Frankly I believe the whole “warps the mind of men to abuse women” is total nonsense.

I’ve watched plenty of porn in my life, probably a bit more than average. I’ve never done anything out of the norm or unwanted to woman, let alone abuse one.

I think shitty people will be shitty people and it’s just a really easy thing to point at instead of taking responsibility for it. It’s also a convenient plausible sounding correlation for people who already want to ban porn to use.

If you change the argument to "can warp the mind of some men", it becomes much harder to falsify.

I can see the argument for a “correlation vs causation “ argument, but I’m not a social scientist.

Agreed. It’s like the argument that video games cause shooters.

Umm, I played plenty of GTA growing up and I’ve never stolen a car. People are actually very good at separating fantasy from reality, believe it or not.
