I think the world is feeling the worst effects of greed and lust. Just imagine how much better the world would be if pornography consumption was reduced and if it wasn't so easy for kids to find it.

I think many people are familiar with the pursuit of money and profits in the absence or abandonment of morals and principles. If American corporations chosen principles (freedom of speech) over profits, there wouldn't be the issue of internet censorship. If bio/medical corporations were firstly concerned with the health of their patients rather than acquiring new patients, there wouldn't be the epidemics of myopia, transsexualism, and covid.
Lust is harder to explain and a lot of it is from personal observation of other people. Pornography addiction can cause serious delusion. I don't know what is going on in people's heads when it happens. I blame it for the incel, coomer, and trans[gender/sexual] phenomenon. A minor can have an innocent interest in cartoon anthro characters or fanfiction, and that is a few clicks away from extreme content that portrays abusive relationships or sexual violence as arousing; or anatomically impossible fantasies, upon which an obsession may develop and can lead someone to try emulating that at the expense of their health (futanari and self-described "dickgirls").

I respect you. Especially the "soundness" of your arguments, which ain't nothing as delusional, as mine, but also you way of explaining them. Without sarcasm or cynicism i can see no reasonable reason to fight them. Kudos.
