"porn implies consent" to distance pornography from abuse
i have no problem with the use of the word "CSAM", there are actual situations where the word "CP" wouldn't apply. but "the word porn implies consent" is shit.
from the same creators of "its not sex work if its unconsensual", we now have "its not porn if its unconsensual". its an endless trying (and succeeding, unfortunately) of separating the "good, ethical, moral kind" of sexual exploitation from everything that inevitably happens near it.
men try to push all the rape, abuse, violence, and torture against kids away from pornography, because they dont want the thing they watch daily to be the same thing that harms children. they tell themselves watching adult women in a website that has had countless lawsuits for child trafficking isnt at all supporting what those kids went through.
every few weeks there's news of a woman who was forced to "perform" in pornographic videos against her will, but the people watching women in these videos daily refuse to acknowledge they are probably watching the same crime. they swear up and down they are the one true teller of consent, and that they would never ever watch a woman suffer.
less obviously, these men dont see adult women as capable of being abused. at least not fully. children absolutely cannot consent, but an adult woman can. she may be screaming for it to stop, trying to claw away from her abuser but as an adult, she could've consented. the whorish woman who accepts everything, the prostitute who does it for the love of the game, that will always be the first thought in their minds when hearing about abuse.
in a hypothetical created for discussions, porn stars always consent gleefully to every act and video, therefore you cant label the consistent abuse of women in the pornographic industry as rape. we always have to think of the ever privileged exception as not to "water down" the term rape. women's suffering just isnt enough to justify taking away men's entertainment or tainting it with the forbidden word.
seemingly progressive men who loudly oppose epstein, trump, and rape itself cant, for their image and ego, accept they like rape too
