    The comment it was in response to said

    Pretty sure people would make porn and share it in a communist society too.

    Responding to that specifically with

    if some people are so invariably into consuming porn, i would suggest they opt for capitalism

    when Ottoboy also said elsewhere

    online pornography, which commodifies the most intimate and shared human experiences, and only serves to further atomize and alienate us from each other and ourselves, sucks.

    Ottoboy didn’t say “commercial pornography” or “the pornography industry.” If Ottoboy had, I wouldn’t have given the comment a second thought. But they said pornography. Period. All-inclusive. Relegating any exceptions to the realm of a (clearly hypothetical) liberated society. As in, everything from the front page of PornHub to a naked drawing of someone’s original character that they share with a Discord server of 10 people goes in the same bucket.

    How do you read “if you obsessively consume porn, probably capitalism is for you because it will produce a greater variety of porn” and see… That?!

    1. People tend to support their material interests.
    2. This comment is saying it is in the material interest of those who use porn to support capitalism.
    3. Ottoboy’s comments in that thread do not allow for any level of acceptable existence or use.
    4. Therefore people who use any amount of porn will have an interest in upholding capitalism.
    5. Therefore, they are likely to support capitalism (see #1).
    6. Therefore they are, as a group, counter-revolutionary.
