From the very beginning I said this was typical "backward savages can't handle our modern world" bigoted bullshit that has been a staple of both news and fiction for literally centuries.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I assumed they were just like us.
They are, which is why they're not all addicted to porn despite what people might tell you about those backward savages and their unquenchable sexual appetites.
Err, I'd argue that lots of the rest of us have "unquenchable sexual appetites" and in that way it would be completely normal for a number of them too as well.
The whole "porn addiction" thing was just the latest entry in centuries of "the hot-blooded natives are sex-obsessed" bigotry about anyone who has the temerity to not adhere to a Western, Christian way of life. There's a reason this was most widely-reported on in Conservative outlets.
You're underscoring the reality we now know. I'm not disputing that. I'm saying the whitewashed view that a good chunk of America isn't also "hot blooded" and "sex obsessed" is the implied lie from the christian community.
