People wonder about my animosity…


And to that, I have to say, are you fucking blind? Pornographers should be murdered. Porn performers should not be allowed to have children. Female porn performers with S.O.’s, well, those dudes are their pimps (not their boyfriends, husbands, partners…)

No, no, you fuck on film…you’re an alien species, subject to mass scrutiny, othering, no actual agency, victim status for all time, and eww, icky. Fuck no, you shouldn’t breed, and no way you can be trusted to be in an actual adult relationship have an actual significant other who isn’t whoring you out, perhaps you should take a bullet to the head, and no way you can actually make a decision for yourself…like what you do for a living, who you partner with, and if you have kids…you know, simple things that pretty much every other fucking adult human being on the face of the planet gets the benefit of the doubt on? Why?

Well, because you do porn. Eww. Where you get to be anyone and everyone's goddamn object, be that sex toy or little victim poster girl style…but nah, you don’t ever get to sit at the adults with a brain and choices table. No matter how much you really have going on in the brains and choices department…none of that matters at all.

You’re not human. To anyone. Even the self-righteous mother fuckers who claim they want to help and save you and feel for you and empathize! (But no you shouldn’t breed, and any and every man in your life must be a pimp or a rapist or both). How fucking belittling, othering, insulting, demeaning and whatever else is that shit? Examine that. Fucking examine that, goddamn it. You shouldn't have to work that hard, oh allies and activists and think of the children concerned citizens and fucking feminists, to see women in porn as women with lives and brains instead of objects of a different sort. Fucking examine that!

Fuck these people, seriously, fuck them. I’d take some dude jerking his dick unrepentantly to my pornographic image to this shit any day. He may not give a fuck about me as human being…

But neither do these hypocritical, whorephobic fucks…and at least with the dude, I get fucking paid!
Yeah, this shit does piss me off enough for two posts...at least. Deal with it or fuck off.
EDIT : hat tip to Penny...apparently the lovely Tyra Banks has similar feelings, and wow, porn star Sasha Grey felt Tyra did a job on her on the Tyra Banks show...in her own words. You can see the Tyra clip there too, complete with some...ahem ...commentary from "Anti Pornography Blog" (take a guess)... Sasha has some thoughts on that too...but guess what? They don't seem to matter... (seriously, if you watch the Anti Porn Version of Tyra show...leave the APB's graphics on...her treatment of Sasha is horrible- tons of blaming, dismissive and insulting behavior, and a whole lot of assumption...surprise surprise...)
This shit really does just disgust me...more than, you guessed it...porn.

I would be fucking pissed off, too, if I were dehumanized on the basis of my choice of a career.

Yeah I saw those you tubicles last week while stalking Sasha. It's just charming, especially implying she must have been sexually abused, i.e. this stuff:

Tyra: Alot of porn stars when they were younger, a big majority of them during research, have said they were sexually abused in some way.

Sasha: A large amount.

Tyra: Were you sexually abused in any way?

Sasha: Not at all, no.

Tyra: So this is just something you want to do, just because?

Sasha: Not just because, I haven't, like I said earlier, it's self exploration first hand. And I'm getting to do it in a sex positive way.

Tyra: Well in going into porn Sasha there is a big percentage, like I said, that have had issues whether or not they want to admit them or not, or face them or not, there's a reason why they go into it. So it's not so much that I'm sitting here judging you for what you do it's more of the reason why you're doing it, do you understand there's a difference of... Everybody has a choice, you're 18 years old, pornography is legal. You're not going to go to jail for what you do.

Sasha: Exactly.

Tyra: But there's still a reason why everyone does everything, why anyone makes any choice that they make in their life, and that's why you're here. There's a reason why I do this talk show. There's a reason why I broke up with the last boyfriend or he broke up with me or whatever it may be. But there's a reason for everything.

...(later)...

Tyra: I hope you sit down with yourself one day and really do some soul searching to really find out why you're in this industry.

Sasha: Oh I know why in it.

Tyra: But you haven't told me. I haven't a true reason, a deep soul reason. All this "Oh I want to save the world" and all that and "Show sexual exploration." There's something deeper. We'll be right back!

M: For real, A) What business of it is Tyra's? B) Woo, maybe Sasha HAS examined, and C) She is under no obligation to tell Tyra anything when Tyra is treating her like A) shit, and B) an idiot.

Danny said...

What I don't understand is why are these people so fixated on dictating who should and should not have children. I see that this Asukasan first states that that women in porn should not have kids. And of course someone in he comments "corrects" her/him by saying the real targets are the pimps/johns that have sex with porn stars.

How in the world do these people conclude that engaging in consensual sex with multiple people or in a "nontraditional" manner invalidates your right to have children?

Just who in the hell do these people think they are?

Anonymous said...

It's almost like Tyra was saying "please tell my audience and viewers what a fucked up damaged crazy misguided person you are."

I fully understand why this enrages you Ren. I have never met the OP that started you on this rant, but I have met a lot of people, male and female, like her and the word "vapid" doesn't come close to describing their mental processes. Not to mention their woefully inadequate grasp of history.

Does this woman know about the sterilization programs in the US and Canada? Does she understand how close she is to joining the "final solution" bandwagon?

Nope.

Why is anyone’s guess. It is heartening that a lot of the responses were calling her to task.

As for your edit, this is not the first occurrence of Tyra using her MSM position to misrepresent things... Violet Blue had a similar experience. Apparently, Tyra doesn't like ink, so they were trying to get Violet covered up. Golly gee, Tyra doesn't like a lot of things and she is doing all that she can to swing popular belief over to her side.

I am beginning to agree with the august Mr. Green. It is time to take this fight to the MSM. Not just for the porn industry, but for those of us who are tired of being marginalized because we are different is some way.

Oh no! Not a child knowing that her mother is a dominatrix! *rolls eyes*

Tyra Banks has no redeeming features apart from her looks. She is a narcissistic bully.

machina said...

Ren,

Oh I think it's reasonable to ask about sexual abuse on a talk show. I guess it's just a shame that Sasha got the answer wrong.

Comrade PhysioProf said...

Tyra: Well in going into real estate Sasha there is a big percentage, like I said, that have had issues whether or not they want to admit them or not, or face them or not, there's a reason why they go into it. So it's not so much that I'm sitting here judging you for what you do it's more of the reason why you're doing it, do you understand there's a difference of... Everybody has a choice, you're 18 years old, real estate is legal. You're not going to go to jail for what you do.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of an abuse survivor, and this just makes me ill.

1. WHY does there exist this attitude that if survivors aren't waving their flag and shouting about their abuse, they haven't done any "soul searching?"

2. I really hate when a history of sexual abuse (real or even just perceived, as in this case) is used to discredit people.

3. How can people, bloggers and talk show hosts alike, not realize how bad of an idea it is to press people on disclosing an abuse history? If the person doesn't have a history of abuse, you sound like an asshole. If the person does have a history of abuse, you ARE an asshole. It took me a year to build a relationship with my therapist before I disclosed my history, and that in itself was traumatic. Recalling abuse to someone isn't just like shooting the shit with an old friend. It's reliving the experience. Demanding someone do that just to prove a fucking point is bullshit.

And yes, designating an entire group of people to be unfit for reproduction is beyond ridiculous. Bah.

I got half way through watching that original show on You Tube and had to switch off because TB came across a sanctimonious cow who makes my blood boil (although I could be kind and wonder if she was told by her producer to take the 'holier than thou' slant for this program).

Tyra WAS told why Sasha does porn, but it seemed to me Tyra didn't get the answer that suited her so she transferred non-existent 'issues' onto a perfectly confident young woman who's comfortable with her line of work.

I tell you, the more I learn about people the more I love my cat!

What really upset me about Ms. Banks is that she doesn't think that women are exploited on their daytime jobs. I have read too many things about the humiliating things women have been put through on their day jobs. And Ms. Banks seems to be -- just like the far-right MSM -- content in covering up the harassment and sex assaults that happen on the day jobs.

Amber Rhea said...

Tyra's remarks are just unconscionable. But sadly not rare. :\

Amber Rhea said...

And I love the "I'm not judging you BUT..." "why are you so fucked up?"

UneFemmePlusCourageuse said...

Oh no! Not a child knowing that her mother is a dominatrix! *rolls eyes*

The kid's not even a kid...the kid's 21. 21-year-olds have their own sex, I think they're beyond the point of being scarred by their parents' activities. I am.

hexy: hexpletive said...

For fuck's sake, I WAS a Dominatrix-in-training at age 21. I'm pretty sure the kid's old enough to handle the concept of pro-Domination.

Fucking Tyra.

And as for the partners of sex workers = pimps thing: the idea of R being my "pimp" is so far from likely that I'd laugh... if I wasn't so fucking offended.

I love how that "Jenna shouldn't be allowed to breed" person insists she hates the very idea of calling women "whores" on her anti_porn post, yet does exactly that (repeatedly!) in her own LJ.

Amber Rhea said...

WORD, superlagirl.

Rubyfruit said...

In all honesty, I'd rather my parents be in porn than be pastors.

After I've said THAT, I just goddamn hate Tyra Banks. Sure, she's good-looking, but she does a lot of this Oh You Poor Things bullshit that gets on my everlovin' last nerves.

I have a question, though. What in the name of the various deities does having sex on film have to do with one's ability to make their own choices? Seriously.
