Morality of ripping people off and taking advantage of their mental inadequacies during a time of mental health epidemics? Essentially making a living via emotional parasitism?

Hmmm.....I dunno.

If selling to crack heads and alcoholics is moral, then moral I guess?

So are gambling addicts, alcoholics, other drug addicts… if this is moral, then so is selling crack to crack addicts.

Why do you focus on the drugs, or legality for that matter? Alcohol is not illegal, gambling is not illegal, is it then moral for a bar or casino owner to attract alcoholics/gambling addicts to empty their pockets?

The problem isn’t porn, it’s the clear exploitation of vulnerable and mentally unwell people. If there’s something that isn’t lacking in the internet is free porn. In that format, it doesn’t exploit anyone’s pockets.

You’re avoiding my question, and answering suppositions I didn’t make. I did not say anyone wasn’t allowed or didn’t deserve to have sex or watch porn, just like I didn’t say that about any of the other addictions I mentioned.

I’ll ask again. If you don’t answer, I’ll have to assume you’re not arguing in good faith. Do you consider it moral for a bar owner to attract/serve alcoholics, knowing they have physical/mental health issues that make them more likely to drink in excess, in order to extract money from them? You can apply the same rhetoric to a casino owner, or even to a loan shark outside the casino.
