great points.. .. i think more to SS's point, and certainly to mine, is that rather than making references to content that involves minors and calling it 'child pornography', to instead use phrases like 'child exploitation', or 'child sexual abuse', rather than 'child pornography'.
no different than in hip/hop culture to use replacement words, fo'shizzle or the world of politically correctness.
from a nomenclature standpoint, "child exploitation" content is a subgenre of pornography..much like beastiality, but to the religious right and the DOJ, ALL pornography is bad, and some, like CE and B, are illegal, the rest, they find immoral.
so SS is articulating a simple, personal way that each person can demonstrate to others, that CE is not part of the adult biz, is to not referer to "that" content as "child pornography"... so when someone says they are a "pornographer"... the connotation is not like what oprah inferred that this person must take pics of kids, but they are engaged in legal, lawful, (and healthy) visual, auditory, or written expressions of human sexuality.
calling it by the right name is great start, doing something about it is a bigger step, and that is what joan, gracie, tim, and i do everyday at ASACP.
fight the CE'izzle!
