And to Violet: Considering that I not only listed Ms. Thompson’s name in my own blog entry about her ranting and pixelatted stalking of you, but even went so far as to include her real name in the title of my post; I’d think that I would be far more a target for any police actions by her. Fortunately, both the First Amendment and proper netiquette (and the fact that she herself put her real name out there in her original response to you, which she ironically first claimed to be an act of “censorship”) protects both your and my right to expose her slipshodness for the world to see.

Besides…even her Deviant Art photo page from which she herself posts her real name isn’t immune from her political ideology…she proudly lists Robert Jensen’s antiporn extremist tome Getting Off: Pornography and Masculinity as her primary reading source.

In other words, she makes Orly Taitz seem sane in comparison.

I am not the first online outlet to publish Ms. Thompson’s name on the internet. I found it through Google very easily, here:

“Antifeminist MRA’s and antiporn radfems are more closer to each other than they are to the rest of the real world”

Really? I tend to think the rest of the world are somewhere in the middle, in a tug-o-war match between the afore mentioned groups. I as an antifeminist MRA don’t tend to think of myself as anywhere near an antiporn feminist; because I support the right of people to choose whatever jobs they want, including being a porn star. In addition, I don’t believe in other major tenets of feminism such as patriarchy theory, as I find it historically lacking and a borderline conspiracy theory, not that different from what NWO supporters profess.

Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.

The reason why I posted the comment I posted here int he first place was because I checked out this page out of curiosity, then I find out the kind of shit that Antique was writing to Violet Blue. She supports violence against women because she likes porn? What the fuck? Ashley needs to grow the fuck up and stop acting like a child.

Unfortumately, like IACB, I’ve battled her kind countless times before (though never to the extent of the extreme dwama gueen heights that Ms. Thompson seems to scale with ease). It does seem as if she’s more into trolling for attention and publicity, all the while playing the “damsel in distress being censored for her ‘radical’ views” card to the hilt.

It would be so easy to just ignore her and not feed her Messiah complex…but the sad thing is, her ideology concerning porn and sex work is slowly but steadily being digested and consumed by plenty of “progressive” and “liberal”, if not “leftist” intellectuals and personalities, and that is making the struggle for expanding sexual freedom and defending sexual expression that much more difficult. Far better to expose her to the light of day and then ridicule her extreme behavior than to let it fester and suddenly explode.

I should say, though, that I have an equal problem with the response of TheMadShangi, whose brand of “masculinism”/MRA lunacy feeds as much into and reenforces the equal lunacy of antiiquelens’ brand of antipornradfem madness. Sorry, but the answer to her claims that “all men are rapists, and any woman who likes and uses porn as a personal means of sexual pleasure is either an enabler of rapists or simply a brainless slut” should NOT be “Yes, men are rapists and women are sluts; that’s what we like about it!!! So what?”

Antifeminist MRA’s and antiporn radfems are more closer to each other than they are to the rest of the real world; maybe they should take their smackdowns to a far away island and leave the rest of us alone.

At any rate, good job refuting her madness.

The only thing I’d fault in your response, Violet, is that you gave her a blog post and link at all, because its largely succeeded in generating publicity for her video channel, which is probably her intention to begin with. But you probably know this.

As could be predicted, she’s posting numerous followup videos trying to milk this for all its worth. She’s accused Violet of “censoring” her for not posting her responses here in the comments. Highly ironic, since this is AL’s exact m.o. vis a vis blocking pretty much all critical commentators on her channel, but then consistency between what she dishes out and the kind of treatment she demands from others has never exactly been AL’s strong suit.

But I think the satire really falls flat when we have the corrective voice of the “real” Ashley Anne. To compare great things with small, it’s as if Jonathan Swift cropped up in the middle of “A Modest Proposal” to earnestly declaim, “No! The eating of children is WRONG!” It would have been more effective to stay in the VB persona and make the satire work purely on the merits of the mockery. But that, I’m afraid, is where the talents of Ashley-Anne stop unceremoniously at the water’s edge.

Thanks for posting the link to this, VB, and thanks for your always thoughtful writing on the many subjects you tackle.

I found myself wondering what it means to be Anti Quelens. Leave the Quelens alone!

Er, but how does that affect a relationship negatively? Probably depends on the person, but never undervalue the power of human reasoning, which is also an important function of the human brain. If anything, a failed monogamous relationship “affected negatively by porn” is likely just the result of a lack of common sense, devotion, or intimate compatibility, and not the porn itself.

By the way, I do get the impression that despite the hate messages and poorly supported counter-arguments, that she is indeed a big fan of yours, since she apparently seems to enjoy cosplaying you. ^_~

Seriously? It’s so much easier to blame an object. It was the porn, the games, the chess, the D&D, the Beethoven, whatever the moral-panic-of-the-moment may be, it always looks ridiculous over later decades, yet even now people can’t stop.
