Too Much Nick

Juliette Tang, SF Bay Guardian (via bethylefty)

Jesus, Mary, and fuck. An article about the world of hipster gonzo porn. Gonzo porn isn’t hipster. Gonzo porn is mainstream! Gonzo porn is BangBros! Frat guys in a van or an office with little or no pretense!

Every sweeping statement in this article is a lie (“It seems like everything is getting hipstered out these days. From clothing to music to even the rebranding of the Pepsi logo”) and it’s one reason why the only phrase more laughable than “journalism” is “sex journalism.” The so-called sex journalists railing against the status quo are promoting an equally fictitious world bearing no resemblance to the readers’ lives.

“For what can be more sincere than a cumshot?” asks this writer, who has apparently never ever seen a guy grunt on a bored lady’s face. Not only is she swimming in the mud of writing-about-porn cliches, she’s also lathering up with writing-about-hipster sludge. Get me someone who can write about, I don’t know, what porn stars like to do when they fuck off-camera, or stories about the thousands of girls who’ve done just one or two scenes, and how that affects them day-to-day. Go do some real journalism. For what can be more insincere than a think-piece?
