10 June 2020 Race and Porn - Culture Reframed online at 3pm ET (= 8pm BST?)

[stumbledin]

Just saw this on facebook for anyone interested:

"Remember, kids with a smart device are just one click away from free, hardcore porn, and we all need to recognize the racism depicted in porn. Carolyn West, PhD, an expert on the topic, joins Gail Dines, PhD, of Culture Reframed, for a discussion on how porn combines racist and sexist stereotypes. "

On twitter the other day, Pornhub announced they would only be running videos featuring black people, to support BLM. How kind of them eh?

Not to mention the number of videos they have with actors depicted as slaves. Truly revolting.

That's just sick.

Dear God did they? Wow, that is so tone deaf!

Yup.

(They appear to have taken the tweet down but this screenshot is still doing the rounds. Hopefully they realised it was not a good idea: I'm not going on their actual site to check.)

I wasn't able to join in this unfortunately. Shame as I bet it was really good and I like Gail Dines a lot. Did anyone else?

Porn is "interesting" I think in that it objectifies and stereotypes black women and black men.

@SunsetBeetch - if I have got my time conversion right the event is due to start in 30 mins.

The time on the notice is Eastern Standard time which is 5 hours behind us.

Oh silly me! And I've only just seen your message stumbledin What an eejit I am.
