@ok_post_guy right so the piece argues that some amount of porn available online is actually criminal and/or was created using elements of coercion or force. i say it's bad to view such material and then say it's hard to know what material is such. — PolitiTweet.org

what i am telling you is i literally just wrote down my views on porn in a prominent piece and you can read them. there's no hiding the ball here, they are written down in plain language for you to read — PolitiTweet.org

@Gottem45633742 right now the fashionable thing in the discourse is to write a piece that goes: X IS VERY SIMPLE AND EVERYONE ACTING LIKE IT'S NOT IS LYING, MALICIOUSLY, BECAUSE THEY'RE EVIL but i think most things are complicated and sort of ambiguous. that is what i really think — PolitiTweet.org

i think what you're identifying is that i don't give a shit about 99% of stuff percolating through the Discourse at any given time and don't weigh in because i have zero thoughts about it — PolitiTweet.org

@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy i think so too. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy right, and writing about important issues does not come with the responsibility to produce upon demand one's innermost thoughts on a range of *other* subjects lol — PolitiTweet.org

@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy i am literally just a writer, and jon stewart is literally just a comedian. people who got wrapped up in jon stewart and thought he was a spiritual guru or whatever had the problem, not jon stewart — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@ok_post_guy @torchbearer91 think about it: i have power because i can write and a lot of people will read it. therefore my power extends only so far as i write stuff down. therefore if the stuff is not written down, it's no different than any other random person's thought. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy disagree! i'm a writer, not a politician. i don't have any more power than the next writer, and less than most. i put my stuff out there, and people read it. my power thus extends to the things i write -- and only thus far! i don't have to submit my whole soul as a product — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy if people want to know my, like, innermost notions and vaguely developed thoughts on whatever subjects they find important in a candidate/influencer/kween/spokesperson for their twitter clique, i would ask that they just let me be what i am: a writer, not any of those things. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy in 99% of "state your policy position on subject x" cases, i just don't have a policy position on subject x, or any particular personal feeling about it. i have strong feelings about the relatively small number of subjects i know things about and reserve judgment on the rest — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@torchbearer91 @ok_post_guy oh you don't have to respect me at all! i'm a writer, not a candidate running for office. what i write is what i've got for you. whatever else i may think, whatever people dream up and ascribe to me, is not only strange but irrelevant: it just doesn't matter — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@ok_post_guy i'd further add that the impulse to end every piece with a policy recommendation and a "therefore we ought to" is a mass market nonfiction editor thing that's fine for op-eds and a cancer on essays — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@ok_post_guy i think the answer here is that people will have to decide for themselves that this matters lol, it's written right there. you screencapped it! — PolitiTweet.org

@DrWallkick It wasn't that he was becoming addicted, it's that he was becoming bored by ordinary sex and excited exclusively by specific kinds of sex. He didn't mind the latter thing, he just didn't want to become bored by ordinary sex. That's why he deliberately reduced his use. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@DrWallkick He didn't want to be someone for whom sex itself was unerotic. Why should that desire be subordinate to some other desire? Why are latent desires more meaningful than super-ordinate desires? — PolitiTweet.org

@jailrespecter yuh covered in the piece! — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
I think people generally don't want to consume material that's a.) actually criminal or b.) just an artifact of somebody else's suffering, through which the person is in some sense re-victimized. I just don't think they're given great guidance on how to avoid that right now. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
One element of porn I find particularly unexplored is the porousness of the line between 'real' and 'fake' — so much shoddy dismissal of the subject comes down to 'well, porn's not real life.' But recent litigation and criminal investigations have proven that yes, some of it is. — PolitiTweet.org
