Hmmm, I feel like pornography is way to complex to just reduce it to it being bad. And I feel like you can’t talk about pornography without acknowledging (black feminist) pleasure politics.
I feel like you can’t just write off pornography... not when it’s been an avenue for Black women to be able to articulate their desires, experience their own pleasure or the representation of other black bodies in pleasure.
I feel like we can acknowledge that the porn industry is corrupt, and at the same time read for ecstasy, which black feminists doing pornography studies have already pointed out
“The Black Body in Ecstasy” by Jennifer C. Nash and “A Taste For Brown Sugar” by Mireille Miller-Young, were two books that offered perspectives I hadn’t considered before
