For what it's worth, I thought the accusations of 'blatant sexism' and 'objectification of women' were tedious, humourless, and probably not worthy of comment. But the 'stimulation to rape' accusation does 'cross the line' - not only because of the way such accusations have been used by narrow-minded bigots in the past to try to censor books, films, etc., but also because it comes much too close to implying that such 'stimulation' or 'provocation' might explain, and therefore partly excuse, violent criminal behaviour.
On the other hand, I find knygathin's recent claim that he can tell whether a woman is conscious or not by looking at her arse intriguing.

A lot of fun, I thought. But then I'm the author of Pulsating Posteriors and Submissive Misses.

Well, he's entitled to his opinion and you are to yours, Mr K, but to brand us all as misogynist and rapists because of one picture is stunningly daft. Humourless, too, but then where does it say sense of humour is the same across the board. Instead of getting steamed an accusatory, try and think about this... On this site there are a lot of old paperbacks. Back in the day, publishers (like movie makers) used sexism and skin to flog any old tat. If you actually bothered to think about it, you'd realise that Gregory Pendennis is a good old fashioned (if affectionate) piss-take of Dennis Wheatley, who was not above a bit of tittilation. Neither were his publishers. Similarly, the image as a whole was a satire on those old magazine and book covers. Anyone who has been on this site for a while would realise that. You don't have to be a misogynist and rapist to appreciate that, surely? Although perhaps you do need to have a sense of humour fail. What's really annoyed me about this is that you are slandering the man who created the parody - and a nicer, less predjudiced bloke in any way, shape or form than Dem you'd have to go a long way to find. You can think what you like about the rest of us, but the fact is you missed the point, made a stupid accusation, and should apologise to him. (I was about to respond to Pulphack, then my text crashed, I got back to the thread and see it flooded with comments. I have done it again, haven't I? This is getting out of hand.) Apologize? Aren't you exaggerating just a little bit? And where then is your humour now? I attacked the picture, not Demonik. I refuse to apologize to Demonik; he seems an excellent fellow. Initially I poked winkingly at Demonik, returning his "Words fail me", initially aimed at me. I think I did that in good humour. It really is quite amusing to observe the state of human behaviour. How, when I first draw up differences between men and women, everyone comes rushing in collectively, driven by the spirit of 'political correctness', accusing me of being sexist. Then, on this later occasion, when I defend women the other way, everyone turns 180 degrees around, suddenly running on me from the opposite direction to defend their fantasies stirring between the legs. 'Rapist' is the extreme end of the scale. I hardly think anyone here would go that far, anymore than in society at large. Still the fantasy here is egoistic control, and where the blurry border of control slips over into rape can easily be repressed and denied. I wouldn't say I am humourless. Well, I am humourless in some areas. I am a serious person. Humour and laughter are simply release of personal tension, that's why people laugh at different things (and tend to accuse each other of being humourless). I laugh uncontrollably at some things, other things make me upset. My agitation on this subject is at the same time partly an act (believe it or not, I laugh in-between). I want to turn things upside down, and make people think and analyse themselves. I am allergic to political correctness, self-denial, and hypocrisy. Become self-aware. Honesty. Admit you are primitive cavemen, and I will have no problem with it. Then maybe we can take the next step and transcend, to become a higher race of beings. I have egoistic fantasies too. Humans are merely crude animals with freak brains, and we mostly flounder around in denial and illusions about reality. None of these inconsequentialities are worth defending or taking seriously. That's why I don't feel guilty about provoking people's sacred cherisments, although I don't unnecessarily upset unless there is something in it that annoys me. I admit to being a misanthrope, and that's probably the worst degree of being humourless, in the eyes of others. Still, I appreciate humans when they are translucent and free of ego. Sorry if I ruined anyone's mood. Hey, thanks H P Saucecraft for good nature.

What planet are you on? (Not you, Sev, we all know that...)
Yep, sense of humour in my case went absent when you attacked someone I know (and putting a motive on someone's work of whatever nature is attacking them regardless of what you say, as you did not divide the person from the work). My bad.
This bit about people rushing to defend the fantasies stirring between their legs? How on earth do you work that out when we're looking at a parody of how things used to be? Possibly says more about you.
For the record, if you look at the thread where you were so mercilessly attacked, you'll see no-one made any shrill accusations against you. Especially me, seeing as you're directing this my way.
You can hide behind your posturing about misthanropy all you like, and use lots of jargon to explain your intellectual position, but you insult someone you say sorry and own up to getting it wrong.
Oh hang on, you don't, do you? Because you're a misanthrope so you don't care. Except that you answered because - er - hang on...
If you're a WUM, you're a fairly good one, I'll give you that. If not, then you're not worth bothering with anymore. Which is a shame, as when you're not doing the 'I'll strike contrary poses for the sake of it' stuff, you're interesting on what this forum is actually about.

However I don't understand what you mean by "work". Do you know the author of the book?

"Parody". Sorry, I didn't get that. Demonik made the picture? He always posts covers. I thought this was yet another bookcover. I saw that the black and white picture below was a greeting card from Vault of Evil. But I could not make that out for the top picture. I thought it was suggestion for reading material. There has been a major misunderstanding here. If this was meant as parody, I am sorry Demonik. I still have the same thoughts about the photograph itself, but if put there in irony, it completely alters everything. Well, if anything, my miss could perhaps be seen as the greatest compliment to Demonik's talent for picture collage. This was a real bummer.

forget it, mr. knygathin. See you on the board. A lot of fun, I thought. But then I'm the author of Pulsating Posteriors and Submissive Misses. Ah, I remember that model of diligent research from Stefan Jaworzyn Shock: The Essential Guide To Exploitation Cinema (Titan, 1996). Very, ahem, "instructive" ...
