I don’t think this will be an issue with the regulars, but because I’m paranoid about some random users coming in, it’s okay to be gay or transgender or whatever you identify as. Saying otherwise is bigotry, rule 1.

      Don’t you think conversion therapy (which is clearly the intention here) is a bad thing?

        Conversion therapy is forced. No one is forcing the “party of purity” to watch gay porn.

            If you click on the video to watch it that’s explicit consent.

            If you want to argue that the video being presented as an option is non-consensual conversion therapy, then we both have a massive lawsuit to put together, and I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

              Its the intent that is the problem, and thats done without consent. Its one thing to have a generic engagenent algorithm, thats expected, its another thing to try conversion therapy.

                It’s totally cool for you to admit you tug it occasionally to another hot dude. It doesn’t make you gay. You don’t have to feel bad and commit your life to conservatism in order to punish others instead of yourself.

        Is pornhub coming into your house tying you to the chair and forcing you to wank to gay/trans porn until you are willing to do it on your own.

        Despite them having no motive to do this, and porn recommendations being a very obviously ineffective way of accomishing this goal, converting straight people is clearly the intention here. Even though they would lose viewership from straight men who are fed up with inaccurate recommendations, its completely worth it to them because the prospect of there being more gay people than there used to be is inherently more valuable to a corporation than money is.

    If you go to a porn website, and they suggest a gay porn video, and you choose to engage in that content and masterbate to it, I don’t think you were converted, you were already curious / closeted.

    I am one of those turned queer by pornhub. It started one night as I searched for white on white missionary Protestant porn for procreation purposes only. I found a trans woman with large breasts obscured by exactly 0 crucifixes, eyes of azure, and testicles as smooth as a lamb’s throat. Since that day, I’ve been chasing the high. I fear that I may one day see a man pull out, spattering the ground with his wasted seed to defy god’s plan for a rural Christian ethnostate. And I fear more that I will enjoy it. God save me, the devil’s got hold of me again.

      My gf swears her brother is gay because he drank soy formula. I had to explain to her he’s gay because he’s gay. It’s not because of soy, I mean it’s possible but most likely it’s just the way he is. He is also ten times more conservative than I am.

          How so does it require reconciling? It’s not as if whatever causes being gay also causes leftism or something. Being gay is just who he is, not the determination of what he believes

              I mean by best friend is trans and my gf brother is gay. I would say we treat them like anyone else.

              Conservatives are not a monolithic group like liberals. Most of don’t care if someone is lgbt.

            Exactly. He just happens to sexually attracted to men. That doesn’t change his views on the constitution, crime, etc. I didn’t even know for years he was gay. He doesn’t hide it. It just never came up

    The context of the recording: a humorous remark.

    I’m bi, and even when I was on PornHub, I didn’t get to see much gay or trans porn without actively looking for them in their own categories. Same on all other sites. Live feeds of newly uploaded materials are often mostly gay, but due to low-effort and mass-produced content from them.

      The quote doesnt seem humorous to me. Sounds like theyre trying conversion therapy.

      Wheres the joke in “Think about it: Let’s say you’re 12 years old, you’re still figuring out your sexuality, maybe even your gender, wouldn’t it be helpful to see, not a celebration but just maybe a normalization of something that you think is what you want?”

        The issue is 12 year olds having access to porn at all.

        On the other hand, I had access to porn in middle school…when the internet was just getting started…sooo…who am I to say it’s a problem? lol

          It’s not a problem. Rather, exposure to sex isn’t. I’m not going to get into if modern porn is harmful. But sex isn’t a traumatic thing. It’s one of the things everyone who wants to gets to experience in their lives.

            Yeah, but porn through Pornhub, or generally porn as a business, with all the awful incentives of businesses, is absolutely a problem.

            I get wanting to have sex. Been there. But the fulfillment of sex through porn is like the fulfillment of nourishing your body by eating junk food: it only hurts you. And both industries, porn and junk food, are intended to get you addicted and coming back for more.

      No, I just have faith that the regulars, including you, arent going to pull that shit.

      And no, this isnt transpeople are dangerous. This is pornhub trying to do their version of conversion therapy. I doubt anyone involved in this is lgbtq, and if someone involved is, their sexuality/identity is completely irrelevant to the fact that Pornhub is trying conversion therapy.

      I’m worried about some asshole finding this post and thinking he has a new home.

      That and just putting a reminder by itself would have lead to some to think this place is homophobic or something, because why have the warning if its not an issue.

      And no reminder at all would probably had everyone thinking we are homophobic.

    The real L here is that people still use pornhub. It’s like, the worst of the porn sites ever since they deleted like 90% of their catalog
