I know every time I see a lightsaber battle I picture what it would be like if my wife, child or great aunt were being attacked by a sith lord with a lightsaber. That's why Star Wars should be banned. It's just too hard to differentiate fiction from reality and the actors consenting to be in that film for consenting viewers to watch it are missing the fact that it hurts my feelings to imagine my great aunt being sliced in half by a Sith Lord (even though I can simply choose to not watch the movie).
Free speech is only important when it is being used to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech is already protected by the masses, unpopular speech is what needs to be protected from the masses.
To be clear, ANY incident of nonconsensual violence or sex is wrong. Even a fictional example of violence or sex is wrong if it is nonconsensual. Nobody should ever be required to appear in a horror movie, porn movie or any other depiction of reality, where it is fictional or nonfictional. Nobody should ever be required to watch one either. This includes anyone under the age of consent, anyone intoxicated and unable to consent, anyone mentally ill who can not consent and so on. The law does a very good job of explaining what consent is and who can grant consent.
That's why war machine will go to jail or be executed (and should be) while De Niro, Foster, Mark Hamill and the casts of their films will continue being given academy awards.
The truth is that wet Tshirt contests with drunk women on a stage doing whatever they are legally unable to consent to, due to their intoxication level, are a far bigger problem than any consensual film ever made.
I completely agree no means no.
The corrolary to that is yes means yes.
Consent matters.
*** Notice my comments are not directed to or about anything involving stoya, James deen, etc... I know zero about the alleged incident, do not know the people involved and have no opinion on that matter other than to point out what matters is consent. In fact I am only posting in this thread because Kelli the OP disingenuously attempted to use my name in it as a way to create click bait for her hate blog. Otherwise I'd just say this is a matter for the courts to decide.***
