you know...

I never cease to be amazed at the amount of porn and pornospeak on anti porn blogs/sites. I swear it just floors me. Aside from my whole "you have no idea what those performers think about you using their images" thing, I still just don't get it.

Yes, fine, it's been stated that it is done to show everyone the vile degrading nature of porn. But a lot of these blogs are simply plastered with the stuff. Hardcore images. Images of nude women with those oh so unrealistic unnatual airbrushed bodies. Bondage images. The language is often straight out of a Max Hardcore film. And two things roll through my head every time I see it: One- there is more free jerk off material on a lot of anti-porn blogs than you can shake a dick at, Two- it's so over the top & overdone that it actually looses the shock and awe factor. These sites become just another porn site, where a ton of people probably just look at the pictures and ignore the articles all together...seriously, I can see folks into really hardcore porn snickering about who reads antiporn sites for the articles!?

It also causes me to question the whole "trigger effect". I mean, if my blog logo(s) are triggering, if some of the photos I have up at my place, which are absolutely those of a consenting female, are triggering, then how in the hell can this not be (nsfw)? On some sites, it's just so over the top. Look, it's a horrible car crash, let's back up and stare some more! Film it, so we can see how horrible it is later, again and again and again....

  1. Really well said. And those pix are hot to me, not offensive.

    I guess the thing for me personally is as a kinkster I get tired of images of my sexuality, even if they are filtered through a sexist lens, being held up as the epitome of all evil.

    No, those are feministily critiquable images of BDSM. By themselves they're not going to make the universe explode.

  2. Ahhhh...I see that Nikki Craft's at it again.

    How nice of her to rant and rave about Larry Flynt and his evol magazine....while giving it free promotion through stealing and altering his images.

    I guess that she will be defending David Vitter and all those "family values" Republicans caught in his dragnet of sexual hypocrisy, then?? I totally expect to see Wendy Vitter doing a guest blog there shortly. I mean, she did once say that she would cut DV's dick off if she caught him cheating on her....that makes her perfect for Craft's lunacy.

    She talks about how addictive porn is to the men who freely watch it. Maybe she should look in the mirror and check herself...she sounds a hell of a lot more addicted than most regular porn users I know.

  3. Prostitutes and pornstars should all be executed. I'd like to bust into a whorehouse with mad guns and shoot everybody up like Terminator.


    The funny thing is, all of their mental problems stem from one of two things. Either being molested as children, or not having a father (or parents who give a shit). And another funny common trait they all share is that they're all Atheists. That's usually just to justify their deviant behavior and distorted idea of reality.


    They don't have normal social skills, either. They're all empty like animals and can't hold a normal conversation. They can't maintain a normal relationship either, because they have no real standards. They'll fuck anything, so to them a relationship is just based on sex.


    The sad thing is, this behavior isn't just limited to pornstars or hookers. Normal girls (and guys) in the street have no morals either. No self control so they're willing to pretty much sleep with anyone and anything under the right circumstances.


    I'm not a fan of Strippers, either. They're fucked up in the head mentally, but that's mostly from vanity and desperately seeking attention.

  4. One issue, Anon....

    If you were able to accomplish all this stripper genocide, would you do us the favor and then turn the gun on yourself, too??

    Otherwise....kindly fuck off. This is not a free carrier.

  5. Is there some kind of troll Olympics going on at the minute? I give that one a 7.8. impressive combination of various loathsomenesses, but subtract points for leaving out the epithets.

  6. woooo, fun....

    Hey, Anony;

    "Prostitutes and pornstars should all be executed. I'd like to bust into a whorehouse with mad guns and shoot everybody up like Terminator."

    Yes, because violent fantasies of mass murder are so normal. I suggest you cut back on the action movies, they are affecting you negatively.


    "The funny thing is, all of their mental problems stem from one of two things. Either being molested as children, or not having a father (or parents who give a shit). And another funny common trait they all share is that they're all Atheists. That's usually just to justify their deviant behavior and distorted idea of reality."

    Huh, I was never molested, had a father at home, and I'm not an atheist. Your mass generalized assumptions amuse me.


    "They don't have normal social skills, either. They're all empty like animals and can't hold a normal conversation. They can't maintain a normal relationship either, because they have no real standards. They'll fuck anything, so to them a relationship is just based on sex."

    Actually, most are incredibly social and can carry on an exceptional conversation...helps with the job. And no, they won't fuck anything, and many DO have normal relationships with a partner outside the job. Wrong again.


    "The sad thing is, this behavior isn't just limited to pornstars or hookers. Normal girls (and guys) in the street have no morals either. No self control so they're willing to pretty much sleep with anyone and anything under the right circumstances."

    Yawn.


    "I'm not a fan of Strippers, either. They're fucked up in the head mentally, but that's mostly from vanity and desperately seeking attention."

    Well, I am sure your own fan base is amazing...and most strippers do it for the money.

  7. "They don't have normal social skills, either. They're all empty like animals and can't hold a normal conversation."

    ...were that the case, RenEv's blog would be nothing but another pornsite and NOT full of witty, interesting, and hilariously abrasive content. Trolls (like you), on the other hand, are like 2 year olds. All they want is attention so they do EVERYTHING they can to get it, even if it's annoy the HELL out of everyone in proximity.

  8. OK, so somebody being an atheist or acting sinfully according to one or more of the major world religions is grounds for on the spot execution?

    So much for religion promoting virtues like peace and love. So what exactly are the redeeming qualities of religion again?

  9. "They were molested as children. Let's kill 'em! Jesus would be so pleased."

  10. Two Bit Whore - I'd suggest you cut back a bit on being a ugly whore. Doesn't suit you very well.

  11. Do not feed the trolls, I guess.

    To the issue at hand –

    Yup, Therighttobeleftalone.org is another Nikki Craft site (I just confirmed that with a WHOIS search), even though it isn't listed on the No Status Quo front page (which probably hasn't been updated in awhile).

    She and a bunch of the other radfems are up and arms about Larry Flynt: The Right to be Left Alone, a documentary that isn't even in theaters yet. The radfems seem to be out with pitchforks and torches in anticipation of its release (judging by the accusatory post about Larry Flynt on Ren's blog the other day).

    I have mixed feelings about Flynt and Hustler (though I think the court cases he's fought and won have been entirely a good thing for free speech) and am not sure if the documentary is "warts and all" or kind of a whitewash – I'll reserve judgement on that until I actually see the movie.

  12. "Therighttobeleftalone.org is another Nikki Craft site (I just confirmed that with a WHOIS search)"


    she's a whole radfem conclave all by herself... ;)

  13. Of course, this is just an extension of Craft's lone obsession with stalking Flynt and his magazine (HustlingtheLeft.com) is her original effort, specifically aimed towards shaming any progressive or liberal or Leftist who may have some desire to defend sexual speech.

    Not that I'm quite in love with a lot of what goes on in that mag, either (toilet room satire and molestor imagery aren't really a turn on for me); but he has as much a right to be as crass and objectionable as anyone else....and he has certainly modified his act greatly as he has grown older.

    Strangely enough, HUSTLER has actually gotten much, much tamer recently than it was in its first heyday; the last "Chester the Molester" cartoon was actually posted with author Dwaine Tinsley's death in 1980. (Yeah, Larry Flynt's been protecting a dead accused pedophile for the past 27 years. Fascinating.) Even their pictorals are no more or less explicit than most run-of-the-mill hardcore print mags; and I've actually seen just as much bad taste jokes in mags run by women (including HIGH SOCIETY during the Gloria Leonard regime).

    I am so sure that already some Swift Boaters are planning to launder some money under the table at Nikki and her radfem orgs for trashing Flynt as a liberal Democratic tool. I wonder how Ms. Bogado will respond to that.

  14. I find it hard to believe that that anon comment is real (as in, serious) because it is such a quintessential example of all the stereotypes and stupidity we're fighting, and all the ways in which sex workers are NOT the patriarchy's star students. Oh, and an example of THE OPPOSITE of everything on this blog.

  15. Its a pretty textbook example of trolling, to be sure. I'm not even sure if its even this person's real POV or if he or she is just getting their kicks getting a rise out of people.

    The same person also trolled Ren's main blog, though, so who knows. For some reason, Ren really seems to attract people from far and wide with "i hate whorez" sentiments of all kinds, whether right-wing or "feminist".

    On one hand, this is the kind of trolling I wouldn't have any qualms about just dumping, because there isn't any there there as far as a point that's being made. On the other hand, as illustrations of the sheer stupidity of so much the sex-negative and slut-shaming mindset – what perfect examples!

    On the other hand, some trolls I actually appreciate in a backhanded way – NotOK basically sums up everything I find wrong with the radical feminist mentality about sexuality in one hate-filled passage. I'll probably continue to point to that post in the future when I need an example of precisely why I don't agree with radical feminism.

  16. yeah, i think that with this kind of troll, if you feel the need to post one or so in the name of free speech or "see what kind of idiots we get," i guess. but more than that just encourages them, and tends to drown out real discussion, because -someone- inevitably has to take a swipe if it keeps on. they just want a response, any response. there are approximately 100,000,000,000 other places a troll can feed in the naked Internets; let 'em push off and find one of 'em, votes I.

  17. Anonymous, you have contributed nothing to this discussion but to make your side look very bad both for having you in their ranks and for failing to chastise you for behavior that should be beyond the pale even for them. And considering the quality of your post, you are in no position to criticize anyone for their lack of conversation or social skills.
