Why Virtual Pornography Must Also Be Banned

When men acknowledge the real-world harm of pornography involving actual women—ranging from exploitation and trafficking to abuse—some call for a pivot to so-called “harmless” alternatives: hentai, AI girlfriends, sex dolls, or other forms of virtual porn. These, they argue, are victimless. But this is a lie. Virtual pornography does not eliminate the problem—it simply digitizes and distorts it. These technologies continue to commodify women, shape harmful ideas about femininity, and feed male depravity in increasingly unrestrained ways.

Virtual pornography is not a solution. It is the same disease with a different mask.

Fantasy Isn’t Harmless—It Reflects Reality

Hentai is often riddled with depictions of rape, incest, and the sexualization of minors—content that has been used by predators to groom girls in real life. The line between fantasy and real-world intent isn’t as firm as many believe. These animated horrors normalize abuse and warp male perception of sex and power, particularly for young boys being socialized online. Even outside of explicit hentai, the influence bleeds into mainstream anime, making many otherwise worthwhile anime stories unwatchable for women.

Virtual porn doesn’t cleanse men of their worst impulses. It amplifies them. If no human is present, men feel even more entitled to indulge the most grotesque scenarios with no guilt. It gives them free rein to rehearse control, domination, pedophilia, and rape—things they carry in their minds back into the real world.

Sex Dolls and AI Girlfriends Aren’t Harmless, Either

Sex dolls and AI “companions” teach men that a woman’s value lies solely in her sexual availability and obedience. These products are designed to never say no, never speak back, never assert boundaries. They promote the idea that a woman’s body is an object to consume—and that true companionship is not something mutual, but something programmable.

This conditioning hurts all women. It tells young girls growing up that their worth is measured by how well they please men. It feeds body dysmorphia, encourages dangerous cosmetic procedures, and keeps women chasing an impossible ideal shaped by a male fantasy engine.

Fantasy Does Real Damage

This isn’t just theory—it’s reality. The more virtual pornography men consume, the more they internalize a misogynistic worldview that reduces women to pleasure tools. We’ve already seen how this affects male behavior. From Reddit forums to Discord chats to incel communities, virtual porn is not “relief”—it’s training. It builds a worldview where women’s needs, rights, and even consent are optional.

Ask yourself: Can girls truly grow up free when their very image is being sold, simulated, and sexualized by machines?

The media men consume reflects what they believe. Someone who wants to simulate rape in virtual form still desires control and violation. There is no magical barrier between the screen and reality.

We Don’t Ban It to Protect Men—We Ban It to Liberate Women

Some might argue that virtual porn could at least stop men from bothering real women. But it doesn’t. It just adds new layers of depravity. Banning virtual pornography isn’t about moral panic. It’s about survival. It’s about protecting girls’ mental health, self-worth, and future.

Imagine a world where girls could focus on education, relationships, art, and joy—without being warped by a system that tells them they are never good enough unless they are sexualized. No more calorie-counting to be “fuckable.” No more makeup routines designed to simulate a porn face. No more fear of being judged through a lens trained on hentai and AI breasts.

Virtual pornography must be banned—not because men deserve better, but because women do.

Let us imagine a world where girls grow up without being shaped by male fantasy, where they can live freely as themselves.
