Calico Rudasil is a feature columnist for Sssh.com, the award-winning porn site for women & couples. With over 18 years’ experience under her belt, writing about and for the adult entertainment industry, Calico qualifies as something of a Web Porn Dinosaur; similar to a tyrannosaurus, only with far more attractive arms and a less pronounced overbite.
As someone who writes about porn a lot, it should come as no surprise I’m also someone who reads a lot of what other people write about porn, as well.
Especially when reading anti-porn screeds, this porn-reading habit of mine can be a dizzying, tiresome experience, filled with wacky twists and turns, as I follow some of the most freaked-out people on earth down some very strange rabbit holes.
At a time when net neutrality is on everybody’s mind, it makes sense porn companies would be among those speaking out about the need to maintain net neutrality. Of course, this also means there will be people who are quick to shame the entire pro-net neutrality crowd by lambasting them for the pornographic company they keep.
And then there’s Jack Posobiec – yes that Jack Posobiec, of Pizzagate and disrupting “Julius Caesar” fame – who took this whole shaming-by-proximity thing to a whole new (and very low) level.
A Flyer, A Fool And A Lame, Nonsensical Explanation
In his latest dumb stunt, Posobiec distributed misleading flyers at a “Net Neutrality Day of Action” event near the offices of the U.S. Senate. The flyers, which reportedly included a claim they’d been written at the behest of the organizers of the Women’s March and the pro-net neutrality group Fight for the Future, thanked Democratic Senators for “protecting our quality violent porn content” and “ritual Satanic porn videos.”
Posobiec also reportedly followed Senators leaving the Senate building asking them “Why do you support this rally of Satanic porn?”
I’m sure in Posobiec’s mind, this was some very clever shit. In the minds of everyone else, though, it was just pathetically transparent trolling and a miserable waste of time.
“It was obviously fake,” said Brian Tashman, an ACLU researcher who spotted Posobiec handing out the flyers. “The people I spoke to, they all knew.”
Gee, you mean the folks at the rally could see through a brilliant ruse in which the Women’s March was purporting to thank Senators for their support of violent and Satanic porn? I’m stunned.
When called on his stunt, Posobiec spouted a bit of nonsense doublespeak which I’m sure he thought was just as clever as the flyer itself.
“I never once claimed anyone else made the flyers,” Posobiec told the Daily Beast. “No dirty tricks here. I in no way attempted to say that these flyers were made by anyone but myself.”
Riiight – he just put the headers from Fight for the Future and the Women’s March at the top because he liked their design aesthetic, I’m sure.
‘Raising Awareness,’ One Lame-Brained Stunt At A Time
Describing the flyers as “tongue-in-cheek,” Posobiec said the flyers were simply an attempt to “let the gathered media aware of the fact that Fight for The Future is standing with PornHub and Red Tube today.”
In his next breath, though, Posobiec described an intent which sounds less tongue-in-cheek than head-up-ass.
“I also intended to raise awareness about the existence of this appalling material on these websites, such as videos of US Border
Agents raping illegal Mexican immigrant women, as well as Satanic porn and snuff videos,” Posobiec claimed.
No shit? Were these Satanic Border Patrol snuff videos filmed in the basement of a pizza joint, by any chance?
Here’s an idea for Jack’s next attention-getting, oh-so-educational stunt: Raise awareness of how much it sucks to get punched in the brain by Stipe Miocic. Hell, if he were to do that, the Woman’s March might even endorse the flyer for real!
There’s Another Kind Of Porn?
If there’s one thing that confounds me about Posobiec’s flyer (on top of its utter pointlessness, I mean) it’s the fact he singled out only a certain manner of ritualistic porn as being “Satanic.” I mean, if I remember my Aleteia-published porn-sermons correctly, all porn is Satanic – or is loved by Satan, at any rate.
“Using pornography churns a vortex of sin that Satan uses to drag whole groups of people — performers, programmers, sellers, and unsuspecting bystanders — down to his lair,” explains Tom Hoopes in the post linked above.
Wait, that’s why it’s so fucking hot outside my house right now? And here I thought it was just because I live in Arizona. I guess my husband was right; this state really is Hell!
