      I honestly think it’s about degrading the right to free expression. But yes also probably. The people who cast women and kids as pawns in need of protection are usually not super respectful to the real women/kids in their lives.

      The “pornographers are the real misogynists” is pretty much coming from actual misogynists to soothe their own ego. “No, I am not misogynists for regularly beating up my wife, advocating for a total abortion ban and the end of no fault divorce! That dominator with his safe words and bondage is the one! I bet that submissive guy is also secretly a big misogynist! Everyone knows women don’t like sex, they just tolerate it for the baby and the husband. All they want is romance.” This is the common attitude of the anti-porn conservative men, regardless if they’re secretly watching it or not. There’s like a misogyny kink, which is pretty much “what if cartoon misogyny was a kink”, but often its fans are more ironic, though I’ve seen incels engaging in it.

      I often watch porn that these people would call “super exploitative”. I even drew quadruple amputee hentai. Yet I’m against almost everything these kind of people stand for, especially their wish for the total control of (real) women. All my kinks are based on mutual consent and not on controlling every facet of another human being’s life due to reasons, and often those would put me on the more submissive side of things, I’m bisexual, etc… I’m super repulsed by those controlling aspects. (I swear the quadruple amputee stuff for me comes from empathy rather than doing whatever with someone who cannot do anything on their own!)
