If we are to regulate pornography because it sets up "Insecurity and false expectations about sexuality" then we should treat "romance" media the same way, it gives men empty hope that some Stacy will just fall in love with them because they are "Themselves" (kek), fill your head with sappy and impossible thoughts and in general just feed the delusion of "love" that has ruined, ruins and will ruin so many lives in the future.
Anyone with a functioning brain probably already knows that love doesn't only not exist between modern generations but probably has never existed;Only transactional relationships, we should explain to little boys how hypergamy works and stop lying to them and ourselves that someone will love them just as they are. The other day I was watching My Dress Up Darling and even though it was cute and i liked i couldn't help but think the whole time how unreal and idealized the series is, thinking that someone would never love me as much as Marin does Gojo because that simply isn't real for all of us, that just made me feel smaller and even more worthless than I usually feel the same way porn makes some of us insecure about their bodies, was it my fault? Probably, I choose to watch it even though I knew how it'd make me feel like kinda like smoking a pack of cigs even after seeing the vantablack lungs on the box, this is why we should put disclaimers on romance media about the idealism of these works and (try to) restrict them to people that have the enough mental maturity to know how it is unreal. Will it work? Probably not, the same way how "BuT aRe You oVer 18?" doesn't stop kids from jacking off to whores BUT it'll raise awareness of it that could help those able to grasp it, that and a gradual deprogramming of the ideas(or at least the commercialized version) of "romance" and "love" from our societies could save many people from enormous pain.
