    I hate when the word "porn" is used in a non-sexual context, usually meant to emphasize and indicate that whatever word precedes the "porn" is in abundance or is glorified. It's often used for comedic effect. Some examples I would like to provide are the subreddits "foodporn", "spaceporn", and "mapporn". Foodporn is all about food, spaceporn is all about space, and mapporn is all about maps. None of the subreddits have anything to do with porn. Again, they are using the word porn to be humorous.

    It just really, really, REALLY fucking irks me seeing this use of the word porn so nonchalantly like it's no big deal. Just another example of society's general acceptance of pornography. It's so fucking weird to me. People find it funny and edgy. It's fucking cringe and vomit-inducing.

    I take your point. I would use the word in a negative sense. Porn sites are full of overstimulating sexual images that harm people's mental health so anything with the word porn in it means it will overstimulate you and affect your mental health.

    Another word I hate being used is sexy. I've heard quite a lot of pundits describe good teams as being sexy which is just stupid.

    A silly joke to them is a trigger to people with addiction problems. Best to just keep away.
