Exposed: The Rise of Extreme Porn and How We Fight Back

What would porn look like without patriarchy?

Around half of British men watch it regularly. With minimal content moderation, porn sites proudly showcase the most horrifying aspects of the human imagination for all to see whether you're searching for it or not.

The consequences transcend our screens. Porn addiction runs rampant. Revenge porn is ruining womens lives a threat only magnified by the development of deepfakes and AI. Boys are bored by physical intimacy. Girls are being choked. An entire generations sexual education is being delivered via Pornhub; fantasies moulded and manipulated by violent, degrading, misogynistic and racist ideals. This isnt just porn, its patriarchal porn. And its everywhere.

Big Porn casually platforms the most extreme content you can think of. By allowing this in the mainstream, we are sustaining the conditions under which sexual violence thrives in the real world. If we care about gender equality, we have to address this now. KC Clare McGlynn has already helped criminalise rape porn as a searchable category. In Exposed, she explores how we can realistically resist this exploitation of desire despite Big Techs limitless greed.
