    I think the other person is not wording their point correctly. Let me try to word it for them, at the risk of putting words in their mouth.

    It is revealed to a group of 17-18 year old high school boys that their teacher does porn. These boys have access to the internet. What do you think is going to happen next? Obviously what will happen is that someone will look it up, share it, and then it causes a problem. Not because it’s immoral but because you have immature horny creatures bringing something into the school that isn’t appropriate. It’s inappropriate because school is for learning not ridiculing or being sexist towards your teacher for doing porn.

    In a purely practical sense, of teaching students with as little interruptions and interpersonal conflict as possible, it’s easier to not employ the teacher doing porn. It removes a factor of friction in an already tedious and complex job.

    If we lived under communism where a community of parents could take time off of their jobs and go to school with their kids, and the teacher could pause teaching, then we could ensure those kids were taught a valuable life lesson about what is and isn’t appropriate, how to react to porn, and all that. But we don’t live in that society, we live in the one where schools are essentially prisons that double as job training centers. Nobody has the time and we don’t have the material underpinnings of an accepting culture. Thus, teachers who do porn will be fired.

      For the tldr crowd…

      “Its easier to fire a teacher than it is to teach teenagers that sexually harassing a teacher is wrong.”

        Well, I can’t TLDR because everyone in this chain is hypersensitive right now and looking for any room to accuse everyone being secret reactionary sex puritan chuds. Sometimes you have to explain stuff.

        But if anyone here thinks they can convince a local school board to reinstate OnlyFans teacher and give a moving West Wing speech to convince all the kids that porn is actually rizzed up with the sauce, then do it. I mean it’s not like this site has any major differences in opinion on porn anyways. I’m sure we all have the correct true leftist take and can publicly broadcast that message to liberals and reactionaries in a way that actually solves the problem of sexism in Western Culture.
