RealTickling - In my opinion a great site has a clip where he tickles a girl till she cries... at the time she is gaged... and seems to be in some degree of genuine distress. I have no idea if a secondary safe gaurd was used or not.
Yaqi - teases a girl in a clip when she asks for a safeword that safewords aren't used for tickling. (now from other sources I am 99% sure Yaqi uses safewords) and this was done in good fun but it illustrates that a producer might... represent there clip as non consentual not even as a lie but because that is the nature of the scene. Ticking is an act that the large number of people want to stop at least while its happening.. thus bondage and so forth.
Let's not talk about videos that show distress. Let's talk about videos that show someone ignoring an actual demand to stop, and the cursing, spitting and screaming that goes along with it.
So what is so different... well... the shakey camera angles give a nice feeling of realism that could be impacting the subconcious. You think I'm joking but that simple concept is taken very seriously in film school... take documentrys, Blair Witch Project, even scenes in Blockbusters like War of the Worlds...
I'm not critquing camera angles.
"I'd be interested to see if she would come back. But that wouldn't prove anything. I'm sure that she would come back for enough money." --- (I dont know how to do that cool right out of their post thing but Wendynpeter said it)
Now I don't think this comment comes from intentional racism, I think it comes from this idea that some people have it so bad that we fortunate ones should look out for them (ok Im fine with that) and that because of their situation they can't be trusted to make their own decisions (ok NOT fine with that!)
My claim is that in Southeast Asia, prostitution, sex slavery, trafficking in human beings, etc., are real and are real problems. We have no idea who agreed to what in the case at hand. Many posters are assuming there were negotiations and contracts and money exchanged, and I'm saying that we don't know whether there were or weren't. I'm also saying that there is a real possiblity that none of that happened.
Are we deluting ourselves into thinking all these american models who cry beg and plead just love being tickled, they have the same fetish and are just having a grand old time.
I certainly hope not.
... you don't get to second guess a grown ups choice to consent to something (now that is just my opinion but I hold it strongly)
Sure you do. That's a very naive outlook in today's global world.
I am a Dom... I have no intrest in getting into the debate over RACK and traditional SSAC ideology, but when a grown up concents thats all you can ask.
See my comments elsewhere in this thread for my response to this.
It is really challenging the relms of fairness to say "well she consented, but there was alot of money involved so it wasen't consent" so I think if the girl came back it would prove alot.
That's not an accrate account of my argument. I'm saying that given the state of human rights in some Southeast Asian countries, we cannot assume consent in the first place, AND EVEN IF THERE WAS CONSENT, that does not mean consent cannot be withdrawn.
Now I feel as I'm typing this as if I'm misrepresenting Peters point... because he didn't say the consent was void, I just think that this is a point where to me the argument just "dosen't feel right" as they say.
Not even close. See above.
I honestly think that is where WendynPeters feelings come from, a combination of implied realism on the part of the director... a language barrier (one of the reasons I haven't seen the clips, cause I like to know what a girl's saying)
What do you mean "I haven't seen the clips"???? THat just negates everything you've said in this epistle. Jesus Christ. Whatever, let's continue...
and a feeling that it is our responsibility to protect those who are less fortunate... but I think that if we imply that their given concent is not valid... we are setting a dangerous double standard. American girls do it for the money...
There IS a different standard for women who live in a place where you can be sold into slavery and prostitution.
To finish, I think WendynPeters heart is in the right place. I don't know maybe WendynPeter is right. If it goes to far it goes to far... if it crosses the relm of consent or child abuse or sexual exploitation then it does and its wrong, I dont know... I just think without hard proff it is dangerous to throw around allegations at a persons buisness.
This is a real and difficult issue. Given the circumstances, we simply cannot assume the burden of proof in the same way as if the video originated in the U.S. I think it's just a very bad idea to produce this kind of video in the heart of an area in the world where women are treated so badly. Early comments made by the producer to me asserted that my objections to the way the women were treated were out-of-bounds because I was criticizing their culture (of misogyny). Which I was, and will continue to do.
And with all do respect to the producers... I know models and actresses... by their nature alot of what you see is fake beause they want to perform their task. So to lets not pretend that "because we saw it on tv it MUST BE REAL"
I don't think any of us are being that naive. I think it's perfectly clear what's in the video -- for those of us who have SEEN the video ...
