    I do wonder whether regular porn on reddit and lemmy are generally ok, since it lools like the people choose to post the content and are verified.

      Technically, I’d say yes. If I had the money to buy the stuff I’d need to make the kind of porn I like, I’d do it, and I think that’d be perfectly acceptable porn. Just adults having fun and sharing it online. There’d also be genuine emotion / lust in it, which would address the issue of objectification mentioned in the video essay. But I don’t know enough about porn / gonewild subs and communities and their vetting processes. And the subs that feature my kinks don’t have any verification process at all, other than an “OC” flair that anybody can use.

      This might sound silly (and it’d probably be impossible to implement), but if porn had something like vegan labels (this or this), a label that says “We looked into it and gave it this label so you don’t have to worry about it,” that’d make things a lot easier.
