The message that I got from the “Dead Porn Stars Memorial” video was how tragically exposed individuals in the porn business are to deaths involving drugs, alcohol, murder, and suicide. My personal knowledge has led me to believe how pornography represents sex and violence in such a cohesive way that they practically go hand in hand. Even the media portrays sex and violence in this way whether it’s through advertising, television shows, or music. Typically, women are shown as vulnerable objects that are aiming to please while the men are the dominant figure—possessing an innate power over the female. This consistent presentation of women as a defenseless subjection to men generates the idea that men are inherently more powerful than women in every way. The degrading nature of pornography plays a huge part in the manifestation of this idea, and the more we are presented with this concept, the more it will affect our mindset.
