I couldn’t agree more with this article more. SG isn’t a feminist movement, or revolutionary. It’s porn, plain and simple, but markets it self as something empowering for women. Now, I have no problem with porn at all, but don’t sit there and try to tell me that you’re some amazing movement when your site is nothing more than a bunch of naked chicks who happen to color their hair and have tattoos and peircings (and we know how edgy that still is today…). I don’t think alt-porn is a bad idea at all, but, competitor site, Burning Angel, has a much better idea of what they’re doing. BA admits straight up that it’s JUST (alt)PORN, nothing more. They’re not parading around some high flying feminist flag. They’re just a site with naked punk rock chicks. They also play on the fact that porn is funny. Porn isn’t meant to be empowering, it’s something for dudes to whack off to, or for people to laugh at.
After reading this article, and hearing all about who runs the site, it just fueled my hate for that site a little bit more. So, SG, stop pretending to be a revolution and just show us them tattooed titties!
