Animals hunt other animals, so it makes no sense to outlaw it for humans. It makes to sense to ban something that is a part of Nature to protect Nature. But perhaps limits on hunting will be executed more vigorously in the 1T, to prevent species from becoming endagered. In the 2T, the limits should stay the same, but in the 3T I'd expect a lot of uncontrolled hunting by fierce neo-Lost lads.

I already see a reaction to it. It is not innocuous material. It can debase human relationships by distorting sexuality into something unpleasant. The suicide rate among those involved in its production as "stars" is astronomical. Men who use it have a high likelihood of debasing women into sex objects, even to her sexual organs to the exclusion of all other attributes of her personality. Gentle erotica and artistic depictions of nudity may not qualify as pornography because such would automatically pass the "Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, and Scientific (SLAPS) criteria that have typically distinguished licit pornography from the rest. Now anything seems to go.
What may be legally tolerated might not remain socially tolerated. I might not want to get involved in someone heavily enmeshed in pornography as a "collector".
This will be likely the dominant thinking among neo-Missionary women, who will develop this attitude against catching their fathers spanking the monkey in front of their smartphones. For millennials, porn is an accepted "bad habit" like smoking was for the GIs.
Animals hunting other animals does not justify humans hunting other humans. Humans are different and an individual human life has too great a value just to be a victim of sport hunting and gun obsession.
Porn and sexual perversion as well as abortion and divorce should be and probably are decreasing, just as crime has been decreasing as we reach toward the early 1T, in accordance with the saeculum. "What may be legally tolerated might not remain socially tolerated", and that's how it should be in my opinion. But then, I'm basically an early 2T kinda guy.
