No it's how I see them. The claim which I have based on anecdotal data is different, although it could be said to be related, in that I believe the disrespect that I hold for certain porn actresses is held by "most"(!) people. Does that make sense now?
I don't have a threshold as such - that's the point - respect is based on many factors, but porn actresses who display a certain behaviour lose a lot of respect with me, and whatever they do to compensate there's a notional threshold above which they will not pass. I'm genuinely puzzled as to why you have a pre-defined respect threshold that sits at the "harmful" level. Can you not think of somebody, either real or hypothetical, whom you would have low respect for even if they did not behave in a harmful way?
So, by the same token, then, you'd have "no problem with" the portrayal of child molestation, intercourse and sodimy (provided children are not involved, of course), right?
No. The intent to arouse aspect only applies in the case of portrayed rape (and similar - as above).
Ooooooooooh ... Post #666 belongs to me!
Only that you and JFrankA proceeded to jointly psycho-analyse me like a couple of snidey grinning Cheshire cats and, at worst come up with, and at best imply, erroneous and, frankly, highly personal and somewhat offensive conclusions to say the least. That's all. I thought that was a pretty low blow (and, incidentally, bordering if not crossing the threshold of certain Forum Rules).
You are SO naive sugarb! Either that or you're only talking what I call "marshmallow" porn, if you know what I mean.
Ditto Post #672.
Perhaps when you've decided in which ballpark to place your goalposts JFrankA we can have a meaningful discussion. I'm beginning to see why this thread has gone the way it has now!
Indeed ...I think you'd be surprised.
.....but that's all my opinion.
For the purpose of pandering to third parties who get off on the idea of somebody being raped, yep.
Who cares what "any" people (or anybody - such as I) think, then? You seem to!
Be careful sugarb!
So you have full respect for athletes who take performance-enhancing drugs then, for example. I wonder why they receive bans and have their medals retracted.
With respect (and I do mean that on this occasion), I think that's a cop out. There's only a one day difference between a child and an adult (legally). Use your imagination (some pervs don't need to!). But if you like - yes - using cartoons. You see that as acceptable do you? Why do you see rape portrayal and child sex portrayal different, in principle?How can you portray child molestation without involving children ? Cartoons perhaps ? Hell, the Japanese do it all the time
But you're prepared to give a reduced rape correlation the benefit of the obvious doubt. That seems somewhat flippant.
I thought I'd made that clear with this essentially rhetorical question:
