Andrea Dworkin pointed out what's wrong with p0rn long ago and how it's violent and demeaning towards women. It's far worse now than an innocent Playboy centerfold of a woman with a nice figure, from when I was young.

The men who make porn don't care that they are abusing and hurting women. Not wearing a mask, and refusing to protect others from possible infection, is the same kind of authoritarianism and lack of empathy seen in porn. Same basic urge to hurt and control others, and damned what anyone else thinks or cares about.
