It must be cool to be a conservative and spend exactly half your time about college students being too sheltered from the real world because of all the damn censorship and the other half of your time about college students being exposed to something you don’t like in a critical manner.
The concept of university “exposing” students to hardcore porn is so moronic.
Literally every curious 14-year-old has immediate access to infinite hardcore/fetish porn at their fingertips 24/7.
If your grownass college student child is interested in hardcore pornography, they can literally just take out their phone, it takes less than a minute.
It must be nice to be a conservative period.
They won the culture war, so they wake up every goddamn day getting a blowjob from the internet. IRL is also a never-ending circlejerk for them. Fox News, OAN, Breitbart, and stormfront are the “normal” people news, and fucking CNN is seen as fringe media for dangerous subversives doing wrongthink. Most people you run into are far-right, and being to the left of Hitler makes you socially isolated.
I think we should analyse porn, also college kids are old enough who caree. the biggest issue is the sex pest freaks are also gonna take that class
if anybody is not absolutely disgusted by the exploitation of the sex workers on screen at all times, 150ccs of ice water to the face
I volunteer to spray people in the face with cold water everytime they show a hint of arousal.

I’m glad you’re so willing to engage with horny people. If the Volcel Police are recruiting, you should join.
On the other hand one of the pre-reqs for being a film major is being a sex pest freak.
I think they’ll get filtered out early. If I was the professor, I’d just have gay porn on the first day and break down the fucked up shit there.
idk. I think it’s useful to see how racial fetishes/stereotypes come into play if you’re discussing that (negative) part of the industry, for example. seeing a white actress scream the n-word in a mainstream porn video probably has a different impact than reading what I just wrote, for example. or seeing how emotions and relationships are portrayed on screen. or even just seeing what acting actually looks like in a multi billion dollar industry. seeing what aspects are faked and how.
Took a cinema class once about 10 yrs ago. Most of it was “highbrow exploitation” as the prof put it - stuff like “Demonlover” from france or “Bad Education” from GOAT Almodovar.
However, we did two weeks where we basically did 70’s porn - watched Deepthroat and then also an arty film where a guy jerks it to some gay porn from the 80’s maybe? I think it might have been called k-y-p or something like that? I can’t remember, sadly.
Granted, we also had some total bangers early on - “Man with a Movie Camera,” “Germany Year 0,” “Breathless.” and “Peeping Tom.” For a class on “Spectatorship”, though, you eventually have to deal with porn.
If you’re analyzing the viewer (rather than the text) then sometimes porn can be an object of analysis.
the biggest issue is the sex pest freaks are also gonna take that class
As long as the professor is prepared to deal with them that’s probably a good thing
The sex pests all drop when they realize that the class is 5 mins of watching a porn clip and 85 mins of talking about patriarchy and cishet sexual norms.
(Pointing to a voluntary course available exclusively for adults)
HELP THEYRE FORCIBLY INDOCTRINATING MY CHILDREN
Not only that but this is a relatively high level film course so the prerequisites are going to prevent just anybody from going
I dunno how those classes work in the US, but is there anything stopping people from attending? Like, I can’t enroll in neurobiology classes at my uni but there’s nothing stopping me from just showing up, listening and even participating. I just won’t get credit for it.
I don’t think this is a big deal at all but the thought of just walking into a hardcore pornography class because lmao is kinda funny.
Should have screened “Call Me By Your Name” because the gay sex is hotter.
brb writing a presentation on called “the male gays”
So you can voluntarily sign up for the class as an adult. Nobody is forcing you to do it. Why are conservatives whining again? This is perfectly fine with their ideology isn’t it?
Moral puritanism. Unironically a class like this might get less people to actually watch porn (isn’t that what the conservatives want?) once they realise how messed up a lot of it is. (That’s assuming the people that sign up for the class are not a bunch of creeps though).
yeah but they might stop for reasons involving the sex industry’s mind-boggling violence aginst women and links to human trafficking.
Chuds want people to stop for reasons to do with insane theories about vital essences they stole from dr Srangelove
