So if Max called his stuff BDSM he is all clear right? With regards to this 'degradation' in porn films, you do know the people play a part right? It's not real, they get paid to be treated that way on camera. Or should we also ban movies like 'The Pianist', cause the actors in the Jew parts got degraded by those Germans? I don't even consider the stuff I like to be degrading, nor care for the namecalling/choking/spitting/putting-foot-on-heading/etc., but like that old philosopher guy said: 'I might not aggree with your fetish, but I will defend your right to have one'.
No, because he would be lying. I was implying that in BDSM films people usually know what they are getting themselves into. If they like to be degraded and treated with disrespect than I have no problem with that. I just don't like it as a part of "normal" mainstream porn.
In "The Pianist" the behavior of the Nazis towards the Jews isn't endorsed and it is shown in the most realistic and horrifying way so that even the dumbest idiot realizes this is no way one should treat people. In the misogynistic porn we are talking about this is hardly the case because it is shown as something cool. So yes it can be seen as just an "act" but these are real people we are talking about not just actors and I myself like to live in a society where people treat each other with respect. But as we all know America is a pretty violent society and this has to show in their porn I guess.
