Does, this count as an art?

[MMM]

I think it depends on the creator's intentions. If he intends to make art, then it is art. If he intends to make pornography, then I don't think its art.

I'm not gay but I don't think it is in a girls dream to be raped by a desperate homo feasting off porn on the computer. I'm not interested but I want to prove to my friend that hentai shouldn't be his "favorite" art. Even if it's just because it isn't an art. Does any of this get through to your tiny brain?

I think you are right but you don't need to try to offend.It was you who was asking too much things about Henati so it was natural for me or for anyone else to think you that you were the one interested.

I understand your intention but I wasn't trying to offend. It is nature for the human to not think and assume what they do not know, and I understand that too. It's kwl. I'm just saying my friend needs to stop with that because I don't want him to end up being a desperate rapist too. I don't have the money to bail him out and neither does his own family. I just want the world to understand hentai can be either art or entertainment, if you are drawing of making then it is art, if you are watching or looking at, it is entertainment. I think porn is bad anyway. It ruins the internet because it is addicting like smoking, it ruins lives as well. DON'T WATCH/LOOK AT PORN/HENTAI! IT IS BAD!

why are you 2 associating pornography with rape.........???? 90% of rapists are sexually frustrated... they don't learn it from porn!!! The cases in which rapists rape because they saw it in porn is ridiculously low!!!... its like saying rape didn't exist before porn!

[Ichigo2013]

Rape was around before porn but more rape can happen because porn is addicting and leads people to want the real thing. Rape + Porn = Bad

Back on topic, is hentai a true form of art or just entertainment? Coming from both point of views, do you honestly think hentai is art or entertainment? I think it is entertainment because more people watch it then they do draw it. Is it not blatant?

lol I'm bringing this up because Michelangelo is the most famous example of the Renaissance art, and the Sistine Chapel is one of his most famous works. And I really don't think any of his nude paintings would still be there if they were considered as porn xD

Anyway let's stop derailing Ichigo2013's thread =)

ok, well two mistakes there... Rape + nothing = BAd... you don't need porn... and Porn+ nothing = good (ejaculation is actually good for your health)

Rape and porn have nothing to do with each other. The fact that over 99.9% of people that watch porn never rape anyone is proof enough. Rapists are going to commit their crimes whether they look at porn or not, so I think you need to end this line of logic.

More people look at painting than paint paintings. Does that make paintings entertainment, too? I think you need to take this theory back to the shop, too.

Oops....too late for that advice *raises hand* I'm an addidct to all kinds of art

Anywayz it is in the interest in the beholders eyes and knowledge to know whether or not they want to look or not. You can't really force someone to stop looking at something that apparently peaks their interest. If they don't like it they won't look......hmmm.......unless you have a gun to their head and blow their brains out that's the only way, you can stop them.....but then again if you can persuade them to have other interests

Ok, well, we need to get back on topic but first, art can be anything, not just entertainment, it is usually but for viewers it can be a reference and ect.

Just get back on topic.

Is it considered art in your mind?
Persuading it what I am trying to do, not force him to stop.

O and how is ejaculating good for your health?
