51. Hi
I can see where some are uncomfortable with the "white" male aspect of your argument. I'm sure porn knows no color.

On the other hand - there is the "white" male power/money phenomena in this country - so it's not like it's nothing.


I guess it could be like boxing.

I think part of the problem is that there are no rules. Like the case mentioned in Pittsburgh - people are always trying to push the envelope of what they can get away with. And they even manage to get some advertising for themselves.

Of course many do not want rules - or think they don't. At least until it affects them somehow.

I don't think there is threat that porn will go away. I think the best hope is that people do not see it as great fun to see others be raped and such. I really hate having such images in my head. That is why I'll never choose to watch this stuff.
