UK Law banning violent pornography

Your thoughts on this?

LAZY_TITLE

To me, it makes absolutely no sense. It looks like something
spear-headed by a woman who, through her own tragic
circumstances, has lost sight of all logic and rationale..

Surely "violent porn" is the one thing that would serve to
placate and pacify the violent tendencies in people who have
a fetish for this sort of thing?

And, since it's performed by consenting adults (as opposed
to child porn, for which the same argument is made by
paedophiles as i just made in the last paragraph), nobody is
really getting emotionally hurt..

So where does the benefit in this lie?

Does this kind of stuff really cultivate violent urges?
Should it be banned? What's to say that people who have a
fetish for this stuff don't think there's anything wrong
with it, and won't seek psychological help to "cure" their
"affliction", as Mrs. Longhurst would obviously want? Who's
to say there's anything wrong with it in the first place?

just another step on the slippery slope to fascism.

"first they came for the dangerous hackers, but i wasn't one
of them, so i did nothing. then they came for immoral
pornographers, but i wasn't one of them either, so i did
nothing. then they came for the anti-government bloggers,
but i didn't have a blog, so i did nothing. then one day
they came for me, and there was no one left to help."

hmm, its where to draw the line really. i don't really agree
with censorship, and all the violent porn or whatever is
like you say, peformed by consenting adults, and if it
wasn't it would be criminal behaviour anyway. its all just
fantasy.. its the same argument for any kind of extreme
media. look at video games, look at films, they've both been
scapegoated several times over, over this kind of thing.
vunerable people will always exist. wherever you draw a line
or censorship, there is always going to be someone on the
wrong side of it.

today i saw the first of the 'dark side of porn' channel4
documentary series
http://imdb.com/title/tt0462483/
this girl saying that 'her ass would eventually fall out'
made me wonder what could be done against porn getting too
violent and people getting physically hurt. im not happy
with people like max hardcore being able to do what they
want. a banning of this sort of porn, 'gonzo', is an option.

an interesting point btw was made by this doctor that keeps
the industry from getting too much aids. she thought the
soldiers at abu graib certainly must have been inspired by
those gonzo videos

i think the opposite is more likely to be the case, i think
that watching violent porn over and over again would
desensitize you to it eventually, you'd need something more
after some time.

by that reasoning, every time a clinically insane person
does something while being obsessed with something, it
should be banned.

"John Johnson (34), the psychopathic killer who also
collected stamps was convicted today on thirteen accounts of
murder."

"BAN STAMPS!"

nah, there has never been any scientific proof that
'catharsis' actually works - or at least there wasn't when
I briefly studied psychology about 8 years ago.

that said, it's silly to blame violent porn for what some
psychotic man does. if there were many instances of men
strangling women after watching such material, maybe then
you'd have a point.

that said part 2, the spit-covered niche that Max Hardcore
and others like him inhabit makes me feel really
uncomfortable.

no, they aren't.

say this insane man claimed he was inspired by a motive on
the stamp, for instance. the porn may have been the insane
mans motivation, just as any other insane mans motivation
could be childrens television or stamps or great classical
works of poetry.

surely the fact that the film was about depicting the
strangulation of women and the man then strangling a woman
has something to do with it, though.

now, if the stamp showed women being strangled, maybe. even
then, the film would be more vivid, what with moving
pictures and sound.

there is some difference.

not really, no. regardless of what a film or rather cultural
object is about, anyone can claim to find inspiration to
perform some sort of hideous act; some people claim the
bible is about love, others kill in its name. neither stamps
nor porn (unless you count the involountary stuff with
abductions and drugs, etc, which is the porn that should
truly be banned, but not because of what people looking at
it are thinking, but rather to protect its victims) aims to
hurt anyone nor to inspire anyone to hurt anyone, but if
someone finds justification for certain actions in
something, is the thing they claim inspired them to blame?

we have this group here in norway.. it's a fairly violent
group of women called "Kvinnegruppen Ottar." They are waging
"war" on pornography and they have, on several occasions,
physically attacked and damaged different stores and stuff
'round town. They claim to be a highly feminist
organisation. Should we ban feminism? I've heard of more
acts of violence as a result of "feminism" than I've heard
of porn related acts (again: this does not include
formerly mentioned involountary porn).

I don't know.. there are people who like to watch people
being choked, and there are people who like being choked.
Both of these phenomena more often than not occur within the
same person, meaning he/she likes doing it, and likes having
it done to them. When this is performed by them as a sexual
act, it will most likely be with two consenting people who
both enjoy being choked/choking while having sex, which is
supposed to be stimulating (I can't stand people touching my
neck, but I don't pass judgement on those who like it). If
you, yourself, were into being choked while having sex for
instance, or just a bit more liberated about sexuality,
you'd probably not think much of it unless he said it to you
in a kind of "whispering insane person" fashion. Or rather,
you'd probably even laugh it away as a joke first and then
maybe get a bit unsettled.. but this is not the point.. the
point is that pornography is to a wide extent demonised even
in todays society while it is a perfectly good and healthy
addition to anyones sex life, both single people and
couples, and if the pornography is, as I said, consentual,
etc, I see no wrong in it nor much difference from other
cultural outputs even if the odd crazy person says he was
inspired by it.

bbc article says:
It is already a crime to make or publish such images but
proposed legislation will outlaw possession of images such
as "material featuring violence that is, or appears to be,
life-threatening or is likely to result in serious and
disabling injury".


just wondering, was there a big controversy when
making/publishing these images was made a crime?

I may also add that a person who chokes and fucks girls who
don't like being choked and fucked are
criminals/insane, and this act is what is (and should be)
banned, not, as I stressed before, their "inspiration"
because inspiration is cheap and can be found anywhere.

It's probably just a law for porn where bodies are seriously
damaged like in the most hardcore sadomasochism with lots of
real blood and pain, not max hardcore style degrading porn
that a lot of people like

Part of the problem is that when it is viewed as a
subversive act...it can become almost like a fix. As time
goes on simply viewing material of this nature is not enough
and they find they have the compulsion to act on it.

There have been some documentated cases of police working in
paedophilia units who have developed a need for child
pornography. There are now time limits an officer is
allowed to work in a unit.

It's an inherent human weakness and the only way to stop it
is to limit people exposure to these acts. Far from
placating violent tendencies it could actually cultivate
them in a proportion of society. Therefore it is the
responsiblilty of society at large to limit access where
possible and within reason. If people want to do this shit
in the privacy of their own home etc. then there isn't an
issue but the sale of this material is partially aimed at
thoe looking for subversion

I've watched porn since I was 15, and I still have very
vanilla tastes. I just like to see fit girls shagging. I've
never felt the urge to watch anything "harder", maybe the
type of girl changes, or I see a particular site that I
like....I imagine it's like that for most men.

there seems to be a bit of a duality in the last paragraph,
though:

Persnally though I think it would just be a PR exercise that
can't be policed in any way, shape or form.

One thing I found interesting is that the definition of
"violent porn" shown in the article would not things such as
simulated rape.

this whole case is pretty unrelated to violent porn because
it's about this strangling sex thing, what's it called.
though you can say that is violent it's a different kind of
violence, and i imagine a small niche market. i doubt this
was a case of regular violent porn gone wrong
