You can pay ISIS to be a suicide bomber if you want too, I still highly recommend against it.

You really just shit that nonsensical comparison into this topic and think you were actually making a point, didnt you? Didnt you. You tried.

Tried harder than your mother in law.

I think this comparison speaks for itself. Thanks for the laugh. As a radical leftist, you've given me a really great idea for a post-secondary class called 'Getting Beheaded By a Religious Extremist', and you only have to pay your life-savings.

Fools and their money are soon parted, no wonder people call college a scam.

Knowing Utah, or rather the people who run it, it's more likely the class will "instruct" on the dangers of porn, and beat you over the head with how it should be avoided.

Probably an interesting discussion in the class. There are certain groups that are heavily fetishized and have specific portrayals and roles within pornography. I think it's a good discussion to have, especially for cultural studies. However, tuition prices are very high, and a college degree separates people by class more than intelligence these days imo. With the caveat that lower class people showcase their talent in an agreeable way for scholarships, or out themselves in debt for decades.

This is also likely. Will probably discuss a lot of the violence in pornography towards women (which certainly exists), but skim over things like empowerment and autonomy some find with it.

Sounds interesting.

Notice it's a course and not a site, that would actually require some thinking..

The class is listed as one of the film courses available at the school where students will analyze this billion-dollar industry is as both a cultural phenomenon that reflects and reinforces sexual inequalities, according to the courses description.

...and that sucks the fun out of that.

Pretty much every group is heavily fetishized to a large degree. Singling them out is such a weird false narrative.

Probably would be a better Psych/Sociology type course, IMO

Some liberal chick mustve have absolutely broken your heart to be this consistently whiny

The loans the government gives out for college. Should not be allowed to be used for this. This should be pay out of your own pocket.

Pretty much this. There's also little overall social benefit to be had from it, since it's going to be taken pretty much exclusively by people who already recognize the cultural issues inherent in porn and are taking it because they're academically interested in exploring them, rather than people that haven't recognized those issues and would be sexually healthier if they received some education on the matter. There's a lot of potential merit in including something like this (though obviously not such a deep dive into the concept) in sex ed lessons for teenagers, but that comes with its own share of pitfalls and controversies that may outweigh the educational benefit.

Unless you're the sort of person who has fun analyzing sociological trends and issues as an academic exercise, which is exactly what academic institutions should be encouraging. You don't need to take a course to have a decent wank, after all.

By definition, a group being "fetishized" means they've already been singled out to some degree or another. There's plenty of discussion to be had around examples and trends, most likely covering quite a few different ones and probably including whichever poor, neglected demographic you're presuming is going to be persecuted by this "false narrative" you're alluding to with careful innuendo.

That said, if you've got a group in mind that has been fetishized to a degree that you don't feel has been adequately recognized, this would be a good topic in which to discuss that. That is, presuming you're actually committed to the belief and aren't just tossing out one-off ideas that you have no intention of defending and will make up some excuse about being afraid of moderation to get out of having to do so.

Where do you think the funds used to repay those loans come from? For that matter, why should this be held to a different funding standard than any other academic interest course? And why did you use a period at a point where no punctuation would have been appropriate?

I can't see it being worth anything anyway.

I wonder who'll earn the first PhD in Bukkake, then.

Good thing I'm a socialist and not a fucking liberal, but yes I do hate being grouped in with these goofballs, and colleges, in general, are very predatory, so I could care less for their open-minded rhetoric.

The hardcore porn textbook probably costs $1000 and comes with a DRM key that will only let you access the homework online if you have an unregistered key.

It's easier for students to understand the concepts presented in the course material if they have personal experience getting boned for somebody else's financial gain.

Well, yes, but that doesn't work as well as a context-specific joke.
