I understand why even if it may be something that people wouldn’t want to be opposed to but I do believe we ought to work to show why at least the more “mainstream” extremely problematic “pornography” ought to be opposed. I still think all sexual content ought to be opposed but that’s a lesser goal I think. I think some AES states have good policies on opposing sexual content without serious artistic or scientific value
I readily agree, exploitative and problematic depictions should be rallied against and serve little purpose in a progressive world. Thats why I stood in defense of the majority of drawn and written works, they avoid the common disgusting nature that something that the porn film industry perpetuates.
What I am arguing for is also what the vast majority of AES countries have implemented. For example, in China, porn is completely legal. No one cares if you draw boobies or dicks, film yourself with your partner (consensually of course), or write about your (unproblematic) fantasies. Hell, there are Chinese version of Rule34 and other porn art based websites. However, the porn industry is extremely highly monitored and illegal, physical sex work is very rare and illegal, and you cannot “advertise with sex”.
That seems reasonable and entirely achievable. It both accomplishes countering the negative affects like you mentioned, prevents exploitation, and does not attempt to do something entirely unachievable or unenforceable such as rallying against all sexual content.
Also, another massive problem is who gets to decide what is or isn’t sexual content?
I think China is definitely a step in the right direction but still I would personally argue for someone that covers a bit more of sexual content being illegal and limiting it far more. The thing with deciding what is illegal is something you could say about essentially anything. It would have to be determined through debates within a party and the people to decide the standards. Of course this is similar to limiting other things like deciding what counts as hateful content for example
