Russian oligarch's girlfriend sparks MLK day firestorm after posing on naked 'black woman' chair for

113. You're on a roll. Nice dig. I may be ignorant, but I can read and comprehend.

No, You actually did call it porn based on you own words. You can deny it after the fact all you want, but it's there in black and white.

10. It's racist and sexist, but it's porny. See the strap around her? It's BDSM, so it's ok.

And because it's about sex, that means liberal principles no longer apply.

See, porn is a magical medium, in which abhorrent and even illegal actions (rape, abuse, torture, racism, misogyny, etc.) are totally ok and even awesome, because ... well, I don't know. Because orgasms, I guess.

So let's deconstruct what you said:

#1 "it's porny". So far so good, you're entitled to view it that way. Would have been fine if you had stopped there, but...

#2 "it's about sex". Hmm. Art, sex, "porny", sure seems like your infer it's "porn". I don't know, shall we look a little further? OK, let's...

#3 "See, porn is a magical medium". Wait a minute, did you just change the subject? Are we now discussing "Debbie Does Dallas"? No, you never made that distinction, this post was entirely about the piece of art depicted in the OP and never veered from it.

So here's my issue with your post. You used it to rant about porn (which you're entitled to do by the way), but then you throw in the dig about "liberal principles no longer apply". Now based on your body of work here on DU, my "kneejerk" reaction is not that you are referring to your own liberal principles, but those of your fellow DU members who do not feel as you do regarding porn. The funny thing is, nobody defended this piece in this thread for what it is. You choose to make it about porn and use that to backhandedly chastise people who disagree with your position.

So there you have it. Take it FWIW. Or not.
