No. Do you think fiction about rapeing women is'nt a problem? Have you considered the idea that exposing oneself to said fiction could reinforce a violent and objectifying view of womem? Or normalize rape and sexual violence?

Can I demand racing games be banned because they promote CO2 emissions?

No, and thankfully this is a complete strawman. If one wanted to make that analogy, it might point out how racing games might normalize speeding.

You just described most people doing most jobs.

If your job is honestly comparable to that of a reluctant sex worker, you really need to switch jobs.

Pretty sure most people wouldn't work in whatever job they have if they didn't need the money.

Likewise, there's many who likely prefer doing porn over working in fast food or retail. After all, in one you get demeaned, mistreated, even abused, and in the other you get to orgasm for money.

This is a completly wrong conceptualization. Porn "stars" often are often locked into filming increasingly extreme and often increasingly violent content. Many are left back traumatized for life.

See, for example, this study.

This article challenges the consumer-centric view of pornography, which overlooks the exploitation and abuse of individuals documented in its production. The lack of conceptual clarity surrounding the nature of pornography obscures these abuses, leading to significant consequences for those affecte

Way to just say that women and LGBT+ don't like porn.

About 70% of consumers are men.

when the correlation is extremely strong and repeatable, it usually implies causation. There's already research that proves that link isn't just correlation. Not that it seems you're actually interested in data or good faith discussion.

Op might or might not be, but i am. Please feel free to back up your claim with data.

Nice things like games involving incest and rape?

This is not correct.

Contrary to the earlier notion that addiction is predominantly a substance dependency, research now suggests that any source or experience capable of stimulating an individual has addictive potential. This has led to a paradigm shift in the psychiatric understanding of behavioural addictions. These can refer to a range of behaviors such as gambling, video gaming, and sexual practices. Hypersexual behavior and pornography addiction come to the fore when the behavior becomes intensive, out of the individual’s control, and persists in that pattern despite harmful consequences and risk of harm to one’s emotional and/or physical health.

There is zero nuance to their target choices.

Zero nuance is what this thread is filled with.

One does not need to agree with everything they do or did. In fact, i don't. But getting games that are clearly catering to rapist fantasies pulled off steam, is something i see as very positive.

Yes! It feels like this being rather worthless without alternative media, as it makes up such a huge part of their ~~news~~ brainwashing.

Funny, isn't it. All this time the left has yelled about those republicans who "only care about things when it affects them".

Germany is doing okayish:

Holy fuck, you are right. This is from his Wikipedia page:

All the articles lead to just a handful of monks and a small group of their followers all of whom are military backed. It IS NOT wide-spread.

I can read and watch and understand what these militant monks have been saying and doing while you haven't so your ASSUMPTION is again coming from absolute ignorance as are your arguments.

I'm not assuming, I'm going by the information that has been made avaible. Like here:

This violence has often been supported by factions within the Buddhist monastic community in Myanmar. Buddhist sermons regularly include Islamophobic messages such as unsubstantiated rumors of Muslim violence against Buddhists or Muslim plots to take over the country and destroy Buddhism. Thousands of monks have participated in anti-Muslim demonstrations, increasing interreligious tensions in the region. These elements of the Buddhist community have justified their actions using Buddhist theology, claiming that violence is acceptable if it is done in defense of their religion.

Regardless, there is no doubt that much of the Buddhist religious leadership of Myanmar has promoted violence against Muslims in the region.

This seems to directly contradict you.

As a side note, I find this part interesting:

The ethnic and religious violence in Myanmar is incredibly complex; the traumas of colonialism, poverty, the recent transition from a military government to a more democratic state, and the global war on terror all play major roles in shaping the conflict. However, the role of Buddhism in this conflict is clearly no less complex. While many monks in Myanmar seem to support and even advocate for violence against their Muslim neighbors, there are others who are constantly working to end the violence. Both believe their actions to be deeply inspired by Buddhism, and both use theology to justify their claims. 

Maybe you will habe to just accept that there is no such thing as an easy truth here.
