That depends on which online spaces you frequent. Ones like HN, which have a higher proportion of male users, will be statistically more likely to have commenters who engage in habitual pornography consumption and are vocally opposed to the OSA on this basis.

Sorry to burst your bubble but porn use and addiction is a massive problem among women nowadays too.

FWIW the male spaces I'm in are supportive of porn bans.

These are exactly the types of rhetorical strategy we see from authoritarians.

You don't like our privacy violating laws? Well that's because you're a nasty disgusting pervert. You don't want to be a little pig man do you? Great, then support our law!
