/details/plainfaorold00kell/mode/2up
Fun quote from that book: "In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement, and preventing the recurrence of the practice in those whose will-power has become so weakened that the patient is unable to exercise entire self-control."

There are troll look at their profile, just ignore the idiot

How would that reduce the number of incels?
-
“Trust me bro”
-
It wouldn't

If you ban bank heist movies like Ocean's Eleven, people will stop robbing banks
-
It's a casino heist movie, you uncultured swine.
-
-
So you want an increase in rapes?
Sex is a big part of life.
Porn is just an extension of that.
-
Anyone who needs violent porn as a "sexual release" to avoid raping women belongs in a mental hospital. The entire idea of catharsis is nonsense and counterproductive.
-
ah so you're advocating for a large increase in funding to all mental health services and enabling counselling and therapy for every person in the country. How do you fund it?
-
Tax the rich

Super obvious troll is super obvious
-
30 day ban. Don't make accusations just because you disagree with other users.
-
No, my accusation is based on reality, unlike this here ban I apparently have. Are you 12 or something
