Why is there a “porn” suffix? I understand we of the Lemmy community are in a “Reddit emulation”-phase right now, but this is silly (imo). Why not something like “Abandoned Place Photography”?

There is a long tradition of using “porn” as a suffix for things. Disaster Porn, Torture Porn (a subset of horror movies, not a PornHub category), Scenery Porn, Costume Porn, etc.
Is it a bit puerile or juvenile? Sure. But it’s not something that’s likely to change and it’s not something that’s really harming anybody. If it really bugs you, don’t subscribe and set up an alternative group.
