not sure, but in the greater picture of overpopulation, porn seems to be a cheap and effective measure compared to medical/physical alternatives.
- progrus 4y agoI guess when your benchmark is genocide, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
- samoa42 4y agowouldn't call it genocide because it is not a selective measure. but yea, "preventing births" does qualify
- progrus 4y agoI meant to say that the phrase “medical/physical alternatives” in the context you used it, means genocide.

- progrus 4y agoAt the slightest hint of coercion toward those measures, it’s genocide. Even peer pressure. Be sure not to do that.
