My view is all porn is harmful and the end0goal should be ban the whole industry but it makes sense to focus on the worst most violent porn first as a political tactic I guess

I just believe there should be criminal penalties for injuring or killing a partner during sex.

Yes absolutely BDSM should not be used as a legal defense for violence

Do you think it's possible to ban porn again after the cat has been let so far out of the bag?

I'm skeptical. I'd be happy if it happened, but I don't see men giving up their porn without a fight.

It's definitely going to be a huge fight. Was something they really seemed to be making headway with in the 70s and 80s but the Internet has made porn so much stronger and more ubiquitous. I' guess I would hope that if we can somehow make more people aware of the damage it causes and the way it exploits women more people will support banning it. But I don't know, it's a huge uphill battle and sometimes I just get really depressed about what it is doing to young people and it seems almost no way to fight such a strong and corrupting industry.
