It's been so long since I posted in this thread, and it's gotten SO much crazier in here, lol.
I'm going to reiterate some things I posted in this thread a long time ago, because I think recent thread participants could benefit from them.
I think hating the IRL person (commissioner and/or artist) is bad, but I also don't believe it's entirely harmless for stories like this to be so prevalent in porn.
We consume porn in a completely different way from how we consume other media. When you watch The Joker blow up a building in a movie, you aren't fantasizing about doing it yourself at all, and you aren't associating it with an orgasm. It's a totally different way of engaging with a piece of media.
It's worth mentioning that even normal, non-pornographic media affects the people who consume it. It doesn't affect people in a "monkey see, monkey do" sort of way. Instead, the subconscious mind tends to take in what it's seeing as though it's real, and that trickles down into decision-making.
For example, if you watch a lot of crime dramas, then when surveyed, you will probably estimate that crime is more common than if you didn't frequently consume that media, and you might be more likely to buy a gun for self-defense or something like that.
I think it's worth worrying about where someone's mind will go if they feel/believe that this kind of behavior is more common.
I don't think a person who frequently consumes porn like this is necessarily more likely to actually ACT this way. There probably ARE a few people who genuinely want to act like this, and they might be more likely to act on the impulse if they think this behavior is normal, but I suspect that's rare.
Instead, I'm more concerned about how this comic portrays the female characters as unfaithful, untrustworthy, and desiring to be dominated. That's basically red-pill ideology in a nutshell, and I think it's absolute brain-poison for lonely young men, which... You know... *gestures to everyone in this thread*
