For whatever reason, they keep finding people with hot takes about porn but who don't actually study porn effects, instead they hear something alarming and they decide to echo it.
A guy who has knowledge in analysing images or data is not an expert in sexology. It might be a step up over an "#AI ethics" person with hot takes ...

If someone actually studied it, and they had a bad take, maybe assuming too much bad, then that might be one thing, but you have these people who don't actually know a whole lot (and haven't touched the field) who get consulted as if they have an defining opinion on the matter.
In fact, I don't agree with everything that Dr. Tenbergen says, but at least she actually took the time to do a study, and has some years of experience. If she says something interesting, then I might listen.
But, the "AI ethicist" or the "image analysis guy" is not much better than consulting Gary the computer technician about something he hardly knows about.
