Terry Crews, actor, and host of America’s Got Talent and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? has denounced the website Pornhub and said he wants it defunded.
Dude, no.
Masturbation is healthy, self love is healthy. PornHub gives safe platforms to sex workers–to say nothing of the artists who got kicked off Tumblr–and generates revenue for them.
Are there issues with the industry? Absolutely. Is going after PornHub the answer? No.

The actor posted the Tweet “DEFUND PORNHUB,” attracting a range of responses and over 14,000 retweets.
Porn can be a serious addiction, and can absolutely effect how some people view and handle relationships. That said, porn is still an art form, just like any other videos, movies, books or drawings that get made. It has as much right to exist as other forms of art

Some pointed out that Crews was calling to defund the site when he should be calling to boycott it instead.
Crews included Fight The New Drug in his Tweet, an organization established to help people overcome their addiction to pornography. Their Twitter profile describes them as a “non-religious, non-legislative, research-based nonprofit raising awareness on the harmful effects of porn & exploitation.”
It’s not about being religious. Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality.
But there’s some dehumanizing shit out there against women, men and possibly children!
Kids are being exposed to such content is not good for their mental health and future relations.

Some users online cited The Atlantic and Daily Beast articles which denounced Fight the New Drug’s use of “pseudoscience” to justify their approach.
Others responded with counter-arguments noting it was difficult to trust “scientists” who they deemed to be in the pocket of a million-dollar industry.

Crews’ calls to defund Pornhub echo the catchcry of the ‘Defund the Police’ movement which has been escalating since the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Laila Mickelwait, director of anti-trafficking organization Exodus Cry, has started a petition ‘Shut Down Pornhub and Hold Its Executives Accountable for Aiding Trafficking,’ which has garnered more than 1.5 million signatures.
In February this year, the BBC reported videos of the rape of Rose Kalemba at age 14 ended up on Pornhub. A 15-year-old Florida girl was located after going missing for nearly a year when her mother found explicit videos and photos of her on Pornhub, according to the NY Post.
Earlier this year, Senator Ben Sasse called on the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into Pornhub and its parent company, MindGeek Holding SARL regarding “their involvement in this disturbing pipeline of exploiting children and other victims and survivors of sex trafficking.”
In 2019, Montana became the 13th state to pass a resolution calling pornography a public health crisis and outlining the detrimental effects of porn on brain development.
Dawn Hawkins, executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, compared the harmful impacts of the porn industry to the Tobacco industry in an interview with LifeSite News.
A 2018 poll by U.S. analytics company ‘Gallup’ found 43% of Americans now find pornography morally acceptable, a seven-point increase since 2011.
Posted Video
Crews came out in 2016 and publicly acknowledged his addiction to pornography nearly ended his marriage to wife Rebecca King-Crews.
In a video entitled ‘Dirty Little Secret,’ Crews said pornography “messed up” his life in myriad ways.
“For years, my dirty little secret was I was addicted to pornography … this thing has become … a worldwide problem.
“It really messed up my life in a lot of ways … it was my secret, nobody knew, and that allowed it to grow. And it got bad… some people deny, they say, hey man, you can’t really be addicted to pornography, there’s no way … if day turns into night, and you are still watching, you’ve probably got a problem. And that was me.”
Crews said he ended up in rehab and said porn changed the way he thought and made him see people as “body parts” to be used.
Comments About “Black Supremacy
Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.
Like it or not, we are all in this together.

Crews faced a backlash after making comments about “black supremacy” on Twitter in June.
Crews wrote on June 8, “Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.”
Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworkers. We got 99 problems and your math isn’t the only 1. #StrongerTogether https://t.co/cprFHDQMVJ
— Orlando Jones (@TheOrlandoJones) June 8, 2020
Various activists and comedians called Crews out for the tweet. Actor and comedian Orlando Jones wrote: “Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworker kers. We got 99 problems and your math isn’t the only 1. #StrongerTogether.”
This makes absolutely no sense, makes very Black self-hating assumption that Black folks would actually try to do harm to White people in major ways when there is no proof in the history of any such behavior even remotely close to White supremacist behavior. Please read books, sir.
— Kevin Powell (@kevin_powell) June 8, 2020
In response, Crews wrote, “I was not saying Black supremacy exists because it doesn’t. I am saying if both Black and Whites don’t continue to work together– bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous self-righteousness. That’s all.”
