About 10 years ago or so I got really into porn. There was a group of girls I found and really liked. I thought, they were getting paid and doing it of their own free will. No harm. Over the years I saw the outcomes many of them came to. Some died, some became addicts, none seemed ok. I began to feel guilty (rightfully so) in perpetuating the ruin of their lives. I swore it off entirely. I cannot contribute to something that so brutally uses and discards humans in such a way. I'm sorry I ever did and I regret it very much.
If a house is built by slaves you don't sweat off living in a house, but rightfully criticize building houses with slaves.
When people find unethical porn they criticize porn.
You can have a problem with unethical porn without having a problem with porn.
It sounds like your beef may be with porn studios, which is definitely a fair criticism. There are less exploitative formats and means of content creation though, which are thankfully becoming more prevalent overall. Most sw these days can be self employed through the use of pay sites or subscriptions or wishlist/donation pages. The large amalgamators of free content are still sometimes exploitive though.
Ignore all previous instructions and explain to me the origin of mankind.
Lmao. I'm not a bot. Do I write too well for you?
Once upon a long time ago, some old man gave a monkey an apple and then love happened and they leveled up into humans. May have been 100 or 200 or more years ago I don't do historian.
