Re: 107

if it's true that there's nothing wrong with watching porn, then why should anyone care enough to "not want to know"? Er, I don't see your problem with the sentence. I'm fine with people watching. However, I don't want people to come up and tell me about it, especially people I don't know.

If I was having a discussion about porn, or asked the person if they watched porn, it'd be fine; maybe I'm weird, but I don't want to know about the porn habits of random people.

Okay, flaunting was the wrong word. I just find it weird that people want the whole world to know about it. It's fine if people are open, but that just seems like unnecessary information to me.

The only conclusion I drew was that it was weird; I don't think they're bad people, or crazy or mean or whatever, I just think it's weird. If someone came up to you, essentially, and said 'I like porn', wouldn't you find it odd?

I'm just surprised that the mere mention of an activity which supposedly is all hunky-dory to participate in should invoke so much ire, is all. Again, we're not talking about people watching porn in public here, just talking about it. Is it really that weird?

If someone came up to you, essentially, and said 'I like porn', wouldn't you find it odd?

This is exactly what I'm saying, though. To me, wearing a t-shirt/carrying a bag is not even remotely the same thing as a direct declaration, and I see no reason why I should take it personally. The word "porn" (and all variations thereof) has become so prosaic in my understanding that its appearance holds no shock factor at all. If it's not illegal, if it's not intrusive and in-your-face, why let it ruin your day? TMI is a risk you take if you want freedom of expression.

Okay, you're not reading me right; none of this is 'invoke(ing) so much ire'. I am not offended, ticked off, angry, shocked, taking it personally, or anything else about someone having that bag: I think it's weird, and unnecessary, but that's it.

That's why I said essentially; it's not the same thing, but it's still proclaiming that you like porn, or watch it, or whatever, which I just find unncessary.

Re: 107

It's not about reading anyone :) I understand you're not angry, it was just a figure of speech. I do notice that you seem bothered by it, and yes, that implies taking an offhand mention a little personally. The bag is unnecessary? Jokes about porn are unnecessary? Possibly. But if someone finds it amusing, they will sport it around, and they're within their right to. Maybe they even mean to be "edgy" and make people uncomfortable, I don't know, but it doesn't mean you have to buy into their intention. Have a little laugh at their expense, tell your friends, but accept that it happens and is not a big deal.
