Who Profits From The Normalisation?

“If you want to know what controls the world, look at what you’re not allowed to criticise.”
And if you want to know why children are being sexualised? Follow the money.


We’ve exposed the layers already:

  • Culture and fashion are sexualising children.
  • Porn is grooming their minds.
  • Education is normalising the narrative.

But none of this is organic. None of it is accidental.
It is driven by profit. By ideology. By power.

Let’s be blunt: Children are now a target market.
Their innocence is being strip-mined for cash, data, and cultural engineering.

Here is how the machine works.


Big Porn — Addiction As Business Model

Global porn industry worth: over £90 billion.

Big Porn is no longer a seedy backroom business, it is run by multinational corporations with ties to:

  • Advertising giants
  • Data brokers
  • Lobbying firms
  • “Education” charities

Pornhub alone is owned by MindGeek, which controls a vast portion of global online porn distribution.
Its business model is simple:
Hook them young.
Keep them addicted.
Collect their data.
Monetise every click.

Porn platforms use:

  • Machine learning to drive escalation of content
  • Search engine manipulation to target children and teens
  • Paid partnerships with “sex-positive” influencers to normalise porn to Gen Z and Gen Alpha

Even so-called “ethical porn” is a gateway drug.
Once you have a child normalised to one layer of content, the algorithm drives them deeper to more violent, more extreme material.

And the earlier this starts, the more valuable that user is for decades of clicks.


Big Tech — The Silent Enabler

Every major social platform profits from the sexualisation of children.
Not because their execs are paedophiles (mostly) but because sexualised content drives engagement.
And engagement = ad revenue.

How it works:

  • TikTok, Instagram and YouTube algorithms promote underage creators who get high engagement
  • Comments from adult men drive the algorithm to promote those videos further
  • AI tools used by platforms are trained on engagement, not ethics
  • Attempts to block this are deliberately weak because if they worked, they would lose money

Meta, Google, ByteDance (TikTok), Snap — they all know. They all profit. They all look the other way.

And if parents object?
They are gaslit: “You don’t understand youth culture.”


Fashion & Retail — Selling Adult Fantasy To Children

The fashion industry is now deeply complicit.

  • High street brands push sexualised clothing for pre-teens and toddlers
  • Influencers as young as 5 are promoted wearing crop tops, makeup, adult styling
  • “Mini me” collections deliberately mimic adult sexualised trends — and are cross-marketed to paedophile-run forums and fetish sites (documented cases).

Brands that have been called out include:

  • H&M
  • Shein
  • Zara
  • Primark

But this is not an accident.
Sexualised kids’ clothes photograph better.
They perform better on Instagram.
They sell more units.

And when a child dresses adult, predators respond, driving engagement and fuelling the market.


Ideological Capture — The Trojan Horse Of “Progress”

One of the most sinister arms of this agenda is how it is now being laundered through “progressive” ideology.
Activist networks, charities, and NGOs, many directly or indirectly funded by Big Porn and Big Tech push narratives like:

  • “Porn literacy” for children
  • “Consent workshops” that normalise kink and BDSM to 12-year-olds
  • “Queer-inclusive sex education” that often means graphic material without parental consent

Some of these groups receive grants from the very companies profiting from the sexualisation of children.

This is not about rights.
It is about rewiring how children see their own bodies and boundaries, to make them better consumers of the industry’s products.

If innocence is a social construct, it can be dismantled.
And if it is dismantled, the market expands.


The Global Network — How It All Connects

This is not isolated. It is coordinated.

  • Big Porn funds activist groups.
  • Activist groups lobby governments for “inclusive” education.
  • Tech companies promote sexualised content under “youth culture.”
  • Fashion brands feed demand through influencer marketing.
  • Data brokers profit from every click, share, and reaction.

Children are the product.
Their data is harvested.
Their sexuality is commodified.
Their innocence is erased for profit.


The Ultimate Cost

What this means in practice:

  • Children unable to form healthy sexual boundaries
  • Normalisation of abuse and exploitation
  • Escalating child-on-child sexual harm
  • Entire generations groomed to accept porn, abuse and hypersexuality as normal

And all of it happens because powerful industries are making billions and activists are providing the ideological cover to make it unstoppable.


What We Must Do

Name the profiteers.
Expose their funding networks.
Refuse the language games, this is not progress, it is predation.
Reclaim childhood from the machine.

Because if we do not, we will lose an entire generation, not just to trauma, but to cultural captivity.


Innocence was not lost. It was stolen — for profit.
And if we want it back, we must tear the system out by its roots.
