Not to mention the fact that what is called 'tasteful nude' today would have been called lewd p*rn*gr*phy 60 years ago.He's not the only artist, or the first to try to elevate p*rn*gr*phy to an art form.
So far the only people 'defending' Terry are Les sucettes and I (so much for his detractors being the minority ) and we both acknowledge that his work is p*rn*gr*ph*c (I even say I don't see any artistry in it at all).What now, are his supporters gonna defend that as artistic p*rn? Because there is no way in hell that picture was artistic.
If you find Terry's work vulgar, gross, etc, fine. I fail to see how that is personally demeaning to you or any other woman but fine.
However, the issue here is Terry being accused of being a sexual predator, and you better have so proof to back up that serious accusation.
Exactly. Is there any basis to these accusations?Where are the pictures of young girls Terry's done all these horrible, nasty things to?
I have seen that p*rn*gr*ph*c picture posted. The woman in it us a p*rn actress. She isn't a 'poor teenager' dragged into the shoot against her will.
Where are the pictures of underage models doing p*rn shoots with Terry? It seems everybody is in agreement that it's what he does, but where are the pictures? Where are the pictures of 16 years-old giving him oral sex?
According to whom? The models certainly had no problem with the shoot. Abbey even got on record about how much she enjoyed it.The editorial in Purple Magazine with Magda, Freja, Abbey Lee and Eniko just about did it for me. This man is a very sick individual. How did he even come about asking the models to do such acts?? I agree with Karen, some of his work is good...but most of it is very lewd and degrading to the models in them.
Maybe this would have been degrading to you, but here you are just projecting.
If, as I believe because I've never seen evidence of the contrary, all the models from his most explicit shoots are legal and willing participants, then who cares? What another woman choose to do with her body and/or her vagina is her prerogative and says nothing about you.
I am also disturbed by the double standards. Why trash Terry for his work when so many women are happy to indulge his fantasies? Why not trash the women too? Oh, I forgot, the women are defenceless victims...
This pseudo-feminism is usually thinly veiled 'sl*t shaming' or people trying to enforce their own moral standards onto others (i.e., moral proselytism). Call me when Terry break any decency laws.
