Physical Feedback: Introduction

I've decided to start reviewing pornography on this blog, mainly because I feel it's the one category of art that just doesn't seem to have much criticism going on in it. Most art critics have this silly idea that pornography is somehow beneath their notice, and most people who view it as a valid and important form of expression don't seem inclined to become critics of it themselves (outside of occasionally complaining about industry trends) so I figure I might as well pick up the torch myself, in the hope that the barrenness of the market might afford me some visibility and eventually lead to a cultural shift. If not, well at least I'll have fun whacking off to smut and then blogging about it. It's a win-win situation.

So: Physical Feedback will update weekly, on Sundays, partly because that's when I'm free to spend some time writing about porn (after spending some time using it as intended so I can actually focus worth a damn while writing about it) and partly because the thought of sitting at home writing about porn while other people are off at church just tickles me inside. There's no set format for the text of the review, I'll just be talking about whatever I find noteworthy in the piece in whatever order I find appropriate, but at the end there will be a numerical score. This score will be placed on a scale of -5 to 5; 0 is the border between porn that I like and would consider returning to, and porn that I dislike and would prefer to avoid. Obviously the further from that border, the more strongly I feel.

Finally, a content warning. These reviews will contain images, generally ones captured from the subject of review, so don't read them at work or anywhere else that you'd be worried about someone seeing filthy filthy smut on your screen.

Physical Feedback: "VictimGirls R: Molestation Eradication Campaign" by Asanagi

Content warning: molestation, rape, sexual violence Last week I spoke pretty positively about one of Asanagi's VictimGirls doujins, and this week I thought it might be interesting to provide a counterpoint with an entry in the series which I find it difficult to enjoy, primarily on moral and cultural grounds. VictimGirls 21 took place in a clearly fantastical setting and involved the use of magical garments and mind control, which made it very easy to compartmentalize the morality of the scenario and simply to project onto whatever participant most appealed to your desires; VictimGirls R: Molestation Eradication Campaign , however, takes a... different approach. The book portrays a feminist movement against molestation in which young girls appoint themselves as unofficial anti-molestation activists and publicly call out molesters on trains. Said movement is almost immediately revealed to be comprise primarily of self-serving, sadistic, or suggestible girls partaking in spurious...

DOOM and Gloom: E1M3: Toxin Refinery

This here's a classic level, and one featuring more nukage than the supposed "Nuclear Plant." As soon as you open the first door, you're greeted with on the most iconic rooms in the entire WAD; a raised walkway bordering a big ol' pool of corrosive sludge, teeming to the brim with pinkies, shotgunners, and zombiemen. Toxin Refinery is a great example of what most people think of when they think DOOM; On Ultraviolence (and especially UV-fast) you really start getting put through your paces here, with crowds of hitscanners that start out across the room while you're stuck dealing with the up-close melee monsters, plus a smattering of imps to harass you as well. It's on this stage where you really start to learn how terrifying pinkies can be when playing with -fast, they'll get right up in your face and stay there in a way that you just really don't have to deal with at normal speed, and of course shotgunners will almost instantly deal damage on sigh...
