Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Yeah, I think I agree, but I don't think it's that directors are lazy, they just lack the correct intentions.
For something to be art, it should make the audience think about it afterwards. Does it evoke any feelings? Is the artist trying to express an idea with the piece?
Typical pornography is made to get someone off and then they never have to think about it again. It's purely transactional. "Here is something attractive to look at while you jerk off. Please give me money and you can look at more"
But it doesn't have to be that way. There is no reason why you can't have work that has more substance.(heh) If you look at Japan, between pink films and eroge, they figured this out like 40 years ago.
Yeah completely agree, my dream would be to have genres as you do now (milf, pawg, petite, cheating) etc but with competent cinematography that is trying to say something. I mostly can't look at modern professional porn because I'm bored of all the still shots that were there decades before just with better color correction and 4K now I guess.
