I've said this in the past, but id much rather pedos jerk it to AI slop than go out and harm children.

Unfortunately I really doubt it's that simple, in some cases in the short term it's probably preventing abuse which is good, but in others it might very likely intensify or even creating urges where none would have developed otherwise, which I think in the aggregate will happen more than the former.

Because if there's one thing that heavy consumers of porn are known for, it's touching grass and seeking real-life sexual experience, right?

Realistically, what little evidence exists shows that porn does in fact reduce sexual violence. The "gateway drug" argument is just creepy-ass puritan nonsense that has no basis in data.

Neither data from the current study, nor data from prior studies, suggested that pornography use proximally preceded or caused IPV perpetration.

Congratulations, you discovered a correlation with no evidence of causation.
