MitD XIX: The Potted Plant Is Starting To Look Reasonable

[Precure]

Is it really porn if neither of the participants are aware they're being watched?

Yeah (ex: Revenge porn)

[Tubercular Ox]

He also likes dwarf porn, which is not very child friendly.

He could be a Young Adult, like the black dragon.

You mean teenager?

[Peelee]

Yeah (ex: Revenge porn)

So revenge porn is typically known to be filmed by at least one of the participants. And is regardless not a category of media but a legal charge.

[Tubercular Ox]

You mean teenager?

Maybe? You decide.

[Precure]

So revenge porn is typically known to be filmed by at least one of the participants. And is regardless not a category of media but a legal charge.

So? It's still porn.

Maybe? You decide.

Why would I decide the meaning of something you said?

[Peelee]

So? It's still porn.

So:

Is it really porn if neither of the participants are aware they're being watched?

So revenge porn is typically known to be filmed by at least one of the participants.

In any event, the specific event in question was simple voyeurism. Porn is typically viewed as something intended to titilate others. Not all sex voyeurism is porn.

It is also consistent with a pre-teen's fascination with "forbidden" things, whilst still being of a frame of mind to participate in tea parties and form clubs that don't allow girls.

From the viewer's point of view, there's no difference unless it's a deliberate performance that breaks the "fourth wall", which many do.

And from a certain point of view Darth Vader betrayed and murdered Luke's father.

Or, in other words, no, i don't buy what you're saying for a secod. second

[Precure]

Revenge porn is an example of porn where at least one participant is unaware that they will be watched.

I apologize for being too subtle with this word earlier.

Also other stuff like "not all voyeurism is porn" and "porn is designed to titilate others" and "someone watching two people bang is not porn it's just someone watching two people bang."

Just because something is named "x" doesn't mean it is actually x. I'm sorry you had to find out from me, but Best Buy was rarely actually the best buy.

I think I preferred it when we were talking about the Tarrasque.

[halfeye]

Is it really porn if neither of the participants are aware they're being watched?

I saw a sitcom once where a couple were offered a really cheap, nice, hotel room with "Toys" to play with, and unknown to them the mirror was a one way mirror and the other guests were going to be watching them. One of them found out, and the whole thing was aborted, but if it had happened, I think that would have been porn.

Mind you, if there's some definition that someone can find that says it isn't porn, I will only be mildly surprised.

Now see, there's an actual answer! Of course, I'd still say even then the act was designed to be viewed by others (albeit not by the participants) whereas with the dwarves, the viewers were watching for other reasons and happened to see that.

I think I preferred it when we were talking about the Tarrasque.

I'm just happy there's no crossover between the topics.

I'm glad you managed to identify the most important issue to address here.

Don't be silly. Tarrasques are reptilian in appearance. Their reproductive anatomy shouldn't be the gross mammalian sort either!

[Peelee]

Lack of consent on behalf of the participants does indeed get me to comment on it.

Don't go to the Western Continent.

It's an interesting debate, actually. I would say porn includes by definition some commercial intent, and that's where I would draw the line: if my gf and I are doing it, that's not porn, if we're getting filmed without our knowledge while doing it, that's still not porn, and if that video footage gets used commercially "to titillate viewers/customers" then that's when it becomes porn EVEN THOUGH none of the participants were aware they were actually producing porn at the time (also, I would say the act of producing porn in this case would be credited to whoever commercialized the clip of the unaware participants, more than to the participants themselves.)

Did you know that in terms of male human and female D&D monster breeding, the Tarrasque is the most compatible D&D monster for humans? Not only are they in the Magical Beast type, which is mostly

[Metastachydium]

It does little for making the Monster and Redcloak watch two Dwarves have intercourse together any less just FREAKING WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.

Don't go to the Western Continent.

…
That was an isolated incident!

I like to imaging that the second sentence here cutting off midway was the equivalent of a hook pulling you off the stage before you could go any further.

I know the difference between pornography and art, and this, sir, is art.

What about a Vaporeon and a Tarrasque?

What if the MitD is the child of a Vapoeron and Tarrasque?????

If that turned out to be the case, then I think what would happen is everyone except you and the Giant would be very surprised.

[woweedd]

Hey, can we please talk about LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE?

[Peelee]

Hey, can we please talk about LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE?

Are you saying the potted plant is starting to look reasonable?

Either that or that the MitD is a jedi. Hmm, but that's obviously unreasonable, since the plot tells us that jedi are good, and Redcloak and Xykon consider the MitD a reasonable evil minion/ally.

Thus the MitD is a Sith.

[Somniloquist]

I had a whole serious write-up ready to go about Uboa from Yume Nikki (can teleport people away, weird-looking, right size, hard to confirm its strength). But then I learned that Yume Nikki was released in 2004. So even if copyright wasn't a problem, that would be. Oh well.

A Vaporesque? They have a big box but I hear you can get huge clouds with them.
