You lamented the fact that unlogged users can not see it and that they can not be found as easily. This is the same as "make it available to the public without any type of check".
Sexuality != Porn, and "toxicity" is dose-dependent. Eating a bit of broccoli is good for you. Too much at once and you get thyroid dysfunction.
There are plenty of things that are good and normal, but need to be discussed/presented with a proper context and (most importantly) people need to have a better understanding of the potential bad consequences if it is abused or corrupted.
You don't see young people destroying their lives because they were promised they could make a lot of money by knitting sweaters or working as electricians, but cases of vulnerable women who regret getting into sex work are infinite.
Behold! (nsfw) - no login required, just an "are you 18+?" prompt, which is pretty standard. You can also search for NSFW communities without logging in. If you're being more moralistic about this than Reddit is, you're probably taking it too far.
Porn ∈ Sexuality. Also, I intentionally used a broader term here, because what I'm advocating for is expansive, not restricted to just porn. For example, I miss r/bdsmcommunity and r/sex, which are discussion-only. However, you don't get those kinds of communities growing in a place as structurally and culturally prudish as the threadiverse.
Yeah, porn is about on par with video games in that regard. Yet we (rightly) don't suppress gaming communities here.
C'mon, don't get all SWERFy on me now. That regret is a direct result of (drum roll)... sex negative culture! (And capitalist labor exploitation.)
"If you think sex workers 'sell their bodies,' but coal miners do not, your view of labor is clouded by your moralistic view of sexuality."
Look, I want a world in which, to the extent that jobs continue to be a thing, acting in commercial porn is just as normal and unremarkable as any other job, and people don't get all judgy about it. Same (hopefully robust) labor protections too. We don't get to there without abandoning pearl-clutching attitudes towards the resulting product, among other things.
I just tried, it's the same on https://lemmynsfw.com/
Like I said, they have to maintain their own patch to make that work, which needs to be updated for each new Lemmy version. It's not something that mainline Lemmy will do.
