People who are anti-porn tend to have very sex negative views of the world, close to those you see out of puritanical conservatives. Oh, the language changes, but it's the same narrow minded horseshit used to dictate/control how men/women express/conduct themselves.

A kid seeing a tit ain't going to hurt them, at least no more than the flood of misinformation and violence they are subjected to thanks to other stupid belief systems that permeate western culture.

A kid seeing a tit isn’t going to hurt them. A kid being exposed to hours and hours of degrading content at their fingertips warps their brains and how they develop sexually. They see women as meat and develop damaging fetishes.

It’s not a religious thing it’s not a conservative thing.

The fact you see all porn as degrading is a conservative viewpoint. Even ignoring that, your argument boils down to the same "violent videogames cause children to be violent" nonsense that has been pushed by conservative/religious nuts since the 90s and is thoroughly debunked. Media alone does not shape a person's world view, it at best reinforces existing preconceptions and biases.

I'm not even going to get into the fetish thing, because that's been long used as an excuse to demonise LGBT people and frankly you should know better if you're "progressive".

How is it not degrading to show women as an object that men use as a glove to bust? A violent industry with rape abuse and exploitation everywhere? And it’s not the same “violent video games make people violent”. Porn sickness is real. It’s not media shaping a world view. It’s a drug and a cycle that many men get trapped to at a young age because they have such easy access to porn. The two are just not equivalent at all.
