pornography

Pornography is the depiction of the sexual nature intended to arouse the person. Legal and personal definitions of pornography differ. Some include erotica in the definition of pornography, while some include pornography in the definition of erotica. Others consider them to be a distinct, although sometimes overlapping, entity. Pornography is a huge problem because it can lead to widespread sexual exploitation of children, if the government makes kidpr0n legal a little while later children all over the world would be sexually exploited in order to make a profit.

Anarchist view of pornography

In the contemporary society pornography has become an industry that exploits its workers, culturally dominates communities, and perverts views of sexuality and sexual identity. As such most anarchists oppose and work to abolish this industry. This doesn't imply that all anarchist are “anti-porn”, in reality the movement does not have a single view of the role of pornography in the free society. Although anti-pornography legislation is often viewed as the form of censorship, some anarchists chose to argue that pornographic depictions often consumerise sexuality and objectify people involved. Counterargument to that would be that the described is the characteristic of the current culture and not of pornography as the whole.
