Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

I agree that for most people there is a knowledge that it's fictional. But don't you think a pedophile watches the fakes and gets his rocks off just the same because he wants the fantasy to be real. It's a blurry line between knowing it's fake and wanting it to be real. Some of us have fine upstanding personal morality, not everyone does, and some people are no more thinking about controlling their instincts than a well trained dog. I think someone who wanted the real thing, but knew it was illegal and was struggling with the idea would seek out just this type of legal fake porn. I also think it would increase their urges to make that fantasy a reality, which is why I'm against that type of legal porn.

Same exact argument for videogame haters

Surely you are going to offer up some kind of study, or some type of evidence to back this claim up. Im against that type of porn as well, but I would like to see how you came about that conclusion.

What would you like me to show evidence for that I haven't or isn't common knowledge? which porn is illegal? Evidence that pedophiles watch kiddie porn and fake kiddie porn? the process of urges and their tie to emotional response? Evidence that some people don't give a rats ass about what's socially acceptable or not? That people who want to look at people being killed will find a way to see people being killed? What exactly that I haven't already shown evidence for or is common knowledge would you like me to substantiate for you? Perhaps we should start with what particular claim you feel is unsupported.
