I am wondering as to why you think it is especially boys? Do girls who are completely surrounded by basically nude females with perfect bodies 24/7 not experience the same level of influence?

If anything I would think it would be the opposite, that girls have it the hardest as boys expect all females to look exactly like they do in movies, billboards, porn, etc. Versus males which tend to be not great, but not nearly as bad.

Anyways onto Apple Vision Pro... I do think that porn is an interesting question, I doubt Apple will do it. But whoever does will probably do WAY better purely because porn has been the reason for so many media format wins over the past century.

I think the GP is talking about porn's irresistibility among adolescent boys. Their use hurts both themselves and women, by setting bad expectations. You're actually agreeing past one another.. kind of funny considering all the down votes, especially since down isn't supposed to mean "disagree"

Is the GP violating conversational rules or just voicing an opinion perceived as unpopular?

That makes sense to me, was mostly just wondering. I am not disagreeing, the phrasing was just strange so wanted to clarify.
Social media is definitely worse for girls, but most consumers of porn are boys. In any case, setting clear bounds of interactivity is good and it looks like Apple isn't allowing direct porn experiences on Vision Pro because those apps will available through the app store.
