Totally. I mean, he's begging for feedback. It's not like "You like that, baby?" has a subtext of "of course you do, because I'm awesome" or "of course you do, because my power to treat you like this turns you on." It's an honest question.
- cgranade 17y agoAs much as I think that the article is problematic, I can totally imagine someone saying "you like that, baby?" in a rhetorical sense, rather than meaning it as an honest question. If that is the case, however, then it is a real problem that needs to be addressed rather than being blamed on porn.
- tome 17y agoI think dkarl was being sarcastic.
- cgranade 17y agoPerhaps. On the Internet, it can be hard to tell sometimes. If so, then my bad.
- westbywest 17y agoAgreed. I see many parallels in in article's argument against porn and and arguments against violence in video games. Both, i.e. the porn and video game violence, can do well-acknowledged and serious harm against social mores: degradation of sexual intimacy in one case and simulation/glorification of violent behavior in the other case. Both are also frequently made scapegoats and blamed for problems with society at large, be it lack of adequate sex-ed in school, unhealthy gender role models, or deeper, unacknowledged cultural glorifications of violence.
- necrecious 17y agoI laughed when she mentioned the asking seven times part. First of all she counted, and she doesn't respond, and then she blames the guy. I am so thankful for my girlfriend right now.
- jff 17y ago"You like that, baby?" is pretty porny, though. Guy just needs to grow a mustache and a mullet, he's all set.
