You realize the porn industry is full of shady deals that often fuck over the women, things done without consent, trafficking, etc?

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
NA

that's not a theoretical problem with pornography, that's an objection to the porn industry

i think that is an important distinction here

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think the distinction matters. Porn's abuses are part of the package. Ethically-made porn is an unpopular, uncompetitive exception.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
depends on what medium you consume

written and drawn are pretty much guaranteed to be real person abuse-free

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, snap. You got me, you clever bastard.

"Ethically-made porn is an unpopular, uncompetitive exception."

Source? I find that rather hard to believe, that porn is only successful if the participants are unwilling or something.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's not so much that porn is only successful when it's CONSPICUOUSLY unwilling, it's that the porn industry is unconcerned with the mental and physical health of its performers, recruits them via coercion and any attempts to regulate the industry to prevent these things are deflected.

Studios that don't do these things are a kind of 'alternative' porn.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
So they're like any other industry? Lol.

Sounds like a massive jump to assume any industry that doesn't coerce its actors to be "alternative". Gonna have to remain suspicious on your claims.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but that doesn't mean objectification is inherently bad. To clarify, porn's one context I think it's reasonable to have objectification in.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think it'd be better if there were a larger selection of porn for women. There really isn't as widespread a selection, because women's sexuality is still largely regarded as for men. Even lesbian porn is largely geared toward men enjoying it.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
that doesn't mean objectification for men is bad tho

that just means there should be more objectification for women, which i think is true and correct and right

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Um... you're in a community based largely around porn for women. Indeed, it's one of the largest and longest-lived subcultures in the world, and it's largely about porn for women. Even outside fandom, porn for women is the single largest genre in publishing and has been for decades.

I think the problem is that you're insisting on a definition of porn that suits what you want to believe.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-16 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
This! Everytime I see "porn for women" as in Videos, I laugh my ass off. It just doesn't work, or at least, never has for me. It's just too governed by cliches of what women are supposed to enjoy. But from my experience, and second hand experience from other people in various fandoms, most women seem to simply not need close ups of "the real deal" as much as the right scenario, character dynamics and some sort of narrative continuity through a sex scene.
