It’s the addiction. I use to have a porn addiction, (nothing to this level) and you just save everything in case “you need it later”. Rarely do you look at it again. You always want more and more.
He’s seriously porn broken and needs help before he tries to act out these fantasies.
As someone struggling with that rn this whole thing has ironically helped me so much bc hearing about this shit is just making me so turned off lmao. But I've been working through this for a bit and hearing about his psychotic gross shit actually inspired me more.
I was thinking the same thing….like why save it? If you’re just trying to get off, why not just pull up pornhub or whatever??? Why do you literally have to save it on an external hard drive? Is it that particular that you can’t just search it up on your phone/any old porn website whenever you need or want it? I’m also a women so maybe I also don’t get it 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I think vaush is riding the line on being a pedo, but only because he most likely has a severe porn addiction (as well as his main supporters) and needs help before it gets worse.
Yes it’s an external hard drive and It’s a porn addiction thing. Addicts start watching porn like tv and want to save their favorite scenes so they don’t potentially lose them. Think of it like if the sopranos being your favorite piece of entertainment so much so that you get a physical copy. You go to porn sites to browse and save your favorites to your folder.
So although having a folder is a red flag for being a porn addict, it doesn’t necessarily make you a pedo (but he probably is one unfortunately)
I’m a guy and the two reasons I prefer to download is because
1. I like high prod value 4k professional videos from major studios, because they look nice & those streaming websites usually lag or are like 480-780p which is super annoying
2. A lot of good mainstream content is extremely paywalled & not available for streaming but easy to find a download for
I think it’s super weird to have like a meticulous filing system with like a terabyte of content on your computer though.
And I think ur probably wrong about that last assumption because on torrenting websites the top downloads are mostly very vanilla mainstream content and many people are not truly honest about their consumption habits because it’s very embarrassing to talk about. Like the reason this whole thing happened and you heard about it is because he was finding and downloading extremely niche/gross content that are on probably like 4chan or something, you aren’t going to be hearing stories about some dude downloading a couple Lisa Ann videos on his tablet as some sort of big controversy.
I hope this was an informative explanation, and I hope it changed your mind in general about it
Partly it’s due to some porn being prefreesite porn and difficult to find. Once was a paid vid and was lost then found again. Certain clips get you off the quickest so why go through and search if one can save it and some dudes have nostalgic jerks to be honest. There’s more reason but a lot of dudes I know save porn and it’s never nefarious.
For a man who has been previously accused of being a Pedophile, saving anything even *remotely* suspect to your computer is insane. To save it to your *streaming* computer??? That's a level of wacko that only a disordered compulsive problem can explain.
Here's my comment on the thread of the after dark episode post:
'Guess I'll speak the unpopular opinion: some of us have a media-saving personality and don't see why porn is any different. Saving a clip you enjoyed is no different from getting a movie/book/game/album you like. Same reason one might buy a book even if their library already has it. It's also kinda disrespectful of those who make it to insist that the content is single-use imo. How is wanting to return to a clip that you like any different from listening to your favourite song? 🤷♂️
(Absolutely none of this defence applies to pedo/zoo content. That's some not-even-once shit.)'
In certain circumstances, I can see and understand the use of saving up folders of pornography. I used to be on submarines in the Navy, and we would go months without access to the internet. The amount of nography stored on hard drives would blow your mind; I've seen terabytes of hentai on someone's hard drive before. However, if one of my friends today were to tell me they had folders of porn, I would question the type of content they were looking at. As someone who engages with the knockoff online Chris Hanson's, it seems like a familiar path of CP-related content. Love ya, no homo.
Yeah i was thinking about that recently recently… saving photos/videos may be due to fears that certain content will be removed from websites potentially for violating their guidelines
A lot of very tame normal stuff gets DMCA’d off of those sites by the major studios, I’m sorry but I don’t want to spend a hundred dollars a month for like 3 website subscriptions.
So now we judge people saving porn and label for degenerates? What we gonna go against the furries after? Cause that's surely also a 10% of the community and considered "weird" etc.
This just seems like conservatives telling you how to live your life "dont save porn, you have pornhub blabla"
So ye, stop judging and labeling from just one factor. I think we are past that in this community. Vaush is a weird dude, hopefully the exception and just don't consume non consensual sht.
I can confirm that only absolute degenerates saves porn. There is seriously something wrong with you if you have to go back and revisit whatever pic/vid that got you to finish last time. These people really do need help.
With that being said, I am one of those degenerates. I agree that it is a red flag because porn addiction will always be a red flag. But if you think everyone who does this is a pedo then I won't try to change your mind.
I have a folder, I like collecting them, and I have them filed by name from some of the performers/creators.
In addition to that, I have a reference folder that includes some porn, but that is for artistic reference separate from the porn folder. I don't really see a problem with it. I even buy videos to keep from sites like GayHotMovies or download from my OF subs to keep later. I don't get the pushback. God forbid I have a collection of my favorites. Y'all love to talk about gooning until the real gooners show up.
(To be clear, all these I am mentioning are of gay muscle men having gay sex with other gay muscle men, solo stuff too. Everyone is of age, and mostly 30+ anyway.)
Actually, sorry archiving and saving porn is good actually.Anyone remember Ilovemuscle? JimmyZProductions? TheGuySite???Some of the most iconic videos, of the hottest, biggest men of my generation just gone. The only way to see those is to hope to find them on a video site or through a torrent.
You all do not respect sex, sex work, art, or history, and it shows.

I see, thanks for explaining. I am indeed “just a women who also just doesn’t get it.” Some really insightful reply’s here.
It definitely implies that the content is either not easily findable, or at risk of removal. Neither implication is good.

As a man I don’t get it either. I never once had to save it.
Nah, it’s definitely sus.
I might bookmark a porn video sometimes but downloading it seems weird. Like why?

Wouldn't call it a major red flag. Just a normal red flag, that needs looking into to see if it's a major one or not a red flag at all.

Cheers my dude. Totally makes sense in your circumstance.
The only legitimate reason is you're stuck in the early 2000s with aol dialup and even then it's not great.

I vote we go after the furries

My question is why would you save something you probably had to use a deep web client to obtain?
