    That’s not really convincing and leaves me entirely unsure which is the more likely explanation:

    • Young men’s taste in porn has turned towards more violent stuff, which would be a bad sign for society at large
    • Shitty algorithms on porn sites are pushing people towards more objectionable stuff just like they do on youtube
    • Porn is about the same since the 1970s and the idea that it’s getting worse is a fabrication

        While Harris admitted his own observations were more anecdotal, he said that both the descriptions of incidents and the attitudes of offenders show that online violence has been normalised.

        Pretty much

      I would definitely say the middle. Don’t get me wrong, I avidly enjoy bdsm, but most of the “rough stuff” on pornhub doesn’t look particularly enjoyable for any party - amateur has always been better for that sort of thing.

      I don’t use Tik Tok, but I believe there have also been some questionable trends regarding choking and other kink stuff being shown in unhealthy ways(constrict the bloodways, not the windpipe, folks!)
