Every single right winger that users Nier as some example of right wing politics either didn't play the game or stared at the screen drooling with their brain switched off for the entirety of the multiple playthroughs it takes to fully finish it.
I never will understand why rightoids are allowed to be horny and not us.
Most of them are scared shitless that some supernatural entity is going to torture them forever for having a sex drive, and that's why call anything even remotely risque the funny d-word, yet it never seems to apply to them. Like they're allowed to be perverse as a "reward" for conforming so well.
I find it very strange that some leftists will defend sex work and pornography, with all the implications around human trafficking, consent, exploitation, etc., and then also condemn M rated games for having protagonists who are sexualized.
I mean, I'm more or less like that.
In short, I think both should be legal. In regards to sexwork and porn, its mostly because it will happen regardless, might as well make it as safe as possible for the people at risk.
But like, I'd still generally condemn someone for regularly purchasing sex, just as I would to someone who only plays coombrained games (not that those two things are 'equivalently bad' mind).
People should be allowed to make, and consume, bad media, and also people should be allowed to dunk on them for liking bad media.
I think we can do better than that. Don't legalize it, decriminalize it and then offer women who are stuck in those situations help so they can get out.
No one wants to put themselves at the forefront of some of the worst male (and state) violence for mere dollars, they do it bc they have no choice.
The solution should always be to help women escape those situations, not make those situations legal.
As for porn, that whole industry is just sex slavery with a mask on it. I'm not denying the existence of "ethical porn" but the facts state that the whole industry is caustic with abuse, trafficking, and rape.
