If I wanted to watch pornography, I would open up pornhub, brazzers, or for hentai, joi database, literally anything

Come on, Cons, ~~make your own ORIGINAL media with that sex shit...~~ BUT don't impose it on every media you consider liberal...

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 16 hours ago

Too many people are so pornbrained that they think it's "puritan" to not want every fucking thing to be pornographic at all times.

I watch porn. I have my treats and problematic favorites. But for fuck's sake is it so "puritan" to want to watch a mystery, a comedy, a drama, or the like without awooga or for that matter awooga libertarian-alert hypersus shoveled in to feed hogs and make smuglords feel like "grown-ass adults" for consuming it?

This is the movies or "kino" version of

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 16 hours ago

Many such cases.

One former Hexbear had a meltdown once by declaring and doubling down on all western animation being "for babies," direct quote, and of course that user had an anime waifu avatar. I tried to argue, but then what I got back was "oh by all means UlyssesT tell us how much you like Dragon Tales too."

I'm glad the meltdown lead to a ban. rip-bozo

"Grown-ass adult" mentality is so fucking immature.

Shit I saw some people talk about they wish it was like the older days with more sex scenes etc but there are reasons why nowadays there are intimacy coordinators on the set. Not even against the scenes but I read that sex scenes declined by a large margin 40% or so.... I imagine part of the reason is that several actors/actresses may or may not be comfortable with such scenes. Add while art can take you out of your comfort zone Idk

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago

Sometimes the coerced abuse is right on set with everyone watching, using contractual bullying or the like to distress the actor. Emilia Clarke had to go through that on the Gambo show, the distress on her face was real during those early awooga libertarian-alert hypersus scenes, and the trust fund hogs running the show got so mad when she renogotiated her contract that they eventually character assassinated her in a sort of literal "assassinate the character after cheapening the arc of a SV victim" way.

I fucking hate that show so much and anyone talking about how "sexy" it was is deeply sus to me.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 9 points 14 hours ago

I remember reading somewhere that when Momoa realized they didn't have a robe ready for Clark between takes of the sex scenes he started screaming at the director to get her something to wear between takes.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

you think that may have something to do with it? The nudes she did became less and less each season.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 16 hours ago

She was coerced into her early scenes by contractual obligation and the hogs were oinking because of her visible distress, including on set.

I think the expanded use of intimacy coordinators are a post-Gambo consequence, though the actual trust fund hogs that pushed Emilia Clarke into that didn't get punished in any way because rich cishet white men.

I remember the backlash when Penn Bagley said he didn't wanna do racy scenes on the show You. Said he wasn't as comfortable about it since he was married. Mfs called him all kinds of shit even called him MAGA etc. Talking about "he has no self control" "his marriage must not be strong" "he probably isn't comfortable" people insinuating he has backwards views of women. All this sounded to me was like the gamer version of a show like this.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 15 hours ago

That's the first time I heard of that particular moment; sounds like the flipside of that "being a sex pest is sex positivity" shit that Louis CK and Joss Whedon were pushing on set.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/11xeipx/penn_badgley_thinks_we_all_overreacted_to_his/ Man didn't even say anything bad. Its like actors and actresses aren't allowed to have boundaries? And mind you these things have multiple shoots. They're uncomfortable as fuck

There was a time Ricci refused to a scene like the director wanted to which is telling because she's done plenty of sex scenes. The director threatened to sue her but she stood her ground.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago

There's this weird fucked up puritan/pornbrain hybrid mentality that sees any actor that got naked on set as having surrendered the right to ever say no to doing le sexy sex scenes in the future.

Similarly, entire careers have sunk in the past because someone who was "le sexy" got naked and afterward was suddenly not seen as tantalizing enough or whatever.

Halle Berry's career took a dive after Swordfish, for example.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 14 hours ago

Yeah. The Madonna/Whore thing runs extremely, extremely deep. Once you're "tainted" you're tainted forever.

It's something I really admire about Miley Cyrus - as soon as she was out from under Disney's thumb she got a flamethrower, burned down her squeaky clean Hannah Montana character, and never apologized.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

Angelina Jolie somehow escaped that terrible stigma by getting naked early and then just owning it and continuing on. Not sure how much of that was luck and how much of that was fighting like hell.

Same deal with Monica Belluci, but she's not exactly Burgerland focused.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago

Hold on you mantioned game of thrones. Lancel Lannister was 17 years old and was doing nudes in that

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 15 hours ago

Oh for fuck's sake, I didn't even know that. I didn't know I could hate Gambo even more. libertarian-alert

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 7 points 15 hours ago

I got more examples Gemma forced to do shit she doesn't want to https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/gemma-arterton-sex-scene-director-b2610110.html Maybe there are less scenes because actresses have a choice and more power than they did in the past.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 15 hours ago

That's the "cancel culture" scare that cishet dudebro hogs have been so upset about.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Now you see the movie poor things. How many scenes were in that? But it doesn't seem to have these allegations. Hmmmmm maybe......

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago

Didn't they wait for Sophie turner to turn 18 to give her her firstremoved scene? How.... Considerate

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

Eugh. I found out one of the sand snakes was put in a nude scene either literally the day she turned eighteen or the day after. She was an adult, she had the right to do that, but the directors? Are you fucking serious? I can't believe anyone was willing to work with them after that. Idk, maybe the actress enthusiastically agreed to the idea, but ffs give the woman time to recover from her birthday hangover!

It's like those old "countdown timers" webpages people used to maintain counting down until the Olsen twins were legally adults or something. Just 1 - what the fuck? And 2 - why the fuck was that acceptable?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 14 hours ago

I still have ugly internet fights at times over that; some people think "sex positivity" means sex pestery and being a creep no longer conceptually exists.

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

Wait which one? Damn the more I read about D&D with this stuff the less I like em

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago

I think it's the one who tries to trick a guard ina. Dungeon but admittedly i didn't watch gambo.

Dragon Tales was great, what are they talking about. That shit slapped when I was five.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago

I haven't seen it, but even if I had, it's probably better than "Help I Fell Unconscious And Now I Am In Yet Another Wish Fulfillment Video Game World With Sexual Pathology Characteristics" anime slop.

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 18 points 17 hours ago

Come on, Cons, make your own media with that sex shit...

Don't encourage them. There is no such thing as "art" where a conservative renders something from out of the hatesink that is their brainpan.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 10 points 16 hours ago

Aight, frau, I should take that back...

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Like I'm not gonna front. I'm a grown ass them; I have no issue with sexuality, even to a raunchy, near-pornographic degree involved in artistic pursuits. Some of my favorite fictional novel series are two steps from being straight-up erotica if not for the not sexually-related issues of the overarching plots they have; we don't do that Tipper Gore shit here.

But I would never let a conservative, a republican, an alt-righter, or what have you, anywhere near a pen or keyboard for it.
