"for every study maligning porn, another clears its name"
That is because it is (or was) subject to the scientific bandwagon effect where someone felt compelled to look for all kinds of "links" to "bad things".

And then, someone else has to come in with a better methodology to correct that.

https://www.utsa.edu/today/2020/08/story/pornography-sex-crimes-study.html
A meta analysis from 2020 of 59 studies which tried to look for a link between pornography and sex crimes and couldn't find one.

It found studies which found a "link" failed to control for factors which might make it appear as if there is a link when there is not.

They also found tell-tale signs of p hacking and citation bias.

Studies which followed best practices didn't find this.
Population level studies showed more pornography was associated with lower crime.

They closed by calling for more research to be done.

It's interesting one researcher is from Texas given how anti-porn the politicians can be there.

Goodnight. #anime

EFF covers the awful proposed cybercrime treaty again (it's a human rights disaster). They make good points.

#introduction

Hi everyone! New to the mastodon-verse (clearly)!

I'm a #phd #historian working in #technology and loving it. You'll find my posts range from academic pursuits to anime and geek fandom to technology (and whatever else strikes my fancy).

I have a lot to learn and I'm excited to get down to it.

I FINISHED ANOTHER #GUNDAM KIT! this time it's Aerial who gets to join the Witch from Mercury #gunpla club (along with founding member Lftith)! Next is Aerial Rebuild then Calibarn. #anime all of these so far are the HG kits. #model #kit #modelkit

I Was Run Over By Truck-kun, and Now the Goddess is Sending Me to an Anime World of My Choice. Wait?! Why Are There Only Isekai Anime to Choose From?!?

If you haven't figured out the theme of this #anime #poll for what I watch next, it's all about Isekai anime!

I put my anime list on random, and selected the first 8 isekai shows that popped up. This time I'm allowing multiple choice to see how the results go.

Please boost!

It's funny how it's literally a naval ship but in space.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 was an interesting remake of the original. Sci-fi ship action. #anime
