My Life Isn't Your Porn: Why South Korean Women Protest

This comment seems to hit all the bad rhetoric hot points. You've misrepresented parent's point, attacked a straw man, and also somehow made a slightly racist argument that Koreans are interchangeable with Chinese and Japanese.

The point is that banning pornography might be creating a niche market that bad actors are happy to exploit.

I have no idea if it's true. But the argument isn't saying the behavior is rational and there was no claim made about the deep biological needs for porn.

Please engage with good faith and measured tone.

I think what he is saying is that if you ban pornography, the only people who can make it will be criminals---and criminals will commit further crimes as (a) there is no psychological barrier to them doing so and (b) their 'consumers'/'customers' are already consuming illegal material, so can unsurprisingly further fetishize criminal behavior.

It would be better/easier to allow for pornography but strictly regulate it to a degree that incentivizes the moral production of it.

No, I mean that by banning porn creates an illegal market for it. Supply and demand.

> I mean, there is certainly no great lack of porn available online, so simply reuploading some chinese or japanese flicks seems a far more sane response than hiding cameras in public restrooms.

There's a great lack of _korean_ porn. I know the world is very america centric in terms of media, but if you're from another culture, you're more likely to identify with culturally relevant media, including porn. But this is besides the point, the internet in korea is censored and bans, among other things, porn. You need to use a VPN service if you want to access porn websites.

Look I'm not saying these women are wrong. Of course people breaking into other peoples houses/rooms and filming them is not right. But the same happens everywhere. I remember reading a story some years ago about an american man that owned a motel and he setup hidden cameras to watch other people getting it on. America is as fucked up in that sense too. But these are not the cases we're trying to combat, there's nothing much we can do about them since it's a complex scenario. What we're trying to get rid of is the casual creeps that have no idea what a VPN is and want to whack off to something they can identify with. Having them be creeps on their computer/phones in their private space is better than having them look for excitement by abusing other people's privacy.
