Well, because I am an evil, greedy, immoral, capitalist scumbag…simple enough, right?
Actually, while not all that complicated, it is a bit deeper than that.
I do not like people telling other people what they can and cannot do sexually. I do not like people dictating morality. I do not like emotional terrorism, often masked as a worldly, humanitarian, “godly” or gender-based concern. I do not like it in a house; I would not like it with a mouse. I do not think anyone has a right to tell another human being what they can do with their own body, or what they can find arousing. I do not at all like the idea of a codified agenda of acceptable sexual behavior or erotica. I do not like the treatment those outside the “acceptable norm” receive from others, I do not like the othering of those not within that norm, I do not like the stereotypes, the assumptions, and the lack of agency often forced on those who fail to “be normal”. I think to a great many people sexuality is a very big deal, and I don’t want anyone imposing guidelines on that big deal for grown adults. I like reading Orwell, I do not want to live it.
And that, simply put, is why I am anti-anti porn.
