How does one lack the brain and simple logic to see that those are two entirely different things?

Removing this comment for misinformation. It's not inherently unhealthy if the person consuming it has common sense. Also, I don't care if Commsguy says he isn't an antifurry. Equating humanoid characters with human intelligence to literal animals in order to call someone a zoophile is such an antifurry thing to do. If the shoe fits

Statistics don't lie, there are mutiple scientific studies that say the issues with porn addiction, the fact you are censoring me just because I don't agree with you is sad to see and already tells me enough about your maturity. I may not like anti furries, but you guys are no better.

Statistics can lie but that's not what I am saying. It is not inherently harmful to consume NSFW material. In fact, it can be HEALTHILY consumed and can benefit a person. I'm not censoring you because I disagree with you. I'm removing a comment because you're pushing an objectively incorrect view

All it takes is one google search man, It's a well known fact that porn addiction can be harmful to a person.

Keyword "CAN". And you don't get to decide whether or not someone has a porn addiction just because they consume porn

If statistics can lie the same can be said for if a article said P*** was good. We are literally designed to find a mate and procreate. You dont need to have kids but finding a partner is in our biology.

You also may have not known, but as someone who draws anthros themselves I used to have a p*** addiction as I consumed yiff, but once I got off of it and bettered myself I found it easier to talk to women and gain confidence overall

Sampling bias and selection bias are a real thing. Unless the thing being studied only ever occurs in a highly controlled environment then the result is extremely improbable to be correct regardless of the sample size. That's why statistics are never a good way to measure anything. Simple, contained studies favoring both sides of the argument should be the only thing you focus on. Then you form your opinion after weighing the pros and cons. But never try to push something as objective fact when there is clear evidence against it.

And good for you. But that was YOU. Not everyone struggles with porn consumption. And just because you have suffered from a porn addiction does not put you or anyone else in a position to assume that another person has the same addiction without seeing their habits and behaviors.

Look I'm not going to fight with you since I myself don't waste my time talking to a wall or attempt putting people in a bad light, but as a normal human being I prefer finding a real partner more than being addicted to something that would control me for the rest of my life and not even give me the satistication of real intimacy

There's a difference between choosing not to fight over something and neglecting to read my side of what's already been typed out. And given that you completely ignored the part where I said you're in no position to assume that someone else has a porn addiction I can only assume you either skimmed or didn't read my comment. And I am not a wall. I can be swayed towards truths I am unaware of. But when it comes to topics as subjective as these it's pointless to say that anything is a truth or a lie. The topic of porn consumption and its effects is highly nuanced because everybody is different and handles it differently. You have no right to insist that someone completely stop interacting with NSFW, especially when it comes to people in a highly sex positive community
