I believe in lots of things. But if there's at least something I don't believe in, it's the so-called "Rules of the Internet." I don't believe in using the word "porn" in the context of describing ANYTHING visually appealing. The term pornography appeals to things sensually appealing and erotic. What I hate (and you can send me bad comments all you want, I don't care) is when people just use the word porn loosely to mean ANYTHING appealing or attractive. If I want to see something appealing, I'd just go visit some random website with images of hot women.
This "Rule 34" thing ("there's porn of everything, no exceptions.") is something I get tired of easily. Most things aren't porn in the traditional sense or in the usual sense (visually appealing and sensual imagery), but I get sick of this word thrown around loosely to mean ANYTHING visually appealing. It's the people who are like, "people go on the Internet to look at porn." I don't use "porn" as a tag for my videos. I don't mention sex as a tag for my material. I'm not desperate for views or looking for cheap attention.
So all I ask is... save "porn" for the adult industry. Nothing outside of the adult entertainment industry is so appealing that it's on the level of any Playboy model or anything like that. Never have I been someone to become really indulgent in pop culture and Internet lingo. At times, I do use expressions like "FTW," but I keep it extremely limited. I prefer proper English and not become overly indulged in pop culture expresisons and Internet lingo.
These are just my own views. You are certainly welcome to like or dislike this. Still, that's my post.
