Four years after its last attempt fizzled out.

    Why do you hate people having control over their own body so much?

      Porn creates misogynistic incels.

        I think the misogynistic incels came first

          Porn addiction can also turn people into incels.

            You keep saying this, do you have a source?

                Replace porn with water and you can easily see why this is a bad take:

                You: Water is bad and should be banned. It causes [bad thing].

                Me: You’re saying that a lot, have a source?

                You: Google “harm from water.”

                In reality, all that search shows is that porn can cause harm. And no one is going to be surprised by that fact, it’s a well known issue. You know what else causes harm when misused? Any prescription medication, anything you buy from a grocery store, literal rain. Pick something, and I can show you how it can cause harm.

                But what I asked for, is a source to your “porn causes incels” claim. If you don’t want to provide a source, that’s fine. Just be aware that you’re immediately going to be mocked with comments such as:

                Your source is that you made it the fuck up.
