    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!)

    Which of these ones you think is more likely?

    1. the police head reported the results of a scientific study that explores the correlation between crimes and porn preferences
    2. some idiot boomer finally managed to visit pornhub and was shocked by what they found

    (not saying the boomer would be the police head - I don’t know him and for all I know he’s a person of at least average intelligence)

    It’s the other way around chief, radicalized young men seek out extreme porn because they ain’t getting any of that vanilla loving.
    And the way to getting that is properly educating them on consent and treating their partner with the equal love and respect they yearn for.

        Wrong! You don’t interact with the females. That’s needy beta behavior. You make the females interact with you, they need to feel their need for you

        Did I get this one right Mr. Tate?

    Lack of any punishment for antisocial behavior for young men in Ireland is radicalising them. Garda doesn’t even try to arrest any of them when they acting like shit because they are getting released anyway.

    Irish lads better be prepared for the government to be taking away your wanking licences.
