Candace Owens Calls for Pornography Ban, Labels it a “Psychological Weapon”

Candace Owens, a prominent conservative commentator, has sparked considerable debate with her recent anti-pornography statements on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Owens, who has repeatedly criticized the pornography industry, recently intensified her campaign, claiming that pornography is designed to weaken men.

In a post that has attracted over 8.9 million views, Candace Owens argued, “Ban pornography. It is a psychological weapon intended to weaken our men.”

The post has ignited a firestorm of responses, with thousands of comments both supporting and opposing her views.

Candace Owens continued her discourse in a subsequent post, reaching out to men who struggle with pornography: “You were the intended victims of it. Don’t feel ashamed talking about it. Knowing that it’s wrong is a great first step.”

She also made controversial claims about the origins and intentions behind pornography. “Pornography was created as a tool of enslavement, not freedom.

It was created by the most depraved among our human race to psychologically introduce homosexuality, paedophilia, and incest—religious sacraments to Satanists. BAN IT & stigmatize every person who defends or profits from it,” she stated.

Earlier this year, Owens announced her conversion to Catholicism, following her marriage to George Farmer, CEO of the conservative social media app Parler and a devout Catholic himself.

Her religious beliefs have increasingly influenced her political and social commentary.

Owens also critiqued the evolving nature of pornography, suggesting that it is becoming increasingly depraved: “Every year the porn offered becomes more depraved. They introduce young-looking boys and girls, trannies, etc., while simultaneously teaching kids in government-run schools that it’s ‘healthy’ to watch porn,” she added.

Her comments on X, where platform owner Elon Musk advocates for free speech, continue to fuel ongoing debates about the role of pornography in society and its psychological impacts.
