Open wide, it's another excessively introspective post about porn from yours truly.
I'm curious to hear others thoughts on where you draw the line for what's fair game. I personally can't mesh with IRL porn because of the russian roulette nature of whether or not the participants are fully consensual in the matter. I mean for fucks sake, pornhub literally thanos snapped like half of its videos years ago because Visa was threatening to axe them if they didn't curtail on all the... *ahem* "Papa Johns" and other sour videos that was found to be uploaded on their platform.
Plus if you are somewhat subscribed to the notion that all consent is manufactured under the god that is late capitalism, the idea of someone pretending to enjoy giving a blowjob to avoid being evicted kinda robs any enjoyment I might have. Doubly so if it turns out that video is actually revenge porn. This doesn't mean I judge people who do consume real porn (in part because the sheer magnitude of consumers is too voluminous to consider alienating), it's just that this is something that I will respectfully fundamentally disagree with most on, which is fine I guess.
Of course, cynics and even the odd nihilist might argue that this viewpoint should be taken to its extreme and say that all porn is technically unethical so it doesn't matter, but I like to imagine that there's at least some difference between having a Patreon base that consumes mainly gay furry porn and offering up your personhood to whatever agency and hoping snide comments are the worst you'll face.

Only porn I have a hard boundary on is illegal and people who didn't consent to be drawn
Then anything that makes me uncomfortable
I don't find 2D porn to be unethical at all, it's more of a toonophile thing, fictional.
I just like reading normal porn, i cant really watch irl either because of the whole "just for the paycheck" view on it,
Even now i havent even really been looking at porn that much anymore because of that, or that there isnt really just vanilla porn comics anymore, its always something over the top or not my taste,
Ethics as long as its all agreed upon ofc, been through one or two experiences so im very against non consenting sex
I’m just horny sometimes yk? And if it looks good... well, you know too, no? Even though sometimes my brain just resets when it sees AI, and I get confused because I didn’t train it to do that.
Regarding “normal” porn: I don’t know, it just looks weird sometimes, too unnatural or something.
Ethical porn, huh? Uhh, as long as it’s legal, I guess.
I honestly can't stand AI porn at all. It's got the same goddamn sheeny look to it, the art style constantly dips in the uncanny valley territory, and is literally built of the work of actual artists. It might be pretentious me to write of AI porn as 'unethical' as well, but I feel comfortable drawing that line in the sand.
