EDIT:
In regard to quoted comments above:
I guess I was trying to discredit the notion that they are meant to be arousing us and rebel against it somewhat, by making it clear the perspective is wrong.
I was deliberately challenging the extollation they have received by being posted for our gratification.
Also remember these are people who put themselves up for public display, people i don't know or ever will. So I don't feel so bad about presenting stark critique.
I'm trying to dispel the eulogisation which they are seeking, and people are falsely giving them.
Though I will accept it is a sensitive issue and that particular post was extremely flippant. I did admit to semi-trolling a comment or 2.
As I said before, I know how incredibly sensitive the ego is and this most likely has a role to play in the production of these pictures... which is why I say gawping over the pictures is wrong and ignorant, people are more complicated and should be viewed as such.

And - as Marmz has pointed out a number of times - wrong in more than one way. You may be the one thinking there's some kinda moral superiority in regularly pointing out the problems with aspects of the porn industry, but you're also the one spilling wildy offensive, sexist, objectifying comments about women in almost every post.
You haven't really answered my post and your accusations that my incentive for concern is to feel some kind of "moral superiority" just isn't so. I'm only trying to present the truth and create awareness of the circumstances and repercussions of these pictures as I see it.
if my posts are read properly, I think it's clear that I'm trying to empathise with people involved and look for reasons why and not to judge them:~

AND you can't blaim 'em completely. We all like to feel desirable, it's human nature. It's re-assuring, builds confidence etc. I was living with a model recently and she was a lovely person, really nice person. Bit screwed up, but kind in heart!
Is that really seeking moral superiority!?
You tend to ignore a lot of the content of my posts and keen to demonise me by focussing on the
one post which did come across a bit careless (for reasons I explained above)
