Coming clean: can porn be virtuous?
This week, Pornhub launched a campaign to raise awareness about plastic pollution: a porn video set on a dirty, plastic bottle-littered beach. Titled 'The Dirtiest Porn Ever,' the porn giant has promised to donate a portion of the money from views to an ocean cleanup charity — incentivizing people into watching porn. As if people don’t watch enough already. It’s not the first time that a pornography company has attempted to brand itself as virtuous. Pornhub even has an entire charity page on its website called Pornhub Cares. Saving the bees, conserving endangered pandas, helping women pursue an education, and planting trees are just a handful of campaigns that Pornhub has run over the past few years.
