Again (though I really am going to leave this after reiterating) the issue is in not accepting that pornography is both individually harmful to the women in the industry and societally harmful in the product that results from the industry. You might not agree with the second part, but I have to put that down to willfully not actually looking into the industry or the effects of pornography consumption. It's not guesswork it's just, as you say, what is true.
Are children exploited and harmed in sweatshops, yes. Are people in fact exploited by all industry, yes. But (generally speaking, though there will he exceptions) no one is then further harmed by the product created. You cannot say the same about pornography. The evidence is vast. It is societally harmful. The objectification of women is societally harmful and directly leads to individual harm. Would it "happen anyway"? Sadly, yes. Does porn contribute to it happening more, and some of what happens. I'm sorry but the inconvenient FACT is that yes, it does. To others not involved in the industry. It is different.
