    You said porn is evil. Seems pretty relevant to reply saying things aren’t all good or evil.

    I could explain it slowly in simpler terms with easy words, if it helps?

      If you have a position state it directly instead of hiding behind a low effort platitude.

        I did. My position is that there is nuance and not everything can be described as good or evil.

                  The fact that you think that’s a burn just proves my point. If you watch porn you should seriously stop. It’s terrible for your brain chemistry, personal relationships, emotional health, vitality and spiritual state. It exploits women and severely damages the way men see women. Human sexuality gets hijacked and instead of having a loving relationship people are stuck in private viewing shameful images and pleasuring themselves for years not understanding that they are literally wasting their life and potential. People get addicted to the instant release of porn which harms personal relationships and longer-form activities that take continual effort and nuance and bring a higher order of pleasure and happiness. It’s probably good that porn frequently distracts people from having kids because undoubtedly the child would eventually be exposed to it purposefully or not by the parent at some point. So even if I accept your premise – porn is evil.

                    You realise most of that could be flipped to say the same thing about religion too, right?
                    And religion has arguably done more harm to women than porn ever has or will, so if porn is evil, religion must be too.

                    With places like onlyfans surging in popularity, women (and men) are much less likely to be exploited these days. There’s a lot less degrading content out there, and there’s many healthy couples who watch (and make) porn together, with no negative impact on their lives.

                    And I’m not denying some people are affected negatively by it, much like some people become alcoholics rather than only drinking socially.

                    Nothing in this world is purely good or evil. Those are terms you use for fantasy stories, not the real world.
