One of the more uncomfortable parts of the anti-sex movement is how much of it is an unholy union of sex-negative feminists and social conservatives. It’s distressing how far people can get just throwing around accusations of trafficking and child exploitation.
I recently witnessed a porn (discussion) thread on r/feminism get absolutely nuked, so I went to check the undelete archive and all the deleted comments were basically queer people, nsfw artists, and others defending porn. The mods only left the comments that were critical of porn and basically wiped everything else. It really caught me off guard because I didn’t expect such a prominent feminist subreddit to be run by swerfs.
I could also talk about the sex-negativism to social conservatism pipeline for pretty long.
Most right-wing zoomers I know got pulled in partly thanks to that, although it’s never just a simple solution (and many that aren’t negativists also get sucked in unfortunately).
Trafficking is a thing a massive horrible thing, but like prohibition led to mobsters with alcohol sales, prohibition of sex trade makes trafficking easier
(I am not going to say legalisation makes it go away as even sex positive countries it is still.a problem, but it can help to b regulated and allow whistle blowing

Meanwhile the Catholic Church is still a thing…

if I remember correctly that sub is run by a misogynist man, along with /women.
