it really wasn’t though. I don’t recall all of the rules they handed down but some of them were just…they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Like a couple of examples. first being piss videos. if the content was filmed in Europe with European talent then Visa and MC were fine with it. IF you wanted to do the SAME content but it was filmed in the US with US talent then no, you couldn’t sell it. Maybe laws in Europe for peeing on people are different than the US? I don’t know.
Next was stuff like gang bang or orgy vids. I remember this one specifically cause one of the editors would ALWAYS complain about it. If a woman was getting nailed every which way by multiple guys at the end of the video she HAD to be interviewed to show that she really enjoyed what just happened to her. IF there was no post jizz party ted talk then Visa and MC would lose their collective minds. No one watched that shit but it had to be in there. so if you’re ever watching one of these videos and you wonder ‘why the hell is she giving an interview at the end of this thing?’ it’s cause Visa and MC need it.
That is honestly fascinating. I can appreciate there is an argument for consent in there, but if they were truly concerned about consent they would make that very clear. Seems almost as if they don’t care until they get enough complaints and then establish very specific rules exclusive to limited permutations of region and content.
Maybe it was a violence thing? Like they don’t want to advocate for punching someone in the cervix? 🤔
If they objected to violence in general this would be a fair thought, but they don’t.
Yes, you’re right. I was just being facetious because I had never thought of it as punching before and the thought was silly to me.
Maybe it deserves a new term? Like… Boxing?

Sounds like policy was driven by case law and the desire not to be sued.
