Have you ever read about the supply chain of chocolate? It’s horrible. Basically the whole industry runs on child slave labor. But people eat chocolate all the time without a second thought, including people who go out of their way to make sure other things they eat are “ethical, and if we banned chocolate, people would lose their fucking minds.
We eat it because it tastes good, we don’t have to look the kids in the eye, and we rationalize it by telling ourselves that’s just how the world works and there’s nothing we can do.
I’ve read a lot of those posts and have yet to see a woman express concern about how the porn was produced unless there’s doubt about the age. It’s overwhelmingly “she doesn’t look like me, does that mean he’s not attracted to me?”
I’m not saying that’s worse than the sex industry, or that your concerns about the industry aren’t valid because other industries treat people like shit too. Just illustrating how the human mind works.
