To say I was ‘upset’ with the release of “Cuties” on Netflix was an egregious understatement and inaccurately describes the assault I endured to my perception in sight, never mind the imagery of suggestive enticement to seduction which obviously needs no further explanation as to what may be expected – gratification - in where clearly sexual stimulation completely bypassed any sense of interpretation of the mind obviously, much like a drug which similarly bypasses any other senses or operations of the mind but which stimulate the body into action, or to an emotional feeling, or both – for some herein arousal, for others like me - abhorrent repulsion (you understand how slick reason or 'interpretation' was bypassed, or was that STOLEN?). Or like simply hearing a given sound of running water gives one the urge to urinate – all functions clearly of an unconscious mind prompted by the senses to put forth the body to action, the ‘impetus’ if you will and much like Pavlov's dogs simply. Putting my own disgust aside, I consider another perspective, pulled back away from those images of suggestion and enticement to answer the fundamental question of is it "Art" or similarly, can it be considered as an "expression of free speech?”
“Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them.”
No doubt in what I said thus far, and in what follows will garner mealy mouth criticisms against me, but by such condemnations, in retort, I defer to Lord’s Word; specifically, 2 Peter 2: 12 – 22. As I speak not for myself – but for the defenseless - whether it be for a child who is abhorrently and abominably USED AS A MEDIUM in the production of such craft or for the non-reasoning unstable and weak among us which continue to be entangled by the craft of evil doers for profit – where both are wholly UNREASONABLE.
Simply, the production of pornography, regardless of the form of public display, is a well defined craft of imagery which primarily panders to stimulating sexual desires rendering its context or ‘story lines’ useless and inconsequential and are much like saying to an addict to ‘derive no physical or emotional response to the drug' they are reeling in – treachery in deceptive logic in where no point of reference is given and is very cruel and demeaning in nature given they have been rendered powerless to do so to which is similarly like hearing the serpent indwelt by Satan say once again 'you shall not surely die' - given that NO POINT OF REFERENCE OF DEATH EXISTED on which to derive an accurate consideration of the decision making process, but where words of enticement in vanity led to seduction - LOOKED AT the fruit and where DESIRE was roused (Proverbs 23:31?) - it worked once before right?
Pornography is clearly purposeful and determined, to ‘stimulate’ one singular reaction, sexual arousal. Advertising and marketing have used the “power of suggestion” for profit for decades and it is no mystery that predictive programming and games for young people illicit similarly one narrow response, as it is also purposeful and determined as these principles are well founded and long established in the study of psychology and psychiatry – a 'point of reference' unmistakably long determined and applied treacherously in all walks of life by 'bad actors' who only seek profit not quality or a bait and switch scheme obviously. It is clear that 'knowledge is power' but to which I add - 'but powerless without understanding.' More importantly, are the Lord Yeshua's Words which clearly state what is going on in this world - "My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge" - Hosea 4:6 .
Pornography clearly fails as an “art form” for the obvious reason listed above, but also because “expression further requires the compilation process or symbolism to evoke an emotional response.” (Crown of Thorns, 2013). Embodying the imagery in a ‘story line’ defeats its own purpose in simply qualifying it loosely as an ‘art form’ by its own standards of ‘art’ - in where “it is further problematic in that no idiom exists; no characteristic style or language exists what-so-ever within the language of art itself” which simply means that the inclusion of pedophilia, to which this film attempts to legitimize, renders the entire ‘catalog’ of "art" in pornography as a device contrived for commercial profit exploitation purposes which clearly is, what it is now. The contents of the ‘catalog’ or characteristic “language” obviously are the various forms of sexual gratifications of more outward artificial gimmick means of stimulation to which the question “how do you like your porn?” is as common as “what’s for dinner?” – An item of personal preference on the menu for consumption for those of similar ‘tastes’. Therefore, no EXPRESSION exists, nor does EXPLORATION by reason of the graphic ‘instruction’ as both expression and exploration are requirements to INTERPRETATION of art or the operation of the mind simply, but where WERE clearly STOLEN and replaced with an artificial stimulation device to which now children are NOW openly being made to be the very idiom, the symbolic ‘medium’ or item on the menu, for this public consumption of ‘prurient interests’ as an ‘art form’ obviously to which conversely, the production of such "art" is NOT limited to mutual consent but of exploitation and abuse.
Again, where an ‘item’ for which the contrived device is sexual stimulation which illicit, creates, draws (evokes) or provokes a singular narrow sexual biological arousal response enabling ‘prurient interests’ to thrive and grow, culminating with the expectation of gratification by some other physical means - whether it be by deception or force. A cheap, poorly written ‘instruction manual’ regardless of the story line context or content provided as it is used singularly to describe the form as it relates to it's category (rape, incest, pedophilia, bondage, etc..) and clearly are wholly irrespective of changing technologies as it relates to public display.
Pornography fails to recognize the victims to such abuses and similarly fails to provide simple reasonable redress or 'make one whole' these victims of exploitation and abuse, but where curiously sexual dysfunctions have increased within a relationship and addictions are directly as a result from such unwarranted and unreasonable amplified sexual stimulation to which crimes of rape, incest and the countless unwanted pregnancies and abortions, as well as other murders of silence perpetuates this vicious cycle.
Moreover it fails as a form of an ‘expression’ of speech for the same reason – interpretation of speech requires an idiom on which interpretation (quantification) may be made and the question of ‘obscenity’ – moot by this context - given that it has equated itself to repeatedly screaming out "fire" without manifestation or simply 'just cause' to do so. Obviously, for the unstable, immature and weak, this is a deliberate stumbling block for humanity as well on which the ideas and pathway to dignity itself are destroyed and are indiscernible.
Again, INTERPRETATION has been stolen by way of the absence of expression and exploration and therefore fails to qualify as an art form in and of itself; and in addition, fails to qualify to an 'expression of free speech' given that quantification is nonexistent and where now the question whether a ‘sexual deviant’ or “prurient interest” should require a ‘stumbling block’ on which to further trap and enslave the individual into a state which perpetually is one where the pursuits to satisfaction and contentment or simply ‘happiness’ are to never deliberately be fully realized outside of their biological response as they were obviously stolen to begin with – never mind that as citizens, all rights and pursuits have been similarly negated.
Always chasing a feeling and never an honest relationship with another – the reduction of the individual, a 'person', into a thing "TO BE" used, abused and thrown away at will - the altruistic VALUE or the sum total of a being to a "person" being regarded more by the sum of parts simply but where such standards are set arbitrarily by culture traditions given by civilized societies. The meaning behind dignity itself negated as it is God given but where clearly persons are reduced/subjugated to an impulse survival mode of the fittest frame of mindset like that of a mindless animal to which now begs the question as to just what are these ramifications set against dignity as they relate to the principles of freedom itself?
“To die – to sleep, No more: and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: ‘tis a consummation Devoutly to wish’d. To die to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause – there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who should bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, the pangs of dispriz’d love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a wearly life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere’d country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?”
The Supreme Court of the United States, I pray will revisit and 'right the wrong' as it were to this injustice of bondage itself and be the "voice" to the defenseless; as it is sensory deprivation in its most cruelest form and no doubt the reason why the demand for artificial 'sex toys' has rendered an individual useless in interpreting stimuli of the body (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch) other than to one's expectations to sexual gratification, and much less are astute enough in interpreting sensations/expressions within the context of tender intimate human interpersonal friendship relationship gestures.
Another form of egregious brutish abuse is where employment or other authority positions of 'advantage' are simply predatory sexually which exploits and extorts youth to which I believe rightly deserves the death penalty - it is the clear subjugation of the person to a 'thing' given to brutish sexual appetites and expectations of gratification. These forms of abuse has enslaved many into a perpetual state of arousal and frenzy much like how rooting swine are unaware of themselves outside consumption, and even less to the presence of others and are driven solely by the snout of consumption which further manifests not only in hostile every day work environments but in lost quality productivity.
The very absence of the principles of dignity which are not fostered within the nature of individuals but where behavior is enforced as Pavlov's dogs is exemplified by the cadence and demeanor of such persons, which again now robs them of any sense of virtue and dignity - a vicious self imposed cycle given by ignorance and impulse.
More simply, as a 'sophisticated' society of peace in perpetual defense of FREEDOM in where friendships are again "to be" fostered with care, consideration and thoughtfulness for the being of the person and not on the imaginations of sexual expectations - WE KNOW that life itself has meaning and purpose in the simple actions of edifying one another ... but where I question --- ARE WE COLLECTIVELY NOW ROOTING SWINE of consumption and envy instead or can one person make a difference, have a sense of reverence to God firstly and have considerations or a sense of direction other than to temporal lusts of desire "or not to be" 'evolved' to a higher state of being but obviously devolved into mindless brute beasts preying upon the other - "made to be taken and destroyed"?
“Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.”
By William Shakespeare – from Hamlet, spoken by Hamlet.
