All they care about is their love of porn, the chance to glare, get a peek, and that's all folks. The rest can go to hell. And so anyone that even remotely, in the most minimal way criticizes porn (such as I just did), becomes their personal, most heinous enemy #1 because they take it so personally, and see it as a personal criticism of their private and public habits and obsessions, as if others were pointing the finger at their private obsession and threatening to take away something that has become, like air, so very important to them.
But the fact is, that porn does damage the people involved, and that it attracts damaged people, and makes their already messed up lives an even uglier little mess.
