(Jewish Group) The antisemitic conspiracy behind the anti-porn movement

No one looks to porn for its great morals and upstanding behavior; even ethically-made porn, which ensures respect, safety and good pay for everyone on set, can depict BDSM scenes that (consensually!) hurt or humiliate the participants, which many people find troubling. Mainstream porn sites, meanwhile, struggle to regulate revenge porn and underage porn, and often feature videos about incest.

So it wasn’t surprising when the organization Fighting Online Antisemitism (FOA) released a statement in August saying that they had found antisemitic porn videos trending on several sites, including videos roleplaying a scene of Nazi soldiers raping Jewish women.

It’s even less surprising that the videos have not been taken down — it almost seems naive to bother asking. Racism is an accepted norm in mainstream pornography, reinforced by race-based genre tags that promote the content to search engines, including multiple categories devoted to stereotyping Black performers, such as “Ebony,” “BBC” and “interracial.”

By comparison, there is no category for “Jew” or “Jewish” on Pornhub and the search does not autofill, implying that a Jewish fetish is either actively blocked by the site or else is not frequently searched; the videos flagged by FOA were on lesser-known sites.
