The text talks about the animated pornography and how is related enclosed by film and animation. There is a big taboo surrounding the pornography, and even if it is one of the richest industries around the world, and the most consumed a lot of people refuse speak about it or recognize that they watch it. The writer highlight that because animation is not real the animators can do anything weather if it is etic or not. Pornography is not a new creation of the modern era, as it exists since the prehistory, with nude and erotic Palaeolithic objects or paintings or also in ceramics in Greece or Roma. Across the time we can find erotic representation in all around the planet such as Japan, China, India, Persia among others. Furthermore, those all representations are the predecessors of the modern animated pornography, being all these representations made from non-real characters. Moreover, seems that when we represent a non-real erotic or pornographic symbol is more ethical and social accepted that a real one. In my opinion pornography is not a bad thing, but there are some aspects that I do not like, for example the way that almost all the movies are shot only for the men pleasure, being the women just an object. Also there is a gap with some of the representations in animated pornography where we can find character that seems kids abused for old people, having relations between each other or doing other bizarre things. To sum up, we need to change a little bit the vision about the pornography but without forget that even if something exist do not means that it is ethic. Bibliography: Capino, J. (2004). Filthy Funnies: Notes on the Body in Animated Pornography. In: Animation Journal. Vol 12 Image: Suzuki Harunobu - Geese descending on the koto bridges ( Kotoji rakugan) Glossary: Hyperbolically: Obvious and intentional exaggeration, an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally. In animation one of the most exaggerated figures would clearly be body language and facial expressions. This came from the major influence of the 40´s director Tex Avery who made animated series filled with hyperbolic expressions and constant sexual references. Thanks to him, this tool has been used in many animated movies and series such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit or The Simpsons.
