Between Aquaman, Captain Marvel, and Avengers: Endgame, all the effects studios have been booked for months.

We see the same things over and over because most people know what they want and they can't get enough of it -- and producers know what's easily filmed and what's a solid investment. This genre is not lacking creativity -- it's lacking any financial motivation for creativity. The variety we do get i...

Cults thrive on jargon. Jargon makes dismissal of outsiders easy and rebuttal of cult teachings tedious. It's basic social engineering.

Tempest in a teacup. The gig sucks, and Kevin Hart is probably glad to be rid of it.

Any fetish genre actress I pick as a template couldn't be coded without inevitably crashing the MCP, breaking out of the theme park, and wreaking wonderful havoc in the real world. Somehow I would convince them to install me as their guy in the chair.

They're not all going to have big tits. They're just not going to cast live-action comic book roles with a measuring tape. Winstead can sell badass onscreen. She's done it many times. She's great for Huntress. Even if the costume sucks. Which of course it will. But look at it this way. This movie wi...

What's the nomination process?
It may simply be that the studios/clips you thought worthy escaped notice.
Or it could be that there's a bias against material that's too non-consensual.

Imagineer

I don't think you understand the issue that well. I understand the objection. You don't seem to understand that "choosing who he wants to work with" IS, EXACTLY, accepting certain requests from some people but not others. And that the performers too are choosing with whom they want to wor...

I don't think your analogy is very good at all. You're not in class. You're not being sent to the principal's office. He doesn't represent an institution, let alone one of learning. And you're implying the reason you're not getting a cookie is arbitrary or inscrutable. There's no need to come up wit...

The difference is in your imagination. You're making a huge deal and taking offense because you don't like the way in which I expressed my opinion. I cannot help your inability to let go of this distinction that you've invented in your head because you don't like being criticized. It's been a long t...

Imagineer

Your MAJOR problem is pure semantics. You're pissed because people didn't tiptoe respectfully enough in the way they phrased their disagreement with your phrasing. That's where we are now. You're allcapping and boldfacing that you have the right to criticize something and no one has the right to cri...

Imagineer

I did NOT tell you to shut up. You are, probably deliberately, misinterpreting colloquialisms that OTHER people said -- "you can't call her BBW" or "stop calling her BBW" as a command to literally stop speaking, because you're angry about being criticized and want the cover of ta...

Imagineer

You say you recognize the importance of the costume, and then get hung up on the fact that they used a different name. (Funny that you care more about the name used....) In this genre, that's not a valid criticism. So either you don't know how the genre works, or your reviews are a reflection of you...

Imagineer

Can't put much stock in a review that doesn't know what BBW is and doesn't recognize the significance of the costume.

Imagineer

If the studios you're following don't make the content you like, inquire about commissioning custom content, or expand your horizons and follow other studios. Word of advice: discuss a topic first, and then when you have a feel for some of the differing opinions, if you're dying to know what the lur...

Spiderwoman is not on-topic. But keep repeating it if it makes you feel better.

You're not comparing behind-the-scenes set photos to old promotional photos, are you? The promotional stills are enhanced, and BTS shots are seldom flattering (and often flattening). I honestly don't know why I still watch the show. There are always three too many characters, setups are too obvious ...

Don't underestimate the ability of the sexually-repressed, and those who benefit from sexual repression, to mobilize.

And do the different colors worn by the eco-heroines have a thematic significance, e.g. related to a unique power/weakness each heroine has, or to the source of their powers, e.g. brown for earth, red for fire, teal/aqua for water? Is there a fixed number of heroines that always/need to work as a te...

So, Hanna, which cartoon episodes contain your favorite story/peril elements or do you find most inspiring?

If demand outstrips production capacity, surely a producer has the right to choose what he's going to produce, and with whom he wants to work, as long as he doesn't violate the law. He might even be able to get away with being a dick to some people. Your ability to support the industry is not impact...

Don't wait for a co-writer. Just start writing some stories. You don't have to publish the first one you write if you don't like it, but the only way to write well is to write poorly first, so get started. And don't think you have to start with your origin story; it's a natural place to start, but s...

There are no conflicting messages, except within the African American community. For everyone else the message has been crystal clear for decades: if you're not black, you can't use the word, period, because when you use it it's an ugly racial slur, period. EXCEPT of course if you're playing the par...

1. Is it racism porn? Or is it creating a female character to be taken down by a black male by being sexually abused for using the word? Your "or" implies exclusive choice. It can be both. 2. Geeky, are you black or are you projecting onto others your anticipated feelings? Come on, man, i...

Earlier you asked this Could you look a group of African Americans in their eyes and say racism porn is an acceptable fetish? and I stopped at "a group of" because it implies lack of familiarity. Now you've asked this Have you never talked about porn with friends? which is a very different...

It absolutely is inflammatory to deliberately conflate real-world behavior with fantasies and fictional portrayals. Violence in video games, satanic messages on rock'n'roll records, the stink of the lie is decades old. You completely discredit yourself.

Imagineer

Could you look a group of We can stop right there, because sexuality and any fetish is so taboo that you do not speak about it in polite company or with people you're not sure can handle discussing the topic with you. How would you feel if the majority of racism porn targeted or featured your race?...

Does anyone else see the distinction GeekyPornCritic making as a meaningful one? Does anyone else agree? Because I do not see that he's made his case. I don't see evidence that the clip(s) were made as racist propaganda. It is of course possible that white supremacists could find and purchase the cl...

Imagineer

There's another way to look at this. All these heroines are siren martyrs, and they're taking advantage of the universal weakness of genre villains. These villains can't just get on with the business of actual villainy against society -- they are universally drawn upon the rocks of compulsive violen...

Imagineer

Video games promote casual murder with regularity -- by the protagonist/player. That the protagonist/player is technically a criminal doesn't change the fact that the games reward violence and don't punish the protagonist/player. It's a fantasy -- a mainstream one, clearly.

Imagineer

GeekyPornCritic, you have more than once dodged a basic issue by saying that not all SHIP features violence toward women, and that superheroines don't exist. Yes or no -- do you put SHIP featuring violence toward women in the same category as the racially-charged clip you find so offensive? You know...

GIGA has been dipping their toe in English subtitles again... but it seems they seldom do it for the best-sellers. I suspect they may be doing subtitles as a way to capture sales they wouldn't get without them. They subbed Spandexer Zero 2 but not Spandexer 7 or Spandexer Zero 3. *shrug*

The apple analogy is particularly appropriate, as you often DO know that the apple will be bad without biting into it. Sure, not EVERY apple, but if you are that risk-averse that you can't afford one bad apple, you should only be biting into a firm clean polished unblemished apple that you bought fr...

You're trying to establish and maintain a continuity across your projects, yes? How is that playing out with patrons wanting custom projects?

What has surprised you about running your own shop?

Imagineer

Don't blame the whole orchard for biting into a bad apple. Following all the rules starts with being a wary buyer, continues with not adding conditions after a deal is struck, and requires recognizing when you've made an error and rolling with the result as a learning experience for next time. And i...

Did you ask / did they say WHY they're blocking certain zip codes and cities based on IP address? Too much fraud? Too many chargebacks? Or community standards? Is it a requirement that the IP match the billing address, or would they block based on billing address anyway, such that VPN is not a worka...

Oh yay. Another cluster of posts infected with the They virus.

From the start, this thread wasn't a discussion, but an excuse to paste up a paper They and take potshots at it.

Have you provided that feedback directly to the proprieter of Clips4sale?

They don't want people who aren't looking for erotica to find it by accident -- because the vast majority of customers who aren't looking for erotica don't want it cluttering their search results.

But Amazon wants everybody to buy everything from Amazon. And some people want to buy erotica.

Some thoughts -- Superhero costumes can be thought to descend from old military uniforms (before camouflage and dress uniforms) -- when the uniform identified the soldier and intimidated his enemy (and the villagers). A superhero's costume can provide anonymity through distraction. Drop in on a bank...

I would hate for a producer to think they could take the numerical results of this poll and turn them into a more successful product.
