Frankly, I'm for banning porn altogether. I'm not going to cry about this.
For the same reason we ban cocaine, heroin, and other hard drugs.
I've thought about it plenty and concluded that there is no reason porn should be legal. It has no artistic merit, and psychologically harms both the creators and the viewers.

As I tried explaining to the OP, Pornography isn't in any way like drugs. And if it's about being addictive, so is adrenaline and sugar, but does that mean should we outright ban sports and pie as well?

What was found on certain walls in certain buildings in Pompeii. What can now be done by AI.
You can cry whilst trying to figure out what you’re going to do about it personally, OP.
Not everyone who drinks alcohol becomes addicted to it. Not everyone who gambles becomes addicted to it. Not everyone has the same psychological reaction to porn, or pot, or cocaine. Life is not “one size fits all.” You have no gounds to determine what does and does not harm a person, either consumer or creator.

Reminds me that in that same discussion there is another user who acts like porn is the biggest blight on our current culture. Seeing it “disgusting and perverse”, they considered it overall even worse of a blight than (and I quote myself) “hate speech, AI art, fake news, government censorship, and social media in general” and doesn’t seem to realize how old pornography is…
Artistic merit is very subjective, but you would like to impose your lack of awareness on everybody else by criminalizing what has been part of human cultures forever, reminding of the fact that sex and art are universal for humans. Are you about to crack down on "degenerate art" next?
Where is the evidence for your false promise that erotic art and expression always harms everybody? If you believe that you are affected by an addiction, you can consult. That's not most people.
It's probably important to also remember that high control authoritarian and exploitative groups also historically use sex as part of the means to subjugate.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
