it's easier for them to rant on about the evils of porn and, from "our" side, the enslavement of porn actresses if they ignore those popunders for "private chats" that they must have seen in their "research."

I went to a peep show once years ago just to see what it was, and it was as nasty as I imagined. I'm not sure I ever want to meet the guys who get off on that. Now, however, the peep show is in your office, bedroom, kitchen, or car and doesn't seem so sleazy at all. I don't know how much they make, but it's probably more than their cut of a quarter for a few minutes of the shutter going up. And no one has to wash the walls on the internet.

I'm not taking the time to read the article, but... TreasonousBastard Nov 2013 #5

also there is an issue that they believe porn is commercial rather than heavily amateur loli phabay Nov 2013 #6

Yes, that's rather silly. But why get up in arms about it? nomorenomore08 Nov 2013 #19

I'm not up in arms. Bonobo Nov 2013 #20
