Someone who is into BDSM, might not blink an eye to see a gagged person being whipped on the sidewalk and enjoying it.. whereas a majority would.

so there is some notion of majority rule in defining what is "acceptable".

which then different areas, differnet communities, have different demographics and values, and then we get to degrees of subjectivitity.

so my point is, if you are in the industry of porn, are there really degrees of porniness? can you say that porn is worse than my porn? so treat that porn with different set of values/circumstances than my porn?

those outside the industry, lump all of pornography together in the same lump, with some valuation that some porn is worse than others.

some have brought up that only the extreme stuff gets targeted because the other kinds of porn that is more mainstream, will have a harder time of being prosecuted, so therefore, cases that are to the extreme can be let go, they can get the guilty verdict, and that there is no slippery slope.


Fight the fine line!
