Sigh, maybe I shouldn't have taken the ragebait and just lived my life.

Famously the US government (well, the supreme court, but let's not pick nits) defined (hardcore) pornography as "I know it when I see it" so lol

Well, to be honest, this is kinda true. It's easy to say that porn is filmed sex acts, but not every filmed sex act is porn. Hell, porn doesn't even have to contain anything most people would consider sexy. I once stumbled upon a video of a woman sitting on cakes. This doesn't obviously look like porn, but you could just feel the "porny" vibes radiating off it. Even pictures of feet can be porn, so I kinda like that definition.

It is absolutely true, but horrible basis on a legal system.
