Mike Dickinson of www.freespeechrevolution.com writes: It’s a tale of two industries. One is frowned upon, portrayed as dirty, confined to the worst areas of town, and harassed by government. The other is glamorized as a “fantasyland”, sets up shop to deal it’s product in the same expensive suburbia frequented by kids, and advertises it’s product in all forms of media. Both sell essentially the same thing; fantasy and entertainment by willing and paid participants, but one is treated differently.
It’s the battle of the fantasies Hollywood portrays and the fantasies portrayed in adult entertainment. No one actually dies in Hollywood films. When Freddy Kruger goes on a killing spree, no matter how much blood and gore is shown on screen no one gets hurt. The same holds true in adult entertainment. When a female model on Kink.com is tied up, bound and gagged, and trained, at the end of the day, she did so of her own free will. Nobody sat there and forced her to do it. As much as many people are fans of the website Bangbus.com, only a true fool believes the boys ride around, find, film, fuck, and dump random girls. Tests are done. Forms are signed. Consent is given. The girls and guys know each other. As sexy as it is, it is make believe, the same as every mainstream Hollywood film.
Horror films these days portray graphic sex and violence. Where is the logic that it is obscene when Max Hardcore urinates on a willing female model portraying a character, yet in Eli Roth’s flick Hostel, a female character is hung naked, sliced open, and bled out onto a another female who gains sexual satisfaction from it? Shouldn’t that be deemed obscene as well?
What about the modern day classic “American Beauty”? It blatantly portrays nudity that is supposed to represent the breasts of a 16 year old girl as well the theme of teenage sex with adults. No warning appears anywhere on the DVD box or film that it was made by adults, and the portrayal of any character in the film is adult.
How can it be perfectly legal and lucrative for American Beauty, produced by family favorite DreamWorks, to use underage sexuality to sell its’
movie? Yet, if a comic book does the same thing, create fictional characters (that are drawn-figments of imagination!) those possessing it are jailed? How can it be perfectly legal for Lionsgate to produce and ship Hostel on DVD to a home in the Bible Belt, yet Max Hardcore does the same thing and it’s obscene?
Nobody says anything or challenges big Hollywood. Movie theatres and rental stores are located in high-dollar suburbs. Children have easy access to them as parents drop them off and leave. Inside both there is typically one check, the guy who stands by the theatre hallway and makes sure a ticket is in hand or the video store clerk ringing up the sale.
There are no signs. No wide police presence. No videotaping. No community harassment and no community standards!
Consider Rob Blacks “Extreme Associates vs. United States” case.
Using “community standards” prosecutor Mary Beth Buchanan got the obscenity conviction against Black. Did she truly, sincerely fight obscenity though? No, as you can bet she didn’t take her fat, lily ass down to the community Blockbuster or Movie Gallery to find and evaluate films like Hostel, American Beauty, or Bad Santa. You can also bet she has no plans to charge Netflix with distributing obscene pornographic materials.
Why? Imagine community standards being enforced on big Hollywood films.
You can bet even the most ambitious community prosecutor would never do that as they would have a fight on their hands the size of Beverly Hills.
