I watched about two minutes of a Max Hardcore video once. Both of their clothes were still on but he was telling the girl that she was a dumb worthless whore or something like that. That's when I decided his stuff wasn't for me. The whole ignoring the safe-word thing was probably faked too but still I don't understand people who would enjoy something like that. I've read that Facial Abuse or whatever they're calling it these days is so disgusting that even people who like extreme porn want them run out of business.

yeah getting the vapors over Max Hardcore is pretty hilarious

like the dude is a scumbag and I personally really don't understand the draw of those films...but the fact that a fair portion of everyone here seems to be okay with the government restricting the free speech rights of consenting adults because they just don't like what the adults are doing is pretty disappointing.

Bear in mind that by agreeing with both of those court cases Zeris posted, you are agreeing with the Bush-era DoJ about something, specifically the DoJ under the rule of Ashcroft and Gonzales. Think about that one for a second. You're supporting the use of federal law enforcement resources to go after consenting adults because you think what they're doing is icky, good thing there wasn't anything else going on in the early to mid 2000's for federal law enforcement to be concerned with!

Obscenity laws are dumb, and they're even dumber when they're vague as gently caress because :lol: they're going to be struck down almost immediately. That law that was in question in the first case would've made Romeo and Juliet illegal.

None of the court cases were about consent. First one was about a bullshit "if it looks like child porn it's child porn even if everyone is very explicitly 18" law. Second one was about a bullshit "we think doing this thing is icky so we're going to make it illegal" law.

On the porno stuff: yeah it should be illegal to make pretend pedo porn with legal actors. I don't care how this makes the war on terror harder to fight somehow, whatever, I'm sure in the idiot thread we can somehow figure it all out. I also think government provided therapy / treatment for anyone who believes themselves to be a pedo should be free and totally anonymous, in case anyone is wondering about my followup to "how then will we satiate the pedos and keep them off the streets?".

And if Max Hardcore violated agreed-upon limits during scenes, safewords, etc. He should go to loving jail. Duh.

/\ he's referring to my comment, which actually had very little to do with the war on terror....it was just making a general observation that federal law enforcement should spend their time investigating crimes, with real victims, as opposed to serving as the morality police...which is what they were doing in both of the cases in question. They weren't investigating because someone committed rape or violated a safe word or something that could conceivably be a crime with a victim, they were investigating because consenting adults were doing things that the christian right didn't agree with, which is why under the Bush Administration obscenity prosecutions skyrocketed /\

lol

okay yeah sure let's wipe away the first amendment because consenting adults are doing something that you think is icky

fortunately first amendment precedent is very solidly established, and it doesn't line up with your view of it

e: Just so we're clear, the obscenity cases in question had absolutely nothing to do with anything at all associated with rape or any type of coercion/force/etc. The prosecution's argument was "these completely consenting adults did things we think are icky and that we think violated obscenity laws and we should throw one of them in federal jail for it." That's all, that was the entirety of their argument. I'm not saying rape or coercion hasn't happened in these films nor am I saying that this dude isn't a scumbag, I'm just saying that these prosecutions did not give two fucks about that, it was strictly about right wing christians getting the vapors and getting the Bush Administration to serve as the (literal) morality police.

The First Amendment pretty much solely exists for the purpose of protecting unpopular speech from government action....by definition popular speech doesn't need protection from a democratic government.

So yeah, protecting consenting adults from being prosecuted by the government because a majority of the population disagrees with their (again, consenting adults) speech is literally the bedrock of what the first amendment is supposed to be founded upon.

I think I've said like 3 or 4 times now that I think Max Harcore is a scumbag....scumbags often (but far from always) are the ones who are driving the train It comes back to that whole unpopular thing. Protecting the right of Nazis to march in a predominantly Jewish town (where a sizable chunk of the population was Holocaust survivors) is the basis for one of the key pieces of First Amendment jurisprudence...so yeah, the government should protect your right to "run down Martin Luther King Blvd screaming 'friend of the family'" if that's what you so desire, as long as you do so in a fashion that doesn't constitute "fighting words" or constitute an incitement to imminent lawless action, both of which are very narrowly tailored limitations.

Shouting "friend of the family!" in the face of a bunch of black people isn't protected by the 1st amendment. See also: FIRE, BOMB, ASSASSINATE, etc..

Actually doing it in the face of a bunch of black people in a public place more than likely would be protected speech, as long as it was done in a fashion that could be found to be in relation to "a public issue."

There are still things that could circumvent it though yeah? Disturbing the peace, causing civil unrest, etc? I am not pretending to know a lot or much about the subject, but it seems to me that if there is one thing our government is good at, it's creating loopholes.

Not if you're doing it in a fashion that would be considered protected speech, which is a pretty broad spectrum as the exceptions to that (fighting words in this instance, also potentially imminent lawless action) are pretty narrowly tailored. Like I said, simply shouting niggers at some black people would potentially be protected speech as long as it was done in a fashion to somehow be related to "a public issue."

Now in reality if you do that, someone is probably going to start swinging, a fight is going to break out, the cops are going to get called, and everyone's going downtown...but that's dealing with the aftermath of a separate action that was unrelated to the speech. If the cops prohibited you from saying it at all on the basis that "a fight's going to break out" then that would likely be a constitutional violation of exercising prior restraint on protected speech. If they rolled in as soon as you said it before any other illegal action took place, they'd be illegally suppressing protected speech.

e: Of course I'm being a little obtuse here because literally just yelling the word "niggers" at a bunch of black people is skirting the edge of fighting words, and honestly if you were arrested based on just that it's probably a coin flip whether it stands or is found to be protected speech depending on the jurisdiction (as well as the specific statute and how broad or narrowly tailored the language in the statute is) because there's still some gray area on just how narrowly tailored the fighting words exception is. However it would be very easy to find a way to make the speech protected..."All niggers must die," "Niggers need to leave," and "I hate niggers" would all most likely be solidly within the realm of protected speech. The first is making a statement that does not meet the imminent lawless action standard for incitement and would most likely not be found to meet the fighting words standard, and the second and third could be seen as to be addressing a public issue (and would therefore be outside the scope of fighting words.)

Bear in mind that “White son of a bitch, I’ll kill you” and “You son of a bitch, I’ll choke you to death” were held by the Supreme Court to be protected speech (granted that was a case involving directing that language towards a police officer performing his duties, which muddies the water a little bit, but the point still stands that "White son of a bitch, I'll kill you" is considered protected speech in this country.)

Yeah "send it" isn't proper radio etiquette or whatever.

It was just especially dumb because it was on our walkie talkie platoon channel which was used exclusively for gunline commands during live firing. I had already stopped using "send it"/"go for (me)" on comms where other people had a reason to actually be monitoring.
