(36,827 posts)There's nothing positive about racism.
Censorship schemes that you seem to favor were unworkable in the age before the internet and are even less so now. They inevitably involve some body that gets to choose what people can and can't watch and the benefit was dubious to begin with and the detriment was obvious.
"anti-pornography" vs pro-sex isn't a false dichotomy for the most part. Many anti-pornographers are both figuratively and literally anti-sex as the most vocal of them are either far right social conservatives who are against all sex outside of heterosexual marriage and anti-PIV(sex) feminists. Certainly there are exceptions, but inevitably it boils down to arguments about morality rather than substance.
