I am still talking about that amateur p--- documentary, and tbh it did feel very morality tale-y at times but I also honestly don’t really see how it could have had a different message with what they were showing. it’s just so obviously violent and degrading, like the girls in the film say that themselves. there was one interview where one of them talked about a really degrading scene she has done and she says ‘you know at least those people that watch that can watch me and don’t do it to anyone, for me it’s like I do that and get paid and walk away’ and I was obviously thinking ‘but it is being done to you’ (i feel like thats what the film wanted me to think) but I’m also thinking about that in relation to like ‘supply and demand’ (which one of the girls also mentioned I think) and how the demand for p--- in general is really tied to capitalism and more specifically to the patriarchy because it exists just sort of right at the intersection of degrading women/making them objects and making a shit ton of money.
so like, I’ve always wanted to believe that feminist p--- could have been a possibility (like I know that there are small female-run prod. companies but tbh I don’t feel like they’re changing anything) but I’m starting to think that p--- can only exist in a patriarchal and capitalist system....
