I wish to respond to the following comment from the PSA thread:
I think there is some general confusion here about how the brain processes and interprets information. That said, pornography that is violent (or has degrading themes) can increase callousness towards women, increase aggression towards women, desensitize men to violence against women, and disseminate myths about SA (or "rape scripts" as some feminists call them) such as all women secretly want it. This is particularly true for men who score higher on aggression, and not particularly true for nonviolent pornography (Malamuth, 2010).
"The research ... has demonstrated, for the most part ... that sexually explicit images, per se, do not in the short run facilitate aggressive behavior against women, change attitudes about rape, or influence other forms of antisocial behavior. Instead, the research indicates that it is the violent images embedded in some forms of pornography, or even the violent images alone, that account for many of the antisocial effects observed in experimental studies" (Scott, 2008, p 341).

Typical evangelical as well as woke nonesense. I'm tired of this strawman. By your logic desater movies, such as Independence Day, encourages Destruction and that people are too dumb to discern between fiction and reality. It's literally the "Video Games cause violence/school shootings" strawman, but for adults and also it doesn't. You know why? Becuase normal people know the difference between real and fake. Something you clearly don't have a grasp on.
