    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.

                  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.

          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.”

      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?

      If you ban bank heist movies like Ocean’s Eleven, people will stop robbing banks

        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
