Moral Dilemma: Porn Or Person?

[wallyj84]

You're in a burning building. To your right is an older man in his mid 50s. To your left is a hard drive with all the porn that has ever existed. You have enough time to save the hard drive or the old man, but not both. Which do you choose?

Something to consider is that through an act of God this hard drive is the only source for pornography. Literally all pornography has disappeared and is now only found on this hard drive. If this hard drive is destroyed, every Lisa Ann scene, Mandingo cumshot, issue of playboy, sexy naked photo, hot cam girl livestream and all other video/images created before the fire started will be gone forever. This is the entirety of porn culture and it can disappear forever depending on what you choose.

So, which do you choose and why?

I need a background check on the old guy.

Human life is more significant than a porn collection.

You can reshoot the porn. You can't rebirth that man. He's the only him there is. Unless he's a mass murderer or some shit, he doesn't deserve to die.

Stupid question.

 

[ronin001]

Wally, are you the older man ion his 50s ? That may be a determining factor, in my actions
Not that I watched porn pre COVID; but I could erase and reformat the hard drive, for something more useful

PS: as you are in America A good portion of all the porn, that has ever existed, is against the LPSG TOS.
Not to mention illegal to posses, barter, trade or view. / punishable to the extent of the Law

Think about it

No, background check. He's just some random guy. He could be a morally upstanding stud or some kind of deviant.

You can't reshoot the porn. This is all the porn that has ever existed. Some of these actors have passed away or aged out of the business. These are moments in time that can never be recreated and are the legacy of some of these people. What is Ron Jeremy without his life in porn? What is Lisa Ann? They are porn and porn is them.

In this scenario all of that immoral porn has been permanently destroyed and the people who like it woke up one day to find their genitals and sex drives mysteriously gone.

No background?

Rando dudes and porn both lead to no end of trouble. Let the fire cleanse it all.

 

[malakos]

I see porn as overall evil and I'm not a misanthrope, so I wouldn't hesitate to save the man. Hopefully he would join me in celebrating the death of porn.

 

[Nick Briggs]

Save that hard drive

Everything ever made, both professional and amatuer, and all the nudies of every hott chick I've ever known ever and never met or yet to meet...

"All The Porn that has ever existed"...

... would contain every nudie ever of allllll those crushes, missed connections, would'uh should'uhs, and missed chances that all us nerd pervs have been jerkin' it to only in our imaginations and being beaten within an inch of our lives by our cocks for not experiencing and missing out on hahaha... but would then be at our fingertips *Cue evil laughter*

The holy grail of hott naked everyone, jackin' material for all time... and to be used to repopulate the internet... personal happiness... perv hero status... enoooormously rich $$$$

The old man will understand and give me the thumbs up.... and who's to say the old man isn't freaking rambo'esk and can save his damn self haha.

A random guy is still a human being. Doesn't his life have some value? You don't think he has family or friends who will miss him once he's gone?

Porn is art. Shouldn't art be valued? For some people pornography is all they have to give their lives meaning. You won't them to be forever without that light in their life?

Why would you let both of these valuable things disappear.

 

[MickeyLee]

I mean, maybe? But...yeah...no.

Porn is end stage toxic consumerism. Rando dudes are statistically awful.

We don't need no water let the mother fucker burn.

A. Why is a guy in his mid-50's considered old? Couldn't you have chosen say a 70 year old man, who is actually older, more helpless and would garner more sympathy? (Yes, I find your choice a personal affront).

B. How can it be an "Act of God" when there is no God?

C. While it may be the death of professional porn (something I'm not into at any rate), how would it be impossible to never again see an image of a nekkid person as long as there are still people on Earth and methods of immortalizing them like cameras or even artists?

With that being said, of course the humane and logical choice would be to choose the not quite old, old man unless one knew definitively he was someone who purposefully had no regard for life himself like any random anti-mask/anti-vax Covidiot or hypocritical politician, in which case the nekkid pictures win out.

Porn doesn't matter. A whole lot of people here might disagree with me, but one living human is absolutely more important than a bunch of recorded sex acts.

I know you said he's random. That means he's not guilty in my eyes of anything. He doesn't deserve to die because you want to watch someone get their face pissed on while you stroke your cock off. (Not saying that's what you're into, just a random example)

This made my fuckin day. Off to a good start.

If porn doesn't matter, then you're saying that Mandingo doesn't matter. You're saying that Lisa Ann doesn't matter. You're destroying both of their legacies their purpose. I can understand valuing the human life more, but you can't just say that porn doesn't matter.

The human beings in the films don't die when the porn burns. So, I have no fucking idea what your argument is here.

Troll along wally-boo-boo

 

[Motion-of-the-Ocean]

The whole premise is faulty (much like most of Wally's) in that it predisposes everyone looks at porn or needs it to satisfy sexual needs. Does the fact there will be no more images of people naked or having sex to masturbate to mean people will stop having sex with each other or not be able to use their imaginations during their solo endeavors? For some, their mental fantasies may be all they have or all they ever needed to begin with.

So you want to hear that porn doesn't matter (especially as compared to human life)? Ok, it doesn't and not everyone places such a high value on it as you.

Sometimes one has to wonder if these musings of yours are really meant to be serious thought experiments or simple brain farts. Maybe it's a little of both.

 

[WilliamG]

I'm 62...

So... I'd take the younger 50 year old. He might become a fwb.

 

[TinyPrincess]

That's actually an easy question. The human being - not because of it being the right choice or god (as if) or morale or any other reason.

Think about it - a world without porn messing up all you guys - a world without porn inches and penis envy. A world without porn teaching guys to be degrading towards women...

Really a no-brainer.

Porn is art.

Porn isn't art. That's an absurd thing to say. They have entirely different purposes.

The purpose of art is to create something of aesthetic value, in such a way that it can be recognized, reflected upon, and appreciated. Classically the aim was to create something beautiful, which would stir a feeling of sublimity. The precise aesthetic value aimed for has become looser in modern art. It could be something revolting the artist wishes to create, instead of beautiful. But the same intentional structure of recognition and appreciation of a representation of aesthetic value remains.

That simply is not the purpose of porn. The purpose of porn is excite the more base senses, i.e. to make the viewer horny. Aesthetic value in the artistic sense is irrelevant to the aim of porn. No reflection or mental appreciation is necessary or relevant for pornography to accomplish its designs. If the viewer gets sexually aroused and is motivated to watch more to self-stimulate, then the porn has been successful.

Of course, such absurd misinterpretations of porn that make it sound more dignified than it really is do help to maintain porn's mainstream, quasi-respected status and appeal. So it makes sense that the porn industry would promote this kind of nonsense.
