A comment I left on this Uncouth Reflections post/debate about "creepshots" -- pictures taken of girls in perfectly public places, without their knowledge, and possibly shared digitally:
Someone should troll the feminist sites, along the lines of
creepshots being a blessing in disguise — with creepshots easily and
freely available to young males, the demand for pornography will dry up,
and so put an end to mankind’s most patriarchally exploitative rape
industry.
From the comments at Jizzabel, they seem to think the opposite — that
creepshots are not a substitute for porn, but a separate vice of
getting off on violating a girl’s privacy / consent without her even
knowing. They glibly conclude that this is the obvious motivation, since
otherwise they’d just be watching porn.
It never occurs to them that maybe the creepshot takers and consumers
are turned off by tattooed sluts, feel pathetic relying on fake paid
women to jerk off to, can’t tune out the fact that the women are broken
screw-ups and feel dirty watching them, are turned off by vileness,
don’t feel like hearing “actresses” shouting fake orgasms like retards
and taking them out of the mood, prefer a little mystery (identity and
clothing-wise) to remain surrounding the girls they’re jerking off to,
or any other number of reasons why they’d substitute creepshots for
porn.
When you think about what their alternatives are now, and have been
recently, the creepshot phenomenon looks more like a turn back in the
wholesome direction. More like a high schooler pointing out to his
friends the chick who’s bending over her desk, than the sad isolated
middle-aged bachelor fapping to Throatfuckers 27 HD.
Off topic, but interest in, discussion of the CIA seems to be generational.
ReplyDeleteAs you've noted before, you can't even get female nudity in mainstream movies anymore - it's all gratuitous glimpses of HGH fueled men's bodies. As far as normal heterosexual outlets are concerned, you have models in bathing suits and explicit hardcore sex and not a lot of territory being covered in between.
ReplyDeleteThis made me think of Sailer's Taki article on feminism today. From what I hear, most normal, attractive girls actually kind of like being photographed by a stranger. Angry, bitter feminists, on the other hand, will find something to get upset about in anything. No one would care except that they someone seem to get cultural power out of proportion to their numbers and this kind of thought seeps into the general public.
Even if creepshots didn't exist, if you were ever a semi-attractive girl in your life, scores of dudes have probably imagined you while jerking off, so there's not much difference.
and this seems like more of an anti-social, cocooning trend. BTW, are comments working?
ReplyDeleteI don't support creepshots. I hope the trend dies out quickly. I don't believe girls enjoy having their picture taken in public by strangers either, as its an aggressive act. ? maybe some personalities do, but I doubt that most do.
ReplyDeleteMen can check out young, clean women in public if they want to, giving them some kind of outlet like creepshots is going to far IMO.
"Even if creepshots didn't exist, if you were ever a semi-attractive girl in your life, scores of dudes have probably imagined you while jerking off, so there's not much difference."
Its not the same, as when some guy jerks off, he is keeping it to himself.
Two of your comments went into spam for some reason. Don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThere's an abundance of alternatives to surreptitious photographs of random women.
ReplyDeleteGoogle image search is an easy, more wholesome alternative to hardcore porn.
At the same time, the abuse of the word creep, both as an adjective and a noun is one of the surest signs of social degradation today.
