What are some strategies for dealing with this sort of toxic reply? I also feel pornography has its place (alone or with 1 other consenting adult), and parent's refrain is sung far too often by other men.

>or with 1 other consenting adult
Why would the number of consenting adults have any impact?
Pointing out "I am not against X, but ..." is toxic now? There are many instances where this is pointed out instantly, so I do it here too. Just write the second part, without the "but" to stop contradicting yourself.
Saying porn isn't appropriate in some environments isn't the same as "being against porn" (=being generally opposed to it), so there is no contradiction.

Your reply is the toxic one, and you're missing GP's point.
Yeah I get that you believe my reply is toxic. You are wrong there btw.
It wasn't about the point in the first place, rather the "I am not against X, but <statement which contradicts X>" formulation.

You believe phones should only show pornography and no other apps should exist. Thank you for revealing your true character.
