It's a refrain I've seen thrown out there as a pithy excuse, in my opinion, for allowing the actions of others to stand.
"It's Just Porn."
Three simple words that are to stand as an encapsulation of an anything goes attitude, and if you don't just acquiesce or roll with the punches, then you must just be some stodgy civilian or an insider with a burr up their ass.
It's a phrase that speaks of a high level of arrogance for those who might be voicing a complaint, or merely speaking out loud about something that bothers them and, hey, maybe it wouldn't hurt to re-examine it a little bit.
I know, I know. I am providing ammunition for those who utter this vile little phrase. In some respects, I guess I am playing right into their hands with my declaration of war on this lazy turn of phrase.
And as a civilian, I know that my words are not going to be held in any esteem.
But I just have to throw out there that just because you are in porn, it shouldn't be viewed as carte blanche to do or say stupid, offensive, ignorant things (even in the context of work) and be given a free pass for it.
