I was reading in the biography book and it got to a part where the counterargument for not having flash is that all its good for is watching porn? I don't really understand the nature of this attack. First of all I understand that it appeals to mainstream family values and paints Android as a dirty thing for nerds, but it doesn't make sense at all. The most popular site ******* works on iPhone and always has...

I remember people saying this in general too. I never understood this.
 
I just don't see how this was ever an argument, even if it was supposed to be spin. It was clearly available online on both the iPhone and Android at the time.

I heard people say it in real life, posted on here, now I read it in the book...
 
This was probably presented because of the simple fact that at the time most porn sites used flash formats for their videos. Yes, there were a few exceptions, but the majority were using flash.
