Porn desperately needs more unionisation. Pretty much all of the problems within the industry (pay, drugs, consent violations, sexual health, normalisation of abusive sexual practices) could be fixed or heavily mitigated by more unionisation.

You couldn’t possibly seem like more of a boilerplate Reddit asshole.

“but I’m a bit terrified of dating again partly because it feels like being vanilla (and I’m very vanilla) is seen as utterly unacceptable nowadays on a lot of dating site profiles.”

Oh, I think I know the answer to that one.

Dude, you and your fellow fedora-bros are the ones who barged in here to pounce on a rather innocuous comment in an attempt to derail the conversation. Which has happened. So, job well done. Go back to Reddit and brag about how you showed those silly females.

Again, I can see the MRA’s found this one.

“I never said that all handsome confident guys are assholes, you did. And I am not here to perpetuate the myth that all shy guys are nice guys.”

When your first instinct is to correct someone for over generalising or whatever rather than offer empathy or do anything at all constructive, I find it hard to believe you actually care about the abuse in question.

“Also, how dare you assume that just because I’m a man that I’m automatically more interested in cars and video games.”

“but I’d imagine there are a ton of guys who have experience with an ex who liked being choked and dominated, and then they take that to their next partner without asking first.”

“Are men just meant to stay silent when they don’t agree with stories of abuse?”
Yeah, you should probably consider that. Because doing otherwise just makes you look like someone who makes excuses for abusers. And the people most likely to make excuses for abusers are.....abusers.

“They is a niche group of men that enjoy extreme sexual violence/degradation.”

How many heterosexual men have you had sex with? I’m just curious. If the answer is 0, maybe shut up because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

YOU’RE GENERALISING MEN! NOT ALL MEN! I AM A NICE GUY, YOU &*&(*(*!

Speaking of “stop”, god forbid a man ever recognise a woman is too drunk to consent and do just that.

Fuck off fedora-bro.

It’s not an absurd statement. I’m pretty sure most of the women here commenting have slept with far more heterosexual men than you have and thus have a much higher sample size.

No, they’re men. Stop this. It’s “not all men” with a slight variation.

Speaking of internally consistent, or lack thereof, I’ve got no idea what you’re trying to say here and I’ve read it 3 times.

I know you mean well, but for the sake of your own health you should stop justifying yourself to MRA toolboxes. Regardless of facts, they’re going to blame you anyway, because that’s what they do. So just tell them to get fucked.
