Being sex repulsed and asexual are two very different things.
I’m both asexual and write pornography. I just don’t feel sexual attraction.
My understanding of sexual attraction is limited but I’ve learned to approximate it in my writing by talking with a lot of other porn writers and using my own roughly equivalent experiences to fill the gaps.

Apparently the person I was replying to is both, but declared themselves as asexual, not as sex repulsed.
They might be confused.
I am a victim of multiple instances of violent sexual assault.
Should I get off the internet now?
The Hacker News guidelines regarding choosing strong interpretations apply to you regardless. “I was sexually assaulted” is an opportunity to clear up misunderstandings, not an excuse to comment in bad faith.

Asexuality and even asociality have been effectively forced upon me by my peers. I don't see any viable avenue to express my sexuality the way I had presumed I would get to as an adult.
Imagine forcing asexuality on the vast majority of the people in the World (and in history) that are not asexual.
The remarks around pedophilia sound more like a competitor trying to push an agenda against PornHub that a concerned citizen expressing an informed opinion.
Pedophilia has been traveling on any medium the humans have invented throughout history, I guess if one wanted to fight it by shutting down the platforms delivering it, internet as a whole (and probably TCP/IP as well) would be the first one that would have to go.
