Given the discussions of my other posts, I'm curious if the "badge" of porn is even relevant anymore - other thoughts?
We now live in a time where images are overwhelmingly constant. The level of differentiation, thought, technical understanding and skill is observably less and less while cameras and software do more and more for us.
The barriers to photography that once allowed it to practice some level of differentiation are all but gone.
Think about it. Why do we consider an explicit painting or drawing more artistic than an similar image captured by camera?
As art evolved, the label of "porn" has moved and changed along with changes in social norms and through pushing of boundaries of acceptability. Open legs on either men or women were originally intended specifically for sexual gratification (porn) and now are often seen as "art." The list goes on.

We argue here that somehow an "ikea" image of a person, clothed or not clothed differentiated only by who took the image - not by style, quality, message/statement or even impact - is somehow more acceptable than images that show penises, vulva, sexuality, or whatever.....

I will suggest this: With the ever real and increasing presence of sexuality in our societies, what really drives the label of porn now is a desire for one person to somehow feel superior to another and NOT by any substantive quality beyond that.
