"Porn consumption is an individual choice"="drug consumption is an individual choice". Without making an exact equation (cause women are not dead substances) there can be severe adverse effects on other people in your environment and there often are during the production process.
Like porn doesn't drop from the sky. It has to be made. There's usually at least 1 other person behind the camera. Often a whole team. Often there's a pimp involved. Then there are the distributors. You realize this about drugs (I hope) - you have to understand the same for porn.
If you smoke weed ur cousin grew on a balcony- don't care. If you're consuming drugs distributed by organized crime - there's tangible ethical concern. If you read erotica ur friend wrote - don't care. If you're consuming porn, you cannot be sure smn wasn't traumatized to make it
Obvs many types of drugs are way more harmful to the consumer than porn and people do drugs often out of pain and distress - so consumption is not a choice for many. Although porn consumption for my generation isn't really an individual choice either, we are socialized into it...
...and while the government may be able to grow weed or poppies under controlled conditions or make drugs in a lab to an extend, it cannot "grow" women for the sex trade, they have to be recruited from the local poor or come in/be brought in from abroad to fill the demand.
So, both of these issues are quite complex and I am and can not be covering it all here. That's the point of the thread: Whatever is being consumed - you study the consumer, their environment and the production process. It's so not about "does individual x feel good consuming y".
