[kj] Porn Star Sasha Grey fan of Killing Joke

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Exploitation? Sounds like most jobs.

I think the problem many have with porn is not that it's exploitation, 
because a fuckload of jobs involve that. It's that sex is in the 
equation, which is the real dealbreaker. It's a lingering 
Puritanical/Victorian attitude that needs to go the way of the dinosaur, 
although no one is going to admit that's why they are against it, I'm sure.

As I said, some porn can be sexist, but the genre as a whole is not 
inherently sexist. I'm sure there is a lot of exploitation involved, but 
that may be the case with the clothes you wear or the food you eat. I 
think it's the sex part that bothers people. Someone at a Jenna Jameson 
level of stardom, or even at the Sasha Grey level, is not being 
exploited. They know what they are doing, I am sure, and may even see 
the men who buy their stuff as the suckers.
