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.

I am astonished how you even came to that nonsense.
