> Not saying you shouldn't be able to buy videos of whatever your heart desires.

You can pay for PornHub, you know.

You did mention "avant garde porn", which is an extremely weird turn of phrase. As if I was talking about some sort of high art or whatever. No, I'm talking about nudes and people fucking. Is that weird to you? It's just... "performance sex" for which you pay, like you would pay to watch Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible 4000: Too Old For This Shit". Are you also for banning "Mission Impossible"? Maybe I can get behind that!

> I _am_ ready to discuss banning Facebook and Twitter and TikTok.

You won't find much traction for that position here, I'm afraid. In general I'm against banning stuff just because I don't like it; I can see why you'd support this VPN initiative if that's your standpoint.

edit:

> and the parasocial OF type platforms.

There are lots of parasocial things in the modern world, are you also for banning them? Like, do you know the kind of relationship some fans feel they have with Taylor Swift, or what about K-Pop fans? Do you think that should be restricted/banned too?

I'm trying to isolate if your hangup is specifically about sex, or whether there's a whole range of stuff you'd also ban/regulate/restrict.



It seems like you were just triggered by my initial phrase "scummy porn and social media platforms." That means porn platforms and social media platforms. Platform is the noun. Social media and porn are adjectives.

It seems like you are trying to put some kind of puritanical words in my mouth such that I think all porn should be illegal or something even though I have explicitly indicated otherwise in several comments. It does not seem like you are having a good faith discussion here, so I am going to let it go at this point.
