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”?

Porn actually, for some reason, started to imply excess of a type of content. However, its definition says it refers to explicit and vulgar content.
I think the OG coomers managed to change this definition in urban/slang usage, and I do think it is creative and self explanatory. There should not be a “moral” discussion on this, as it is not normalising the creation and usage of explicit porno content itself, but meaning the excess and obsession of whatever topic it is added to as suffix.
To me, it looks like the word “porn” got liberalised as a suffix by all kinds of liberals.
Yeah. Sorry for having overreacted quite a bit.
