When it comes to discussing with personalities about the crisis currently affecting the adult industry, we do not expect from them to be shocked, or even to sympathize, and we know very well, adds to the usual hypocrisy towards porn, there is often a speech “face camera”, prudish, critical or sarcastic … and there is the “backstage” strangely much less conservative, especially when the interested come face to me …. But on Tuesday, December 1st , when at the end of his interview for the french TV show “Ce soir (ou jamais!)” Frederic Taddei refers to actor Christian Clavier that the adult industry could totally disappear, this one replies nonchalantly, “It is no more serious than that”. The films have disappeared from heatres to be at least broadcasted on the channel Canal Plus. “Between the two I do not know what is the worst”; then, about Larry Flynt “we will not shoot a cripple, but finally as he is in a chair, none can say anything. ”
I have not noticed then because it wasn’t my turn yet to speak and indeed, offended by a speech so contemptuous, I thought for a moment of a kind of humor … very bad taste. But no, it is not humor. Mr Clavier is then very seriously. And you know what? The crisis in the adult industry is also a very serious matter. If the mainstream industry generates profits on the sale of popcorn and ice cream, we multiply the sales of Kleenex, that’s a fact. That said, porn industry represents thousands of people who work around the world : producers, directors, actors, makeup artists, technicians …. Just as in mainstream cinema. And just like mainstream movies or music industry, we belong to us as the great family of Entertainment and it is not by chance that our presence can make video stores surviving and make VOD platforms possible. It seems to me that I don’t have so much to convince anyone of the economic and cultural rôle and impact of porn in our society. So first point: if Christian Clavier only watch his movies and closes his eyes to the society where he lives, then I’d suggest that he just closes his mouth..
Agressiveness and hate are often manifestations of ignorance and fear. Does Christian Clavier feel threatened? What frightens him so much?A few X-rated films ( high quality features with condoms only) are broadcasted on Canal Plus..and it is something “serious”? Is it a crime? But then he must immediately throw the leaders of Canal Plus in prison, we should at least sue them! Why nobody responds?* … Good news! Christian Clavier gives up the idea of shooting Larry Flynt as, good for him, he is already disabled… Larry Flynt would be a terrorist? Once again, would Mr Clavier be so ignorant not to know that Mr. Flint was left quadriplegic after having been shot in the spine and almost lost his life? Why indeed? Because he had published explicit photos of a black woman with a white man. So …was it fair? Did he deserve it?
Larry Flynt has helped empower a basically puritan America. At one extreme censorship, he opposed extremist discourse and provocative images and speech , he fought for freedom of speech, for sexual emancipation, for fighting against the idea that sex is a crime or a vice similar to alcohol, drugs, violence. Today he continues to struggle and denounced some American institutions and their political representatives, by caricaturing them and combining humor and provocation. And yes, there are several ways to laugh at society, but should I really remember that to a man whose occupation is « actor » ?
So if C. Clavier won’t say anything to Larry Flynt because he is in a wheelchair, me, Katsuni, porn actress, I do not just listen to the remarks and insults that affect the profession that I defend, because yes, it is a profession. And the question is not to debate the artistic merit of porn movies, if that is what causes C.Clavier as much disdain.. We are talking about an industry that generate fantasizes, pleasures , that make millions of people come all around the world all day and all night. (Are aminstream actors too “good” to not belong to those millions?) and we are talking about the right to retain our ability to express ourselves and live through pornography.
I want to say that I do not militate for porn. If you do not like porn, I totally understand, you do not watch it, then good for you! But between not understanding the world of porn and the people who belong to it , and condemn and despise them, there’s a line to not cross.
.. So? Should we consider me as a witch and burn me alive Mr Clavier?
