    I didnt say it wasnt racist, i literally said it was racist. I just said its not as weird and bizarre as what is shown in this video, since these types of insults in which white men dominate/oppress women (whether white or nonwhite), such as in the examples i gave above, are very common in mainstream porn. I didnt say it was right or okay, i just said it was more common, and thus it surprised me/shocked me less.

        So why the downvotes? All i said is its not that weird/uncommon, because its not. Its very common among mainstream porn. This isnt a justification, its just stating a fact.

          I think people are reading “not that weird” like it has some moral weight to it, like it’s not that weird --> it’s normal --> it’s okay/a morally okay thing to do.

          Is it really that common?? IDK, I’m not a porn watching degenerate anymore and haven’t been for a long time, for years now - it wasn’t common then tho, I don’t remember seeing anything like that haha. So you’re saying porn has gotten even worse? Wow…not really surprised,but yeah…

            Idk ive never watched that much porn, at least mainstream one in which women being degraded and humiliated is the norm and is supposed to be soooo horny and cooool (its not, its disgusting and unsettling to me). Back when i ever watched something like this (5 years ago or so) men saying to women “b1tch” “slut” “n word” and so on was pretty common. I never liked it.

              Lots of women genuinely like that humiliation.

              Now you can make the argument that many sexual fetishishes are heavily influenced by the propaganda that porn is, and I’d be inclined to agree with you. People can’t help what they’re attracted to, but we are also heavily manipulated into being attracted to things.

                I mean, its true that some women like that (and some men too, although mainstream porn never shows that), but the problem is mainstream porn imposes this as the norm in sex. You wont just find this type of female humiliation in niche BDSM porn, you will find it in most mainstream porn, most not BDSM at all. So this conditions many men in that abusing women during sex is normal and they all enjoy it. Sure some do enjoy it, but most dont, and imposing this as an ideal is dangerous, since it conditions many men towards wanting to abuse women during sex, often without even asking if they like it.

                  I agree. That’s why I wrote that porn has a propagandisticit effect. It perpetuates mysogyny and racism and reinforces ideology like every other piece of media we consume under capitalism.
