Disgusting excuse for a woman

[deleted]

Just so I understand:

You feel that Sasha Grey is subhuman scum for allowing herself to be destroyed physically, morally and emotionally by herds of sociopaths at the behest of sadistic managers, pimps, producers and backroom types, correct? And you feel this way because you actually believe that the adult film industry's slaughterhouse of exploitation is the fault of the actresses?

I would agree that Grey's a violent sex star because that's what the porn industry has become: an assembly line of torture and nullification for young women. But blaming Grey for that is exactly the kind of three-card misogyny that created violent sex stars in the first place. I don't have an opinion of Sasha Grey as an actress or person because I don't know her and haven't seen her work. But I highly doubt that the films she's made were ones she'd have ever chosen to make when she first entered that industry.

I do intend to see The Girlfriend Experience because it seems a departure for Soderburg. And if it might help a porn actress escape the sealed garage of that industry, with its phenomenal ratio of suicides and drug casualties, then I'm all for it no matter who she is. And if she doesn't escape or chooses not to, at least she got the chance to try.

P.S. to the person who likes to call others fascists without actually knowing what the word means (hint -- it doesn't mean self-righteousness):

Questioning the logic of moatshark's opinion is as much my right as it is for moatshark to have one.

1. Linking porn to the actions of Ted Bundy, and holding Sasha Grey responsible is ridiculous.
2. Looking at moatshark's history, he has started threads on the boards of 3 different movies starring Sasha Grey.
3. moatshark seems to have indepth knowledge of her movies, indicating he has seen them.
4. WTF

Your post = slut shaming, and a prime example at that. She chooses to work in the porn industry and have freaky sex on film. That's her choice alone and it doesn't reflect on all women. Ah, and also, if she's bad for enjoying gang banging, then so is the rest of the gang participating. Human sexuality is complicated and you can never fully understand why some people get off the way they do.

Even if she doesn't actually like those things and she pretends she does for the money, then that's also a choice (not one I particularly admire). But then, other women should also stand up and say 'hey, you know what, that's just her. I'm not into that'. She's not a spokeperson for all women - she can't be. She just doesnt have that sort of power.

On the other hand, I can understand how violent porn may help sustain the crappy violence-against-women culture.. Like, if someone wants to hit people, seeing it on film validates it somehow. But you can't blame the people willingly (because of the enjoyment and/or the money/fame involved) engage in filming adult videos. Blame, uh, the actual people who hit women (and not in the context of some fancy sex roleplay).

I wish Sasha Grey's videos weren't viewed as the 'epitome of edgy' or 'disgusting filth' by people. It's masturbation material. I also wish there were more diverse kinds of porn, and we were not that geared towards such violent stuff - ie, there's way more violent stuff than stuff with smiling people out there with respect to adult videos. I find it very weird that for most people, smiling people in porn would negatively affect their b0ners. But you can't blame Sasha Gray for not wanting to do the kind of porn that would be more pleasant for you to watch. You can dislike her for that, but it still says nothing about her worth as a person. It's her choice to do what she does, so leave her alone.
