And obviously it will cross different lines for different people, so all of these boundaries are blurry.

I am very glad that we've gotten beyond the "It's not funny" to "Here are ways of doing it well, to counteract the ways of doing it badly."

Which reminds me of the feminist porn makers out there, trying to make _good_ porn to counteract the stuff they don't like, rather than trying to get it shut down.
