I feel somewhat better about the term when it is defined thus: "Debates with LNers constitute Assassination Porn".
It fits kind of in a concept I hold of "Mayhem Porn", bloodfests of "the news" and slasher flicks.
I don't "do" Mayhem Porn.
No need for titillation by violent death, nor the portrayals of same in Hollywood efforts to separate the patron from their money. No "1000 ways to die" crap played in this house.
I've seen enough of those things in reality on the job Ironworking and know the BS representations of dying fostered by the Wurlitzer. As Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) dies in "Saving Private Ryan" at peace knowing victory was won.
Most likely BS. I have to doubt that version of events a la big screen. But "they" made a pile of money...
We will all face death, why glorify mayhem? I just don't get it.
I don't get endless LN debate either. I learned from the concept that I don't "do" Assassination Porn either.
Thanks and Best Regards.
