I was browsing Reddit and I discovered many subreddits named after foo-porn, to name just a few:
It seems that foo-porn means nice picture/gif/video of foo, which are absolutely suitable for work. As far as I know however, usually "porn" means "pornography". Actually, searching the keyword porn with Bing.com even gives me something like:
Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content. To learn more about SafeSearch requirements in your country or region, see How Bing delivers search results.
My question is: Why are nice picture/gif/video about foo called "foo-porn", even if foo is completely not related to pornography?
Best Answer
A definition of porn could be gratuitous images/moving images of naked people and sex acts intended to excite and arouse. The use of foo-porn implies the use of this definition, but replacing "naked people and sex acts" with "foo".
