I think you might be giving them too much credit. There’s also the aspect of addict = disability = unemployed/financially insecure = easier to entrap into a relationship she can’t leave
Yeah, I 100% guarantee they aren’t thinking of that at all. It’s really clear both from the culture at large, and the contents of the message by “porn addict” they mean “horny often and into sex”, and by “they don’t want you” they mean you aren’t up to the standards of enjoyment they get from the porn they like.
Okay, hypersexuality is itself a damaging addiction. Like I’m not sure its a clinical term but I’ve heard internet stories of women who in the moment aren’t able to say no, but find themselves drowning in self loathing because they’re too… for want of a better term addicted to sex to set healthy boundries. They don’t even necessarily enjoy themselves. They just can’t control themselves in much the same way a heroin addict can’t.
And yeah, if we’re talking addiction I’m taking the word at face value and assuming you mean clinical addiction. I’m guessing the hypothetical guy the meme refers to is expecting the “hypersexual who watches porn” as you put it, though I’d interpret that sentence very differently to how you probably meant it as I explained above.

What the fuck, nobody thinks like this. Get help
Are we talking clinical addiction? as damaging as having a partner with a gambling addiction.
or metaphorical addiction? as in hypersexual who watches porn.

Yeah, that’s not what hypersexual means. You seem to be attributing the worst possible archetypes to far more general terms.
Nope it’s actually just a meme.
