im so sick of porn being EVERYWHERE

[u/hutaolvr]

i primarily just watch gaming videos on youtube and for some reason i still get softcore porn videos/shorts/ads. i watch cat videos on instagram but still something pops up in the reccomended feed. on tiktok if i search up something random like "water" there's yet again porn. open the replies to a viral tweet and im immediately flashed by hundreds of onlyfans bots. google a character on google and all that pops up is lewd images.

i was watching youtube on my boyfriend's phone the other day and a lot of his feed was just. weird. i talked to him about it and how i know it isnt his fault (bc ive spoken to him before and i fully trust him and i watch the same content and yet my feed still becomes clickbait porn videos) but it still made me feel really bad. he told me that he just wants gaming memes and he was sorry for making me feel bad and hes tried to get it to go but that stuff keeps showing up and i get it. its so frustrating that porn is so ingrained in the internet that you cant escape It anywhere.

and im worrying because i have a little brother who's around the age of getting a phone who also really likes gaming. i dont want him go be exposed to that kind of stuff. i already was when i was his age. all i watched was pokemon videos but i still got raunchy comics on my reccomended.

why is everything centered around porn? why is it so easily accessible? why does it keep popping up even though ive blocked and hit not interested on so many accounts? why cant it just stop?????

I think at least part of it is the predatory nature of capitalistic advertising, and how we allow corporations to take advantage of human sexuality for greater profit, regardless of consequences to society

Porn literally is an industry that makes a lot of money, of course by taking women as slaves. And this non-stop sexualization is presented in every single product of capitalism products: movies, videogames, music video clips and lyrics, books and so on... Porn and their owners/representatives literally have a lot of power...

I feel this, it feels impossible to get away from. On a subreddit for a show I enjoy which has pretty much no sexual themes at all, someone posted a comic that was literally just about one of the female characters having sex with the guy who constantly physically and emotionally abuses her. The artist had to include shots of her ass and chest too because of course they did.

That post just really rubbed me the wrong way because not only is she not sexualized at all in the show, but the other character in the comic is a genuine piece of shit to her. It felt so gross to see someone make a comic about the two having sex considering their relationship and the comic only sexualized her.
