Porn will never be free speech.
Porn is imagery. Porn is media. Porn consists of videos and photos.
Those are visuals. Not speech or text.
Visuals are 100% absolutely covered by āfree speech.ā That seems like a really weird argument to me, because Iām not aware of any time where that hasnāt been the case. If I wanted to look it up right now, Iām guessing I could find some Supreme Court decisions that said so.
Porn is not freedom of speech or expression, nor is it a "right". Porn is the exploitation, commodification, and dehumanization of real human beings - namely women - and nobody reserves the "right" to partake in such a thing or derive pleasure from it.
Thatās maybe a little bit better of an argument against porn than the last one, but I still donāt buy it. Sure, some women HAVE been exploited by the industry, but can you say every woman who ever did it was? Especially today, in the age of āOnlyFansā and such. Women can, of their own free will, post pornographic content of themselves online. Whoās doing the exploiting there? Themselves??
Also, ya know, what about men in porn? Does that just not count for some reason?
