re: #191 Dark_Falcon

When I wrote that I was trying to “to illustrate the roles that the two different groups of people tend to play with the Democratic coalition”, what I meant was that porn producers who are Democrats or who support the Democrats tend to do so as money people (changed from “money men”, since some porn producers are women nowadays).

You didn’t say that, though. You said:

*: The porn industry is more a source of funds for the Dems whereas feminists provide activists.

And put it into an overall view of a ‘coalition’ of Democrats involving pornographers and liberal feminists. Are you honestly trying to say your first post wasn’t giving the impression that you were putting pornographers in general into the Democratic coalition?

And could you please back off a bit at this point. That ‘popcorn time’ line was just something I said because more liberal members of the board have used when GOP factions fight each other. I didn’t mean anything offensive by it and it wasn’t even the main point of my post.

The reason I’m harping on it is because I really do think it’s wildly shitty behavior to make a ‘porn parody’ of someone, be they Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, or Laura Dunham. I support the first-amendment right for it to happen, but that doesn’t mean it’s not shitty behavior.

It’s kind of like those pictures of some GOP dude’s kids crying when he lost. It was so fucking meanspirited to look at a small, crying child and be like “Hahaha, you’re sad and your father’s a jerk”. Dunham feels creeped out by the porn parody. So would I, if someone made one of me. We have to tolerate a lot of shit to protect free speech, but it doesn’t mean we have to like the shit.

All Dunham has said is that the parody bugs her.
