I 'm not against porn or anything, but i do think porn and sex is overrated in culture (perhaps out of spite for the christian oppression of the past?). Porn is popular, but it's not like it earned it, we are wired to be addicted to it (there's quite a lot of research on the addictiveness of porn). The fact that it's popular and drives a lot of internet traffic does not mean a negative view of porn is wrong. Alcohol and gambling are popular and drive a lot of resources does it mean they are not negative?

You're arguing against a strawman. I didn't say a negative view of porn is wrong. I said SpaceDragon was wrong because he views "anyone who indulges in porn" as uncompetitive, lacking self-control and settles for fantasy. And that's factually wrong.
